Synopsis for "Shadows of the Future Past!"

Dr. Druid is haunted in his dreams by a strange woman. The Avengers are the guests of honor at a New York City sponsored party. Unfortunately, a strange mutation overwhelms Marrina and transforms her into an leviathan-like sea monster that ravages the east coast in a rampage.

Notes

• Kang-Nebula first makes mental contact with Doctor Druid and begins to further his own ambitions.
• First appearance of Kang-Nebula, although it's later revealed in Avengers: Terminatrix Objective #1-4 that Kang-Nebula was really Ravonna/Terminatrix.
• Thor returns to the team.
• Edwin Jarvis returns to the Avengers (Earth-616) staff after recovering from injures sustained in Avengers #274-Avengers #275.
• Marrina's behavior turns erratic and she causes destruction fleeing from the Avengers and first gains the alias "Leviathan," based on the monstrous sea-serpent form she takes on. It's later revealed that she's pregnant.
