02x06 - The Mystery Mist

[bunniefuu]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

All right, show me what you got.

[CREAKING]

Pretty nice, huh?

Hm...

Oh, boy... ain't that a beautiful sight.

[CHUCKLES]

[SHIVERING]

Why is it so cold?

Yeah, right?

It feels like snow or something.

Don't be stupid.

At this time of year... huh?

What in the world is that?

[CHUCKLES] With this little beauty,

the next job will be
like taking candy from a baby.

-[SCREAM]
-Huh?

[THUD]

Who are you?

[LAUGHS]

[GASPS] Gil is that you?

[LAUGHING]

[YELLING]

WOMAN: We have some
late-breaking news.

A giant glacier suddenly appeared

in the warehouse district
just alongside the harbor.

That's troublesome.

The areas surrounding this incident

have also been struck by power outages.

No explanation...

It's just another
beautiful day in the city.

You don't think it could be
some ice cream truck

that turned over
and churned out a berg, do you?

Or maybe it's...

The work of some new villain?

Mm-hmm.

Let's go.

[THEME MUSIC]

IRON MAN: I'm telling you,

we could throw one heck
of a snow cone party with all that.

[LASERS BLASTING]

Would that make those clowns
the party guests?

Those clowns seem to have
some pretty powerful weaponry.

You no good traitor!

Heh... I'm taking what's rightfully mine.

Just can it!

You're done, you freak. Get him, boys!

[LASERS BLASTING]

[CHUCKLES]

There's no way!

Hi, there.

Avengers, assemble!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

I suggest you stay out of this.

It's none of your concern.

[ICE SHATTERING]

[GROANING]

Have some Wasp stain!

Huh?

[YELLS]

[GROANS]

Repulser!

Friday, what's up with the ice?

FRIDAY: Roughly two tons
of H2O and a large quantity

of methane ammonia have been
detected in the makeup of ice

in this area.

My name is Blizzard.

My ice can freeze the red
hot magma of a volcano.

Shield throw!

How cute.

Give him everything we've got!

Lightning strike!

Hulk smash!

[BOOM]

Time for you to cool off.

[GROANS]

Hulk, no!

Everyone stay back.

Let's regroup.

Yeah, you might want to
take cover from the storm.

FRIDAY: Damage to
thermoregulator detected.

Functionality is down to 10%.

[LAUGHING]

At this rate, I'd say this whole area

is about to go full ice age!

Coordinate our attacks.

He's getting away.

Let's go!

No, wait!

See ya.

[ICE SHATTERING]

[BOOM]

[GRUNTS]

I'm afraid we lost him.

MAN: Somebody!

-Hm?
-MAN: Help me!

Ah! I'm going numb.

Get me out of this thing!

THOR: It appears they were attacked

in the middle of brokering
an ill*gal arms trade.

Huh, I guess that means these guys
can tell us all about what happened.

[PAINED YELL]

Wait, what?

You let the ice dude get away?

See!

This is what happens
when you guys take off on your own

and leave us behind.

HULK: It wouldn't have mattered.

He'd still have gotten away.

You're just saying that 'cause you failed.

Watch it!

We just need to be
better prepared next time.

We shouldn't have underestimated him.

Hm.

So who is this charmer anyway?

[SIGHS] Well, he calls himself Blizzard,

but it seems his real name is Donald Gill.

He's a former member
of the g*ng he fought at the warehouse.

So he deserted them?

Yeah, something like that.

So his g*ng betrayed him and, after that,

it looks like he went into hiding.

He holds a grudge against
his former comrades.

Then why not just let him take revenge?

They can all destroy each other,
save us the trouble.

I wish it was that simple.

TONY: The point that I think
you're missing about all this

is how did an ordinary man

mysteriously gain
the ability to summon and manipulate

snow and ice like that.

I asked their boss the same thing.

Yeah, he came in here bragging about

how some weird mist gave him
superpowers or something.

Next thing I know,
he's running amok in that costume.

-[SIGHS]
-A weird mist?

Makoto, do you remember
running into that girl

who was going around
pretending to be Captain Marvel?

Yeah.

Kamala isn't pretending to be anybody.

She's Miss Marvel,
and she's a true superhero.

My mistake.

But from what I recall,
she gained her power

after being imbued with a mist.

Hm.

[GLASS SHATTERING]

[CAR STARTING]

Too easy.

MISS MARVEL:
Stealing cars is against the law!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Whoa... who is that?

Anyone who disrupts the peace in this city
will have to answer to me!

Who are you?

[YELPS] How rude!

Are you trying to tell me
you don't know me by my costume?

The name's Miss Marvel.

I suggest you remember it.

-Never heard of ya!
-[TIRES SCREECHING]

[SCOFFS]

[GASPS]

-Oh, no!
-Look out!

Oh...

[BOOM]

Oh, my gosh. Are you all right?

I'm OK.

Thanks for your help.

[GASPS] My present for my niece!

Oh, let me help you.

[GASPS] Get back here!

See you later, Miss Marvel!

Uh...

[GIGGLES]

You're in my way, kid. Move!

[GRUNTS]

Why, you little!

[GASPS]

Ow.

You girls are freaks.

[GIGGLES]

There.

Thank you so much.

It's good to see you, Chloe.

Yeah, you too, Kamala...

I mean, Miss Marvel.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

CHLOE: So how have you been?
KAMALA: Couldn't be better.

I've kept up with news
about you, Charade.

CHLOE: [LAUGHS] Just call me Chloe.

Seems like you're making a name

for yourself the same way the Avengers
did after they saved the world.

Yeah, well...

Hm.

I'm just so proud of you.

My friend's a hero, and she's crushing it.

Hey, come on!

You haven't done so bad yourself.

Yeah. I try to do what I can,
whenever I can,

though I've still got a way to go.

So how are your parents
handling you being a superhero?

Are you kidding me?

My parents don't know.

If I told them I'm a superhero,

they'd ground me till the end of time.

[GIGGLES] So you're
a superhero until your curfew?

Yeah, pretty much.

Just a few hours in the afternoon.

The rest of the time,
I just go to school like everyone else.

Still, I kind of envy you.

Being a student doesn't sound so bad.

So what brings you
to my neighborhood?

Well, I...

I wanted to ask you about something.

When you got your powers,

you told me it was after
you got caught in some kind of mist.

Mm-hmm.

I was enveloped in mist
and lost consciousness.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

When I came to, I felt this
strange power surge inside me.

[CRACKING]

What power!

I feel like Captain Marvel.

-Tell me...
-Mm-hmm?

Did you, like, ever, well...

did you ever feel like
using your new-found powers

to get back at people
who've hurt you or were mean to you?

To teach them a lesson?

Huh?

Wow.

Something like that
never even crossed my mind.

-[LAUGHING]
-Really?

That's not what I'm about at all.

I told you I wanted
to use this power to serve and protect

the people of the city,
to stand up and fight for others

just like Captain Marvel.

I know it sounds corny,
but that's what I wanted.

I figured.

Just making sure.

Making sure?

About what?

Never mind.

Forget about it.

Say, how would you like
to visit Avengers Tower?

Huh? You're kidding, right?

You would really take me there?

That would be amazing!

Oh, my gosh! Yes, thank you!

You're the absolute best.

Wait... I have that stupid curfew.

Whoa, easy! Calm down.

It's still early,
and I'll be sure to get you home before.

Yes, I'm totally in.

So do we go now?

Do the Avengers know we're coming?

We're ready to go, Visco.

VISCO: Roger that.

Huh?

[WIND BLOWING]

[WORRIED YELL]

We'll get you there in style

VISCO: Climb aboard
and we'll be on our way!

KAMALA: Whoa!

Captain America!

Thor!

Wasp!

Hulk!

Iron Man!

You're all here in the flesh.

I'm so honored to meet you.

The honor is all ours, Miss Marvel.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Ah, um, so anyway,
is Captain Marvel around?

I'd really love to say hello.

Uh, unfortunately,
she's away on a mission right now.

That's OK. No big deal.

Kamala, are you OK?

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

No... I'm so sorry!

That was way beyond totally rude of me.

Thanks to you being around,

we know New Jersey's protected.

You're doing great.

[GASPS] Oh, don't say that!

There's still so much I need to learn,

like, you know, having a proper costume.

I'm sure there's some sort
of superhero secret code or something.

All of you and Captain Marvel

just seem to have it so together,
you know?

And I... I can't even
dress myself properly.

HULK: Don't worry about
what you're wearing.

-Huh?
-[DINGING]

That's not important.

What really matters is
what is in your heart

while you're fighting to preserve justice.

See what I mean?

Your words of wisdom are so inspiring.

I have to write them down.

Just relax. Take it easy.

So what would you like me to autograph?

Uh... oh, nothing.

My autograph from Captain Marvel
is my greatest treasure.

I don't really need anything else.
Thank you though.

[LAUGHING]

Suit yourself.

She totally shut you down, dude.

[SIGHS]

[GROANS]

Welcome. Make yourself at home.

Oh... uh, there's some dust on you.

Allow me.

-Hm.
-Uh, thanks.

I... I didn't realize that.

It's been a pretty long time, huh?

Hm.

Hang on. Now don't tell me.

Adi, you are called Codec.

And Makoto, you're known
as Hurricane, right?

Yep.

So who's that?

Ah, his name is Bruno.

He's also a member of the Future Avengers,

and his code name is Twister.

Oh, I didn't know
you guys took on a newbie.

Does he just kind of work
behind the scenes or...

Who is this girl anyway?

Easy, Bruno!

[BEEPING]

FRIDAY: Beginning genetic analysis.

BRUNO: It's not important
that I stand out.

Your face stands out though.

Like I said, who is this girl?

I'm Kamala.

She's Miss Marvel.

BRUNO: Never heard of her.

KAMALA: Wait, what?
OK, that's just really rude.

-You're being rude.
-BRUNO: I'm not...

Looks like Kamala's
going to give Bruno a run for his money.

He's in over his head.

KAMALA: Whatever, I'm done with you.

-[BEEPING]
-[BOTH] Huh?

We've got another glacier.

This one near a waste factory.

It must be Blizzard.

Move out.

Don't forget your back up this time.

Come on!

-Let's go.
-Uh, yeah. Me too.

Uh, wait, Kamala...
what about your curfew?

[GASPS] Oh, no!

How'd it get late so fast?

I'm the lamest superhero ever.

This is so embarrassing.

Hey, don't be embarrassed.

It is a school night, after all.

Chloe, see her home, would you?

ADI: Catch you on the next one, Kamala!
BRUNO: See ya!

I don't have a curfew.

Bye.

This is so not cool.

Totally not cool.

Keeping promises
to your family is important.

It's all part of being a hero.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

MAN: Keep sh**ting!

Don't let up!

What the heck?

Where'd he get these powers?

Maybe next time, you'll think twice

before double crossing me.

[LAUGHING]

[ICE SHATTERING]

[YELLS]

IRON MAN: Freeze, Blizzard!

See what I did there?

Well, look who it is.

You just don't know when to quit.

Avengers, assemble!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[YELLING]

Let's try this again.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Mjolnir throw!

Repulser!

[ICE SHATTERING]

[LAUGHING]

Now's our chance! Let's go.

HURRICANE: Hey, guys.
Leaving so soon?

Heh, I don't think so.

Move it!

BRUNO: Wing dagger!

I'm out of here.

Aerial act number one...

go, impact!

[BOOM]

Technical act!

Sorry. This exit's closed.

[YELLS]

Where is he?

There.

Oh, no, you don't.

Have at thee!

I expected more
from the Earth's mightiest heroes.

Is he mocking us?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

I've got you.

Yeah, right.

Not even close.

Are they running?

Go get him, Cap!

[YELLS]

[ICE SHATTERING]

[BOOM]

Ha!

Let's see how you handle this.

[STARTLED YELLS]

[SHOUTING]

[ICE SHATTERING]

[BOOM]

Heads up for it!

-We better leave these two to it!
-Oh, don't!

[PANICKED YELLING]

Yah!

[ICE SHATTERING]

What's the problem?

Come and get me, Avengers...

that is, if you can break through.

[LAUGHING]

What is that thing?

And I told him to hold the ice.

Hulk, wait a second.

You got frozen the last time
you tried to ram through ice.

[YELLS]

Heh, they never learn.

[BANG]

It's no use.

My ice is impenetrable.

Whatever the size, it's just ice.

All right, Avengers,
everyone focus on the center.

Unibeam!

Lightning strike!

Don't let up!

Let's see if this makes a dent.

Now, Hulk!

[GROANS] [YELLS]

Hulk smash!

[ICE SHATTERING]

What? There's no way!

Oh, but there is a way, snow cone.

Ice becomes brittle
once it's cracked.

Enough!

I'll freeze each and every one of you.

Hurricane? You're up.

Now! Aerial act 10...

Bind attack!

Next up, aerial act 11...

Tornado!

[YELL]

Uh, Mr. Blizzard, this is the front desk.

Is your room cool enough for you?

I can't believe
you used my ice against me!

Yeah, wasn't really that hard.

-BLIZZARD: You'll pay!
-Give it up, Blizzard.

It's over.

Now that we have your attention,

I'd like for you to tell me
a little story about that mist

that gave you your power.

Hm?

That's not good.

Brace yourselves!

[BOOM]

Who is that?

Well, well... what do we have here?

It's been a long time, Avengers...

quite long according to my calculations.

It's so good to see you.

You guys know this clown?

Is that...

MODOK: Of course, you do!

How could anyone forget this face?

It's MODOK.

[YELLS] According to my calculations,

I was supposed to say my name.
Now you've ruined it!

Curse you!

So you're the one who's behind the mist?

Silence!

At this moment, I really don't have

time to humor you
with pointless explanations,

Iron Man.

MODOK m*ssile!

-Scatter!
-[BOOM]

IRON MAN: He got away again?

It looks like MODOK
came to Blizzard's rescue.

Do you think that means
AIM is behind this business?

What's AIM?

Advanced Idea Mechanics,
also known as AIM,

is an organization of mad scientists

like that half-pint MODOK.

It's possible that mist could
have been developed by them.

Well, if you're right, just what
are they planning to do this time?

[SIGHS]

CHLOE: I really appreciate
you and your parents

having me over for dinner.

KAMALA: Not at all.
My parents were happy to have you.

You keep telling me
about how strict they are,

but they seem cool to me.

As long as I keep up my grades
and I'm home by curfew,

they're pretty cool.

I totally get it.

Speaking of grades,
I guess you have school tomorrow, right?

Yeah. Don't remind me.

So lucky!

I wish I could go to school too.

KAMALA: Huh? Seriously?

I have a quiz tomorrow.
Do you want to take it in my place?

CHLOE: I don't think
either of us want that.

[LAUGHING]

[BEEPING]

TONY: You're saying
Kamala's genes have mutated?

Yes, and rather aggressively.

I see.

So whatever's in that mist
must be what triggered these mutations.

Hm.

Then that means Kamala...

-MAKOTO: What about Kamala?
-Hm?

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

How long have you been standing there?

What's going on, Tony?

From a biological perspective,

it would appear that Kamala
is no longer a human being.

Let's keep that between us for now.

What? Even from Chloe?

Mm-hmm.

Especially her.

We'll have her stay with Kamala
until we know more.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Ay, hey, hey.

Future Avengers

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

ANNOUNCER: MODOK... boy, has he got

a big head on his shoulders.

And it's filled with
all sorts of evil and diabolical thoughts.

He's one cold, calculated villain.

Is he the one spreading the mist around

that's changing all these people?

The appearance of countless
new superhumans

drives Kamala into a corner.

Hey, Chloe!

This is not the time to take typical
school life on a test drive!

Next time on Marvel Future Avengers,
"The Hunt For AIM."

Catch the future, Avengers!
