Avengers Undercover is an ongoing comic book series published by Marvel Comics that debuted in March 2014 as part of wave three of the Marvel NOW! relaunch. It serves as a sequel to Avengers Arena.

Publication history

The series follows the survivors of Avengers Arena (minus X-23 and Darkhawk) - Nico, Chase, Hazmat, Cammi, Death Locket, Cullen Bloodstone, and Anachronism - as they try to infiltrate the Masters of Evil. Hopeless said, "The characters who survived Murderworld came out the other side much different than they went in. Those psychological scars from the "Arena" weigh heavily on all of the kids. They don't fit so well into their old lives. They no longer feel like they belong and they're all looking for a way to get back what they've lost. All of this leads them down the path of Avengers Undercover."[1]

Plot

It's been three months since the events in Arcade's latest Murderworld. Hazmat has quit the Avengers Academy and is in hiding, coping with PTSD from her time in Murderworld, Chase Stein and Nico Minoru have become bitter enemies as Nico has left the Runaways while condemning Chase for going before the media, who have become obsessed with the events of Avengers Arena following Arcade leaking the footage of the carnage online. Death Locket is once again being held prisoner by S.H.I.E.L.D., though she is able to escape through the help of a sympathetic agent who is helping her cope with her ever evolving cybernetic implants. Cammi is back in Alaska, having discovered her mother had survive a previous attempt on her life by Cammi's space based enemies and struggling with her own PTSD by attending AA meetings with her mom. Cammi reunites with Hazmat, Chase Stein, Nico Minoru, and Deathlocket after Anachronism summons them to England. Cullen Bloodstone had dropped out of the Braddock Academy and become obsessed with killing Arcade, ultimately tracking him to Bagalia. Anachronism then reveals that Cullen has formed an alliance with the Masters of Evil who control the country.
