Synopsis for "The Phantom Empire!"

The Beast and Captain America, after battling strange uniformed troops, meet with the other Avengers to compare notes. At the mansion, they are joined by Iron Man and Moondragon, who report that the time-travelling Hawkeye may have been waylaid by Kang. Thor and Moondragon resolve to seek him out, while the rest help Cap investigate the connection between the Brand Corporation, Roxxon Oil, and the earlier attackers. They are joined by Patsy Walker, who holds the Beast to his one-time promise to help her become a costumed heroine. The six soon arrive at the Brand complex, where the security force, to their surprise, is comprised of five members of the Squadron Supreme, who proceed to overcome the heroes and take them captive. Meanwhile, Moondragon calls on the aid of Immortus, who whisks her and Thor through the timestream. where they skirmish with Kang. Pursuing the villain, they find themselves in the American West of 1873.
