As darkness falls a strange fog rolls into New York City; red as blood and deadly to all who come into contact with it leaving each victims face burned and twisted into a gruesome scarlet death-mask. Stranger still are the legions of silent Hydra soldiers who appear like ghosts out of the mist attacking seemingly random civilian targets. Now the Big Apple was only the first target as around the globe the toxic phantoms appear at night to destroy all before them only for the raids to abruptly end each morning, both fog and troops vanishing as the sun rises. As the casualties rise can Earth’s Mightiest Heroes find the source of the attacks and the reason behind them? Has Johann Schmidt, the Red Skull, risen from the grave to plague humanity once more?
Set in the Marvel Cinema Universe as a sequel to Avengers Assemble this is a chance to play great Superhero action without having to worry about decades of Comic-Geek continuity.
