Avengers: Back to Basics is a 2018 short series, released between March and May of that year, written by Peter David, depicting Kamala Khan studying various moments in the history of the Avengers using a VR headset given to her by the Vision. The series consists of six issues grouped into three stories: In the first, Thor, the Hulk, and Iron Man must avert a plot by ancient undead beings to bring about Ragnarok. In the second, a plot by the Magus sows division among the modern Avengers, and then sees them cast into a post-apocalyptic future. In the third, a malfunction in the headset leaves Kamala stranded in the past. She joins the original Avengers, but soon finds herself dealing with much bigger problems than fighting villains. | |

Arbitrary Skepticism | |
| Avengers: Back to Basics (Comic Book) / int_13eea985 | comment |
Arbitrary Skepticism: Bruce calls out Thor on this when the latter claims that the undead warriors trying to bring about Ragnarok are a myth, since according to common wisdom so is Thor himself. | |

Cleavage Window | |
| Avengers: Back to Basics (Comic Book) / int_25fd37c3 | comment |
When the modern Avengers are magically placed back in the older uniforms, they have quite a bit to say about them — Captain America wonders why he ever thought that a cape was a good idea after tripping over the one in his Nomad outfit, and when Captain Marvel pokes fun at Black Panther's T-shaped Cleavage Window the latter asks what was the point of having an outfit that leaves her legs bare but her arms covered. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Avengers: Back to Basics (Comic Book) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The comic's central premise is a revisitation of several earlier points of Avengers history, including slapping the modern group in their outfits from the Eighties and sending the modern Ms. Marvel back in time to the era of the original team. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Avengers: Back to Basics (Comic Book) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: In the second issue, when Fenris takes on a humanoid form, he also manifests a breechcloth around his private parts and a mace to fight with. The Hulk wonders where exactly this stuff came from; Thor questions his priorities. When the modern Avengers are magically placed back in the older uniforms, they have quite a bit to say about them — Captain America wonders why he ever thought that a cape was a good idea after tripping over the one in his Nomad outfit, and when Captain Marvel pokes fun at Black Panther's T-shaped Cleavage Window the latter asks what was the point of having an outfit that leaves her legs bare but her arms covered. After the Maestro steps into the fight between the Magus and the Avengers, he complains about the former speaking almost entirely in exposition. When using Doom's time machine, Kamala notes that it also accounts for spatial travel in order to match the Earth's motion in space and muses that the titular device in The Time Machine should logically have left its creator stranded in deep space, before snapping herself out of this tangent. | |

| Avengers: Back to Basics (Comic Book) / int_2ec219ee | comment |
Butterfly of Doom: In the final arc, Kamala is extremely cautious about revealing any information about the future, including the simple fact that she is from the future, in order to avoid altering history and causing a potentially disastrous paradox. | |

| Avengers: Back to Basics (Comic Book) / int_334e48a1 | comment |
After the End: In the second story, the Magus brings himself and the Avengers into a future where Earth has been devastated by a global war, leaving only ruins. He states that every timeline he has ever seen ultimately leads to a future of this kind, and is amused by how the endless alien invasions that threatened Earth might as well not have bothered, since despite fighting off all threats humanity is destined to destroy itself anyway. | |

Time Machine: In the third story, Kamala returns to her time by using Doom's time machine. While using it, she notices that it also moves one in space as well as time and muses that time machines must need to do this to account for the motion of the Earth through space and not leave erstwhile time travelers stranded in space. | |

Grandfather Paradox: The central issue in the final issue is that events conspire so that Kamala's mother dies before her daughter can be born, making Kamala's existence a temporal paradox and dooming her to vanish once the date of her birth comes around. | |

For the Evulz: When Kamala tearfully asks Kang why he manipulated events to kill her mother's past self and thus doom Kamala to nonexistence, the latter callously replies that he did it simply because he felt like it. However, this is later subverted with the reveal that Kamala's future self will go on to become one of Kang's most formidable foes, and that Kang's actual motive had been to try to remove her from history to prevent this. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| Avengers: Back to Basics (Comic Book) / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: The central problem in the last issue is that Kamala's mother Muneeba is hit by a bus and killed before her daughter was ever conceived, giving the latter only a few years to live before the timeline reaches the point where she should have been born and she puffs out of existence. However, issue #9 of Ms. Marvel (2014)'s second run, which was published earlier, established that Muneeba was already pregnant with Kamala when she moved to the United States. The issue isn't entirely insurmountable, as it's still entirely possible for Muneeba to have been carrying her unborn daughter when she died, but a number of the story's statements are made explicitly incorrected by this. | |
