The highlight of this era is the Under Siege storyline where the Avenger's counterparts, the Masters of Evil, take over the Avengers Mansion after defeating the Avengers taking them hostage. In the event "Operation: Galactic Storm," the Kree and Shi'ar galactic empires declare war in a dispute over the deceased Captain Marvel's technology while in the X-Men crossover event "Bloodties," a rogue Acolyte of Magneto, Fabian Cortez, kidnaps Quicksilver and Crystal's daughter, Luna, to hold hostage for his safety drawing both the Avengers and the X-Men into a conflict in the war torn, recovering mutant apartheid state, Genosha.
This era ends in the Onslaught event. Originating in the X-Men series, an immensely powerful mutant emerges, dominating the will of others and creating an unstoppable force that requires the sacrifice of Earth's mightiest heroes to defeat. |
