Heroes Reborn

This collection gathers five one-shot stories set in a reality where the Avengers never existed. Each follows a different corner of that world, and each reworks familiar Marvel characters into new roles.

Hyperion is a teenager here, and he and his friends in the Shi'ar Imperial Guard meet horror and agony in the Negative Zone. Peter Parker is the biggest Hyperion fan around. A photography job at the Daily Bugle also puts him on friendly terms with his favorite hero.

Magneto gathers his Mutant Force years after his kind were massacred. Their mission is a deadly rescue. Another issue introduces the Young Squadron: Sam Alexander as Kid Spectrum, Kamala Khan as Girl Power and Miles Morales as the new Falcon.

The last story turns to the villains' side. Baron Zemo commands a strike force of Natasha Romanov, Clint Barton, Scott Lang and Victor Creed, and their target is the supreme heroes of Earth.

Because these are separate one-shots, the tone shifts from issue to issue, from dark space horror to a lighter street-level tale about a young photographer. The collection reprints Heroes Reborn: Hyperion & the Imperial Guard, Peter Parker, the Amazing Shutterbug, Magneto & the Mutant Force, Young Squadron and Siege Society, all from 2021.
