Confident they will die from his weapon, he has them taken to a nearby temple for burial. Elsewhere: 'Perfect' a boy wearing glasses, hunched over a computer thinks to himself as he stares into the screen. The torch looks puzzled, and apologizes to Captain America, informing him that without even being activated, this system was somehow used recently to reroute a message to Avengers HQ in New York, and that it is from an address in the Midwest.

He drops down and finds several figures that look similar to him. Landing safely, Cap is then punched by a strange large creature that grins in the shadows, and takes Cap's shield from him, 'Got it' the creature grins.

he exclaims.

the Torch calls out as Berth drops down towards him – until the Torch flies into her, before he is swallowed by her flesh, cutting him off mid-sentence as he informs Cap that Betha is faster than she looks. That means Hawkeye (your favourite one, Kate Bishop)! 'I mean by someone who looked extremely like Captain America' Mister Immortal corrects himself, revealing that he wanted them to retrieve his shield from a fake Cap who had stolen it. To Cap's surprise, the trace leads back to the West Coast Avengers Compound. He continues to tap away at the keyboard and tells himself that should complete the final edit. The Torch transfer control of the central console to Wonder Man's quarters, and tells him that he really has to fly, as he then blasts out of the communications room. Cap utters, before the Torch grabs Cap and takes flight, announcing that they are out of here. He puts a connection in to the Compound, and soon, the original Human Torch answers the call from the Compound. The Torch recovers from his electrocution, and arrives at the amusement park, where the boy, Stevie, uses the Ruby of Cyttorak to create several Torch duplicates to keep the Human Torch busy. He dives down under the river, thinking that this is just as bad as the fun house. Cap knows that he has to move fast, but can't re-establish the connection.

And a guy named Fuse! 'And that was the last anyone had heard of the mystic ruby of Cyttorak -' the Torch thinks to himself, before he screams in pain as he is struck by a bolt of lightning mid-flight. the Torch thinks to himself, covering his face with his hand, telling himself that he can't even fight a mouse in this condition, when suddenly, he sees a figure running out of the hall, 'Rick? Suddenly, inside the wax museum, Cap comes to a stop, and the Torch gulps hard as they find themselves confronted by a large number of super beings including Thor, Iron Man, Sersi, the Hulk, Cable, Power Man, Mr Fantastic, Quicksilver and more. He explains that yesterday morning Hank Pym showed up at Avengers Compound to take a look at Goliath, the villain they recently fought and captured. Another untold story has Juggernaut reclaiming the gem of Cyttorak from Stevie, and when Juggernaut next appears in Dr Strange (3rd series) #44 he is back to his old self.

Some good covers here though, check out the version of #1 that I have: leagueofcomicgeeks.com/comic/5793226/west-coast-avengers-1?variant=5156580. Outside, the Human Torch flies towards the amusement park, rubbing his head after the lightning bolt packed a mean punch. 'Help!' he replies. Stevie then swears revenge on the Avengers.

Then everyone dive in!' 'I just teleported it over – it's gone!' That means Hawkeye (your favourite one, Kate Bishop)!
