"Why can't I be one of those galaxy hunting superheroes? Why do I end up in the sewers? You don't find the Fantastic Four in a sewer. Or the Avengers. Never have I seen the Avengers in the sewer. . . or the Defenders. Well maybe the Hulk."
The Avengers, including Iron Man, Captain America, Hercules, She-Hulk, Vision, Giant-Man, Speedball, Darkhawk, Justice, Rage, and Goliath help the Fantastic Four in the cold opening.
