Synopsis for "Empire's End"

The nega-bomb ravages through the Kree Empire killing billions and bringing the empire to an end. The Avengers reassemble and travel to Hala to recover Captain America. They learn that the Supreme Intelligence orchestrated this holocaust so that the Kree genetic deadend could be routed, in a few thousand years of course. One group of Avengers (Iron Man, Black Knight, Sersi, Hercules, Vision, Wonder Man and Thor) decide to end the threat of the Supreme Intelligence once and for all, over the resistance of the rest of the team who will play no part in the murder. The group defeats the Supreme Intelligence and destroy it. The Shi'ar claim the Kree Homeworld and set up Deathbird as its new ruler. The Supreme Intelligence seems to have survived the assassination and is prepared to be patient.

Notes
