While the others fight the possessed villains and other people, Venom uses his symbiote to break the Crowns and capture Taskmaster.<ref>''Secret Avengers'' #32</ref>
When the second incarnation of the Secret Avengers raid Bagalia to free Taskmaster, they end up fighting through the Masters of Evil.
