CONTINUED FROM AVENGERS and ANGELA'S DEATH NOTE
In 2015 the king of gods joined the Avengers and a dark angel with a death note killed most of the world leaders. That was 5 years ago. Now Anthony Stark's A.I.M. (Avengers Idea Mechanics) controls all technology. A deadly Legacy is airborne and the mutant "problem" is solved. Nightcrawler reigns over all dark places both seen and unseen and he does it with a hint of insanity. Mr. Fixit is the kingpin and his family "manages" and organizes all crime. All hotspots, political disputes, wars, overpopulation and disease are no longer. It is all because of a new world order, a unified world under one government body...THE AVENGERS. Odin, Dark Phoenix (Rachel), Black Panther, Sentry, Captain America (Conan), Doom, Lord Marvell (Carol), Sphinx and Maestro. They rule the world, protect it from all invaders and all perceived enemies. However, each of the "Houses" have a seat at the table as part of the Parliament. The House of Secrets, House of Doom, House of Marvels, House of Plunder, House of Hulks, House of M, House of Atlantis and the House of Spiders. Each House has a voice and an agenda.

There are still unresolved problems. This includes the uncontrollable independent country of the Savage Land, the growing Morlock situation, the threat of the Church of Aquarius especially it's leader and the instability/in-sustainability of Spider-Island. There is also the blacklist of the enemies of the state: Steve Rogers, Donald Blake, Sam Wilson, Raven Darkholme and Kamala Khan which are being dealt with. However, today the Avengers are on a hunt and destroy mission of another, the deity called Beyonder. He has been in hiding and for the first time in his existence he understand the human emotions of fear and mortality. In an epic and explosive war of gods, the Beyonder is no more.Whenever a god dies there are major repercussions. Like a mountain dropped in an ocean the ripple effects are world-wide chaos and destruction.

Odin's ship Skidbladnir which was forged by gods has been converted to the Avengers HQ. Due to frequent infighting there is growing damage to this incredible edifice. This is also symbolic of the cracks in the team structure which becomes more evident every passing day and no one can be trusted. There are secrets that created a tentative bond between the Avengers, this is reflected by what lies beneath the monumental structure. A giant god in a box that is the source of infinite power which provides energy for entire world called Galactus! Then there's the shackled and tortured greatest warrior of all time, aka GOKU!?!

"Making a List"
Angela is a dark angel of death, a bounty hunter working under the auspices of Heaven. She eradicates evil with weaponry, her bare hands or by any means necessary. Light Yagami is very popular, athletic and super-intelligent young adult who has just started at the prestigious Tokyo University after placing first in national exam tables and university entrance exams. The only thing that Angela and Light have in common is they both possess a Death Note (death notebook) that once belonged to a Shinigami (death god) named Ryuk. Ryuk was slain by Angela, but the Death Notes still maintain their immense powers. Any name written in the Death Note that the writer has visualized...will die! The method, manner and time of death is up to the user. Light has been writing down and ending various known criminals and terrorist, first regionally and then nationally....but he wants more. Angela has a more hands on approach, but can't deny the effectiveness of the Death Note. Today the 2 meet for the first time and while she seeks to have Light meet his maker, he convinces her of a bigger plan. Together they can change the world, but to do so the people in power have to go.
