Avengers #327

[ozaline]

Reed Richards is quite wrong... a soviet nuclear tech who had been exposed to a seriously unhealthy dose of radiation while trying to prevent the meltdown of Chernobyl, only to find saboteurs on hand, has been brought to Doctor Estivez, the best hematologist in America, for a bone marrow transplant. But when she unhooks the sedative flow in his containment suit, the Avengers are faced with a man who has gained superpowers from the treatments already given him by the Russians but who still thinks he's trying to save Chernobyl.. Those powers include controls over Nuclear forces... clearly this isn't a situation that calls for the talents of Mr. Fantastic, good thing he stayed home






As their foe poses an extreme danger to himself and New York Iron Man makes the risky call of asking Thor to enact "Plan D," and use Mjolnir to draw the Avengers, the doctor, and the KGB handler into another dimension where the laws of science do not work, and they might be able to treat him.









Doctor Estivez reasons that Sersi's powers should allow them to shift the marrow of the closest downer to match her patient.





Someone said, "Center of Mass," in a Larry Hama comic... take a shot!



The monsters they ran into rouse their leader Ngh the Unspeakable, who plans to use the Avengers to escape this world in which he's been imprisoned... we'll see how that goes, next time.

Seems accurate you have crime incidents you send Daredevil or a street level team, mutant problems an X-men team will take charge, cosmic catastrophes you send e FF, mystical Doctor Strange, and super villain threats the Avengers.

It's a system that requires different leveled heroes.

[ozaline]

Sure but give the specific nature of this threat Reed mighta come in handy.

[tigerkaya]

Yeah but Reed isn't a radiation expert he had to call Doc Ock for help. The avengers could have either called Banner, Morbius, or even Radioactive Man.

[icon_uk]

Otto is certainly a specialist, but given his experiments trying to reverse Ben's comsic radiation induced transformation, Reed probably has SOME information about how radiation affects the human body, and more than any of those Avengers do.
