"There Are No Words"
Or, silent movies in comic form.

Seven scans from Avengers vol. 3, #49.



Kang has once again launched an offensive against Earth, after weakening the Avengers by putting them through battle against old enemies. In an attempt at retaliation, a group lead by Captain America and Iron Man launch a space attack against Kang's fortress and another entity called the Triple Evil, but wind up stranded in space after the fight against the latter. Kang, claiming that by attacking his fortress, the Avengers have removed the fight from "fair battlefields", decides to stop being benevolent and start eliminating civilian targets. One of his forcefield rings has enveloped Washington D.C., keeping all civilians and politicians from escaping as Kang attacks with Sentinels he commandeered from the US military. A small team of Avengers made up of Thor, Wasp, Wonder Man, and Firebird make it into the shield to take out the Sentinels, only to find out that while Kang's image is holographic enough that they can't hurt him, the reverse definitely isn't true. Wasp comes across a downed helicopter full of Secret Service and the President, and Thor uses Mjolnir to open a portal to get them out. He can't open one big enough for the entire populace, though, so their only chance is to stop Kang. Thor orders Wasp and Firebird through the portal, since he and Wonder Man can survive anything Kang might throw at them.

They still weren't expecting this.









Faced with the prospect of Kang doing this to every other major city on Earth, and having run out of defenses, the governments have no choice but to surrender.

I'd actually say that Speedfreak was the most dangerous, as he absolutely mauled the Hulk a few times.

And Namorita was by no means overkill for Nitro. Even before he got amped up, he threw down with Captain Marvel and held his own against an early Genis and did some damage to Iron Man.

The problem with comparing it to law enforcement, is that the Warriors *weren't* law enforcement. They were a reality TV show, looking for ratings and allowed themselves to be compromised before they had a set plan.

Police, in a situation like this would get more leeway, because it would be understood that while they are trained and professional (ideally), shit happens. A private citizen screws a situation like this up, everyone would ask why they were in the situation in the first place.

Though, freakin' hell, the Warriors should have been shown as professionals and not glory hogs. Millar, as ever, went with the easy route.
