 Under Siege (Comic Book)
comment
Under Siege is a 1980s storyline of The Avengers, by Roger Stern and John Buscema, running through issues #274 to #277 (with issues #270 and 271 serving as a prologue).Zemo and the newest version of the Masters of Evil monitor the activities of the Avengers, and overrun the mansion at a moment it's empty. They easily subdue most of the Avengers that enter it, unaware of the problem, and eventually flee when the remaining Avengers regroup.This comic book has absolutely no relation with Under Siege of Steve Seagal, or with the comic book crossover Siege published in 2010.This storyline has gone down as one of the most notable Avengers arcs, as it has been adapted in two animated series, both The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Avengers Assemble.

comment
Alcohol-Induced Idiocy: Part of Zemo's plan is getting Hercules completely brickfaced before he strikes, courtesy of a Honey Trap. It works. While Cap and Wasp are able to intercept Herc before he can stumble into the mansion, his surly attitude means he takes offense to Wasp telling him what to do and rushes in anyway.

Superman Stays Out of Gotham: The Avengers do have a large amount of friends and reservists they could call upon, but for one reason or another can't. The Fantastic Four are off doing FF stuff, as are the Avengers West Coast. Scarlet Witch and Vision are on vacation. Hulk's imprisoned. And the Falcon... is off sick.

I Reject Your Reality: Helmut Zemo is convinced he's avenging his father's death and family dishonor despite the Avengers and Captain America telling him that his father was a Nazi war criminal, a culprit of its atrocities, that he got himself killed, and it was him who brought all the difficulties on himself and his family as consequences of his actions. Helmut is too insane and evil to accept this, of course.

Imposter Forgot One Detail: Zemo and Fixer use a voice-scrambler to pretend to be Wasp to try and lure Cap into the mansion. However, he reports on fighting Whirlwind over in his own title, and finds something odd when "Wasp" has no reaction, given her history with Whirlwind. This prompts him to visit Jan, and finds her just chilling at her New Jersey residence, with no idea what he's talking about.

The Chains of Commanding: Discussed by Wasp. When grieving over her team-mates being decommissioned and Avengers Mansion being occupied, Black Knight consoles her but Wasp points out that it's her responsibility that the Masters of Evil took over since it was her watch. She didn't plan out the defenses or anticipate the situation they were currently in and that makes it her responsibility as team leader.
