The Road Back

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Subject Matter
Genres: superhero
Character(s): Mayor Robert F. Wagner Jr. (unnamed)
First Line: Having been framed by Power Man and the Enchantress, the angry Avengers are under orders to disband, after being declared public menaces by the city council...
Synopsis: Forced to disband the Avengers, Hawkeye, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch cannot find work until the Ringmaster hires them. Unable to control them, he tells the police that they tried to rob his Circus. Suddenly the three are on the run. While working on his own, Captain America is able to pin the whole scheme on Enchantress and Power Man. Enchantress bails back to Asgard. Power Man, deprived of his lady love, surrenders. The City Council withdraws its order: the Avengers may assemble again. But Captain America has had enough of Hawkeye and refuses to rejoin.
