The Story So Far...


The Story SO FAR: What we know is America Chavez ‘ported into Universe-4007 a few days ago and felt…something. A ripple, a tremor in the fabric of reality. A warning, and it was coming from Earth. She landed in St Louis, Mo (Earth-4007) still feeling the low hum of the disturbance. Putting down stakes, she took a room at the YWCA and enrolled in the local middle school to keep her ear to whatever was going on in the universe. Nothing gets by Earth teenagers.

Meanwhile, Miles Eduardo Morales kept busy these past few weeks, stopping gas station holdups and neighborhood taggers. His SHIELD training is on hold until, well until he hears from Nick Fury. He reported to the secret meeting location for his twice-a-week training routine, but no one showed. Not Fury, May, Fitz, or any of the Avengers-in-Training. Come to think of it, the Avengers are off-world and incommunicado. If not for his run-in with Ms. Marvel over the weekend, he’d swear he was the only costumed hero in the whole city.

And don’t forget Caiero “Skaar” Bannerson, son of the rage-fueled Avenger and world renowned scientist Dr. Bruce Banner. His adjustment to civilized life is steady, but he prefers the noise of pterodactyl and to trucks. His “puny” form is happy to be among the peace, well as peaceful as a middle school hallway can be. Food is easier to come by in the city of St Louis. No longer must he transform into a raging behemoth to feast on prehistoric meats. Now there’s hotdogs, hot and ready and doused in ketchup. He misses his father though, well the “puny” side of him does. Bruce answered his A-card days ago, and ever since Skaar returns to an empty home each night. Though he now gets to stay up and watch Adult Swim.

Kingpin controls the St Louis underworld. Zebediah Killgrave is an up and coming boss who keeps his eyes on Fisk’s throne and his desire on a myth of the underworld. But who truly controls the under-world? Strange earthquakes disrupt St Louis monthly, and no one seems to understand why. With large scale events taking place around the globe, SHIELD is stretched thin, and HYDRA grows bold. Cells are popping up and claiming terrorist acts. The underworld whispers “Heads of Hydra always grow back.” Has Kraken returned or worse the Red Skull? And who has stolen the thunder? Strange storms amass across the globe, resulting in strange occurrences, and reports of fallen stars whose metallic heads resemble hammers. All of this and reports of “little green men” to boot. Things are strange on Earth-4007, strange indeed.
