The Thunderbolts disobey Citizen V's orders and face-off with the Elements of Doom.

Zemo demanded access to the Avengers’ files and when they weren’t forthcoming he refused support from the Thunderbolts .

"So you're...men, but made out of specific varieties of metal? Why, that would mean you're some kind of --"

"ENOUGH! Do NOT finish that sentence! There's lawyers everywhere! Bad enough that we're in a court battle with the Latverian state - do you want us to end up in the Multiversal Supreme Court as well, you sadists?!"

“Somehow, Ea-Nasir’s corrupt Copper returned—and brought friends!”

Well, one is made of helium...

[icon_uk]

They're the ELEMENTS of Doom, not the Metals of Doom.

We see Helium and Bromine here after all.

I'm surprised you skipped the biggest moment of this issue, as has significant effects on one character's status quo for the next few years.

[zachbeacon]

Techno/Fixer/[Spoiler] is one of those weird characters that's spent so much time replaced by a duplicate that it's hard to keep track of which one is really them...or if they all are.

Like Jean Grey.
Or Domino.
Or Mondo.
Or M.
(The X-Men really have to do something about their vetting process)

The end bits lead to Zemo musing "they got into this, they can get themselves out. If they can't...well, there's always more where they came from."

Holy periodic table—it’s Al Milgrom and P.J. O’Rourke’s Legion of Elements! (Warning for genre-typical racial and gender stereotypes.)

(So is Vibranium in the roll call somewhere?)

[icon_uk]

Vibranium has been seen as a member, though they'd renamed themselves "Masters of Alchemy" for that story, so might have been acknowledging that vibranium isn't exactly an ordinary element.

Adamantium has not, though

[iamrman]

Is adamantium not a compound?

[zachbeacon]

You really have to appreciate the restraint it takes for the rest of the team - especially Abe - not to punch Norbert in the face.

Of course, that's a good way to hurt your hand after this issue.
