Avengers Forever (Comic Book) | comment |
Avengers Forever is a twelve-issue comic book limited series of The Avengers published from December 1998 to November 1999 by Marvel Comics. The series was written by Kurt Busiek and Roger Stern and drawn by Carlos Pacheco and Jesus Merino. It has a massively complex plot, with a battle between Kang the Conqueror (a Conqueror from the Future) and Immortus (a Guardian of the Multiverse); actually, Immortus is the future self of Kang.Let's try to make it short. Rick Jones suffers a strange paralysis, and the Avengers send him to the Supreme Intelligence of the Kree (who's held "captive" at the Blue Area of the Moon), to see if he could heal him. Immortus tries to kill Rick Jones, but Kang intervenes on his behalf. Rick Jones, with the help of Libra, uses the "Destiny Force" once more, an all-powerful force he once wielded during The Kree/Skrull War, summons several Avengers from many points of time: Henry Pym and The Wasp (from the present), Yellowjacket (Henry Pym when he had a mental disorder; yes, he summoned the same man from 2 time periods), Captain America (right after the Secret Empire storyline, demoralized by it and on the verge of giving up the superhero thing), Hawkeye (right after the Kree-Skrull War) & Songbird and Captain Marvel (Genis-Vell) (from two separate future times). The fight moves to Chronopolis, Kang's stronghold: Immortus destroyed it and turned it into the "Forever Crystal", which allows him to change timelines or destroy them at will.The Avengers use Kang's time machine to escape into the timestream, where Immortus would not locate Rick. Not knowing what Immortus is up to, or why he wants to kill Jones, the Avengers explore 3 points of time, to no avail. Then, they visit Limbo, Immortus' stronghold, and take a Space Phantom captive. They then learn Immortus' motives: with the "Destiny Force", humanity would become a ruthless intergalactic empire. Immortus spent years manipulating human development to keep humanity confined to planet Earth, to keep the Time Keepers from destroying it, but Rick Jones' death was non-negotiable. Immortus then captures the Avengers and sends them to a trial.The Time Keepers decide that humanity is a menace and that they should destroy most of the timelines, leaving the bare minimum needed to guarantee their own existence. Reinforced by Kang, Rick, and the Supreme Intelligence, the Avengers follow the Time Keepers to the end of time, where they are finally destroyed.For the 2021 series, see here. | |

Continuity Porn: Kurt Busiek lets loose with his full knowledge of Avengers lore. The final battle in issues #11-12 features a clash between two armies of Avengers from across the Multiverse, with the appendix listing where they all come from in exhaustive detail. Characters from various sources like What If?, A-Next, Earth X, Spider-Man 2099 and even the The Avengers: United They Stand cartoon all make appearances. | |

Aborted Arc | |
Avengers Forever (Comic Book) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Both Songbird and Genis-Vell are from the near future, where they are (unlike in the present day) members of the Avengers. Since Kurt Busiek was writing the main Avengers book at the time, it seemed that he would eventually introduce Songbird and Genis into the Avengers roster there, with the present day catching up with their future. But this never happened, and none of the later Avengers writers have chosen to follow up on Busiek's foreshadowing either. (In 2015, 616-Songbird finally became a member of the New Avengers, but even though the writer of that book Al Ewing is very big on Continuity Porn, Songbird eventually left the team without Ewing having made any references to this story.) Genis is even harder to reconcile with Busiek's depiction here, as the following years saw him lose his connection to Rick Jones, change his superhero name to Photon (with the Captain Marvel title later passing to Carol Danvers, who has used it since 2012) and ultimately get Killed Off for Real during a Thunderbolts storyline, all without ever officially becoming an Avenger. | |

Noodle Incident: Genis comes from after a time when he'd prevented Ego from using Eon's corpse for a nefarious scheme. Exactly how does future Rick Jones end up losing an arm and wearing an outfit that includes Ghost Rider's jacket, Falcon's boots, Superman's cape, and Batman's utility belt? The world may never know. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
Avengers Forever (Comic Book) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The Avengers are ultimately victorious and the Time-Keepers are defeated. However, they're each sent back to their respective timelines with no memory of the incident, and in some cases, where they end up is quite dark. Captain America gets it especially bad, as not only is he still traumatized by having just witnessed Number One's suicide, but now he also has the lingering subconscious anguish of realizing he could have used the Forever Crystal to prevent it. In Black Panther's future, the vast majority of the human race has been wiped out, and Wakanda lies in ruins. However, the Martians have successfully been driven off the planet, Jocasta has safely given birth to her baby, and now the survivors can begin rebuilding their society. | |

Heel–Face Turn: The future version of Songbird has fully completed her reformation and become an official member of the Avengers. Giant-Man, who only knows her as a member of the Thunderbolts and the Masters of Evil during his time, initially doesn't trust her. Former Zodiac member Libra assists the heroes, claiming that he lost interest in crime as time went on and became more interested in studying the concept of balance. Iron Man's old nemesis Crimson Dynamo (or at least someone wearing his armor) is part of Black Panther's future Avengers team. The group also includes Thundra, who, while not strictly a villain, has battled various Marvel heroes and usually cares more about her own personal agenda than the greater good. | |

After the heroes win, Kang regains his zest for life and conquest and leaves to rebuild his empire. This will be followed up in The Kang Dynasty. After everyone else leaves, the Supreme Intelligence summons the Forever Crystal. This was followed up on in the Maximum Security event. | |

Reed Richards Is Useless: Deconstructed. Someone might wonder, with all the fancy technology available in the Marvel universe, which includes ships capable of going to other galaxies, why does Earth still has the overall technological level of the real world? Answer: Because Immortus, Guardian of the Multiverse, is arranging things to stay that way until mankind's technology does not outstrip its moral judgments. | |

Not So Above It All | |
Avengers Forever (Comic Book) / int_96b89043 | comment |
Not So Above It All: The Time-Keepers are not gods. They are beings, just Sufficiently Advanced Aliens with great technology, but just technology, which may be countered by other technology. Also for Kang. In his place of greatest strength, backed by all his armies, he fights against his most hated enemy, for the highest stakes he could conceive...and loses. | |

Death by Irony | |
Avengers Forever (Comic Book) / int_9bca83eb | comment |
Death by Irony: Averted. The Time-Keepers try to give one to Kang: as they can't kill him without creating a temporal paradox (he has to live on to become their servant Immortus, whom they had just killed), they seek to punish him and neutralize him as a threat by speeding up his transformation and turn him into Immortus right there. But they can't, Kang's will is just too strong and he remains Kang. Also for the Time-Keepers themselves. They're defeated by the indomitable human drive, the very thing they tried to destroy. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Black Panther spares Mourning Prey's children and allows them to continue living in the vibranium mine despite them being a bunch of bug-like monsters. The fact that Jocasta and her baby might die during childbirth is also treated with seriousness despite the two of them being machines. | |

Continuity Nod | |
Avengers Forever (Comic Book) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: Plenty. Not for nothing the collected edition comes with an appendix, because it needs it. Rick Jones starts the series paralyzed due to having been injured in Peter David's The Incredible Hulk run. The Supreme Intelligence is also now imprisoned by S.H.I.E.L.D. on the Blue Area of the Moon as a result of the then-recent Live Kree or Die crossover. While time-traveling, the team witness the Avengers' first run in with Immortus, which none of them remember because the events of it gave them Laser-Guided Amnesia. One of the glimpses the team gets of Immortus' machinations is him having some part to play in Major Victory meeting Vance Astrovik and diverging their timelines. Kang's flashbacks in issue #9 cover all the major events he's been through, including his run-in with Doctor Doom in Fantastic Four annual #2. Rama-Tut's weird behavior there is acknowledged as him playing to Doom's ego. His involvement in the events of Infinity War are explained as being sheer boredom. As an explanation of what he did while bored, Kang flashes back to the battle between Tempus and Alioth, seen at the end of The Terminatrix Objective. Kang broke their stalemate, setting Alioth on the TVA. It's also implied he killed Revelation, Ravonna's future counterpart from that series. In Limbo, Jan hears several soundbites from her and Hank's long and fraught history. Hawkeye sees statues of his past and future outfits. Songbird is tormented by the ghosts of friends and loved ones, including her crappy parents and her dead partner, Angar the Screamer. | |

Imposter Forgot One Detail: In the Old West, Hawkeye, Yellowjacket and Songbird meet with the Black Rider, Reno Jones, and Kid Cassidy, who talk on learning of their adventure from telegrams from the Two-Gun Kid, who'd they met earlier. They agree to pool resources, Hawkeye smiling as he shakes Cassidy's hand, noting how "I never thought I'd be meeting the real Kid Cassidy...especially considering by 1873, he was dead!" The Avengers swiftly subdue the "cowboys" who turn out to be the Space Phantoms. | |

Averted when Hank Pym hears it was Immortus, not Kang, in The Crossing and muses "that means Immortus caused my breakdowns." | |

Avengers Forever (Comic Book) / int_acf33d00 | comment |
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Immortus had to make the Avengers return to Earth immediately after "Operation: Galactic Storm", so he influenced the Avengers with xenophobia, so that they refused to stay among alien races. He miscalculated: this xenophobia led them to execute the Supreme Intelligence for destroying its own empire (long story). And worse: this would begin actions that laid the first steps of the Avengers Stellar Corps, the antecedent of the First Terran Empire...the very timeline that Immortus was instructed to prevent! | |

Retcon | |
Avengers Forever (Comic Book) / int_b2280b66 | comment |
Retcon: A lot of this story is basically damage control for The Crossing, revealing that it was Immortus and not Kang who was the main villain, that Iron Man was only under Immortus's control since the events of Operation: Galactic Storm (and that Iron Man leading half of the Avengers to kill the Kree Supreme Intelligence was an attempt to keep the Avengers out of intergalactic affairs that backfired) and not since the Avengers first fought Kang; the "Mantis" who worked with "Kang", Moonraker (who claimed to be Mantis's father, Libra) and many other of his minions were Space Phantoms; and that Kang didn't cause Hank Pym's breakdowns. Also retcons the idea that the Space Phantoms were aliens from a planet called Phantus. They're really anyone who gets stranded in Limbo long enough for their identity to erode away, turning them into identityless shapeshifters.note This has since been ret-retconned, and now the Space Phantoms are actually the Dire Wraiths that Rom Spaceknight exiled to Limbo. Rom's "Limbo" had previously been said to be a totally separate dimension that shared a name with Immortus's realm, but now they're officially one and the same. Well, Depending on the Writer, anyway. | |

Lost Aesop: Everything was set in motion because, in the future, humanity may become The Empire. As things go on, the Time Keepers become the villains of the story, then they die and everything is right again. But...what about those bad futures? What's preventing them from coming to pass? A mere lecture from Captain America and that's it? At least they could have used the Forever Crystal to erase the "Destiny Force" from the human race. Potentially justified as meddling with the timestream in that manner is exactly what the Avengers had just condemned the Time-Keepers for in the first place, and the odds are still in favor of the bad futures not coming to pass. | |

In Spite of a Nail: The Time-Keepers wanted to prevent the existence of the sons of the Scarlet Witch, but Immortus tried to do so without killing anyone. He arranged things that prompted her romance and marriage with The Vision, as he reasoned that she could not have any children if she was married to a machine. But "Immortus is not infallible, and destiny requires careful handling: it does not like to be thwarted". Using magic, the Scarlet Witch had sons anyway, so Immortus had to help Mephisto to vanish them from existence. | |

Composite Character | |
Avengers Forever (Comic Book) / int_e4965307 | comment |
Composite Character: The appendix notes that while Mourning Prey's insect children were already existing characters prior to this series, their depiction in issue #6 more closely resembles Jakarra, a Wakandan who was mutated by exposure to vibranium in Jack Kirby's Black Panther run. | |

Spotting the Thread | |
Avengers Forever (Comic Book) / int_ec0ce986 | comment |
Spotting the Thread: Hawkeye, Yellowjacket and Songbird have a run in with some Western heroes, and have a nice campfire with them. Then Hawkeye quite suddenly punches one of them, because thanks to his in-depth knowledge of the era, he knows they're dead by that point. It's actually a bunch of Space Phantoms. Before that, all three Avengers had realized there was no way someone in 1873 could afford to put so much information on Kang in telegrams. Shortly thereafter, Yellowjacket notes Songbird suddenly knows an awful lot of specific detail about how Kang's base works, and cold-cocks her. Because she's actually a Space Phantom. | |

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: In this case, Richard Nixon has been replaced by a Skrull. He had already been discovered, and the men in black were going to deal with him; but Immortus simply erases the whole timeline as a result. He couldn't risk humanity arming against enemies from the stars. | |

Expendable Alternate Universe: Averted. The casual destruction of alternate timelines is not just an undesirable thing, it's the very thing that the Avengers are fighting to prevent. Wasp is horrified when she witnesses the destruction of timeline the '50s Avengers come from. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Time-Keepers have very legitimate concerns about humanity becoming The Empire. Their solution? Exterminate countless timelines. A mass-murder that would leave Galactus or even the Anti-Monitor as mere amateurs. | |
