Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Marvel Comics late Summer Blockbuster and Crisis Crossover event for year 2013, written by Jonathan Hickman. Rather than one story, it actually tells two, happening at the same time, both being natural consequence of events of Hickman's run on The Avengers and New Avengers, as well as set up to keep fans of The Avengers movie hyped for future film appearances of a certain One-Scene Wonder. It continues some plot points dating back to Secret Invasion, and despite what the name might have suggested to you, has no connection to The Infinity Gauntlet saga outside of Thanos playing a major role.The Builders, a powerful race of god-like multidimensional beings, have invaded the Marvel Universe. The Avengers, in one of their strongest and largest incarnations, go to space and join forces with armies of alien empires against the threat before it reaches the Earth. To their surprise, the situation will force them into an uneasy alliance with many recent and former enemies, mainly the Skrulls, who, when they met last time, came within inches of taking over the Earth.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Speaking of Earth, without their strongest protectors, its defenses are weakened, making it easy prey for any invading forces. But in face of what's happening in space, who would bother attacking a lone planet when the invading Builders might bring about the death of everything?Thanos would.With the majority of the Avengers off-planet, it's up to Black Panther, Iron Man and Black Bolt to organize Earth's remaining superheroes against the Mad Titan and his new generals, called Cull Obsidian, but also known as The Black Order.The primary storyline was told across the six issue Infinity mini-series, The Avengers & New Avengers, all written by Hickman; and true to Crisis Crossover form, received tie-ins in various other titles, as well as being the impetus for the formation of a new Mighty Avengers team.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The Marvel Cinematic Universe Crisis Crossover film Avengers: Infinity War borrows from both Infinity and The Infinity Gauntlet. | |

Trailers Always Spoil: If you want to enjoy the story without early spoilers best stay away from Marvel interviews and solicitations. Before the event was even released, Marvel already revealed the Inhuman royalty will become divided and its Terrigen Mists would be released all over the world in the pages of Infinity, leading into the new Inhuman series. A contest Marvel organized where artists were invited to draw scenes from a Mighty Avengers script revealed that the new Ronin/Spider Hero is Blade. This of course happened a full eight issues ahead of the writer's original plan. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Infinity / Comicbook / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: The Space Knights are quickly obliterated to show how powerful the Builders are. Captain Universe, the most powerful of the current Avengers, knows exactly what is going on and the one with potentially enough pull to talk the Builders down gets put into a coma in the first issue by being on the planet the Builders just wiped out. In New Avengers #9, Corvus Glaive effortlessly curbstomps Wolverine. In New Avengers #8 the freaking Living Tribunal was found either completely messed up or dead by Iron Man and the Watcher on the moon. In Avengers #21, Annihilus and a revived Annihilation Wave are dispersed within a few pages by the Builders. In issue 6 of the main event, Thanos steamrolls all over the Avengers and is then taken out with a single gesture by his son Thane. | |

Boomerang Comeback: Thor uses Mjölnir's Precision-Guided Boomerang properties in an epic way during the Aggressive Negotiations with a Builder. Before the negotiation, Thor sends Mjolnir away to show he's unarmed. When the Builder mocks Thor supposed surrender, Thor simply summons Mjolnir back... through the Builder's chest. | |

Unholy Matrimony | |
| Infinity / Comicbook / int_5abc8612 | comment |
Unholy Matrimony: As hard as it is to believe, Corvus Glaive and Proxima Midnight are Happily Married, with their creator Johnathan Hickman confirming they married due to 'mutual affection', and not convenience. Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Corvus is skinny, with the face of a goblin-like monster, and unnaturally long limbs that end in claws, while Proxima is a Blue-Skinned Space Amazonian Statuesque Stunner. Also a case of Interspecies Romance. Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: According to their infoscreens in Marvel Future Fight, Proxima is a full head taller than Corvus, and nearly 3 times his weight. Battle Couple: Fought side-by-side against Hulk and then Captain America, Captain Marvel and Hyperion in the finale. Sickeningly Sweethearts: Proxima is quick to declare Corvus as the 'greatest general the Earth has ever seen', which prompts Corvus to wax poetically about how every night, he's still "defeated by her". A straightforward example is when they fought the Hulk, they immediately call each other by pet names like "my love" and "dear midnight". In Love with Your Carnage: Considering what they do and who they work for, safe to say this is probably the basis of their relationship. Corvus has been shown to indulge his wife's love for bloodshed by letting her get 'first blood' in any battle she wants. Even Evil Has Loved Ones: When Captain America deflects two of Proxima's own black light spears into Corvus, she is horrified when he becomes heavily injured, and Hyperion vaporizes him completely. She abandons the fight immediately to retrieve and protect her husbands' glaive (since he can resurrect from it). She is so distraught that she effectively shuts down and stops defending herself, and had to be saved by Thanos. Keep in mind, this is a character who impressed Thanos with her love of neverending slaughter, deciding that sitting down and holding onto her husband's weapon was more important than the fight she was STILL a part of at the time. Despite the fact she knows Corvus is immortal and that he could resurrect himself anyway. | |

Badass Normal: Ebony Maw, or so he appears to be.

He does, his powers are somewhere between Compelling Voice, Demonic Possession and Living Shadow. | |

The Reveal It eventually comes to light that Thanos' entire reason for attacking Earth is that he is searching for Thane, his half-Inhuman son. And then later it's revealed that secret tribes of Inhumans have lived across the Earth for years, and have presumably mated with humans. | |

Continuity Nod: Many fans were wondering how superhero community can organize Contest of Champions, in which superpowered teenagers from various schools are sent to an island to compete against each other, after the same scenario has been played to tragic results in Avengers Arena. First issue of The Hunt explained, by two small nods, that Infinity and Arena are happening at the same time, so nobody knows about Arcade's game yet. The Nova tie-in has nice one to The Thanos Imperative - apparently Thanos is still bitter about what took place between him and Richard Rider in Cancerverse that is, Rich punching him in the face and trapping him inside the dying dimension, so much he sends Kaldera after Sam Alexander only because he follows the legacy of Nova Corps. Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #3 takes place between issues #1 and #2 of Mighty Avengers, and features Spidey and Luke Cage's encounter with the first of the new hybrid Inhumans. Avengers #22 features Kl'rt questioning the Avengers' claims that the Peak, an orbital station above Earth, is as powerful as they say. Spider-Woman glibly notes that since Earth has a "persistent invasion problem," it was rebuilt to be more powerful. It's just a string of nods to Secret Invasion, as the original Peak was taken out of commission by the invading Skrull forces, whose leader had assumed the form of Spider-Woman. | |

Ugly Guy, Hot Wife | |
| Infinity / Comicbook / int_bf74d357 | comment |
Ugly Guy, Hot Wife: Corvus is skinny, with the face of a goblin-like monster, and unnaturally long limbs that end in claws, while Proxima is a Blue-Skinned Space Amazonian Statuesque Stunner. Also a case of Interspecies Romance. | |

Big "NO!" | |
| Infinity / Comicbook / int_c2cedc1c | comment |
Big "NO!": Black Bolt gives the biggest one he can to Thanos when he makes an offer in front of him concerning his son and the tributes. It vaporizes everyone in the room except Thanos, who survives after struggling with the blast. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome: New Avengers #9 showed the start of a fight between Black Panther and Black Dwarf; when it cuts back, a visibly-wounded Black Dwarf and the rest of their forces are retreating with no indication how the fight got to that point. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |
| Infinity / Comicbook / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Star-Lord practically screams this at the Illuminati in What If: Infinity: Guardians of the Galaxy when he learns that they secretly kept an imprisoned Thanos hidden on Earth. He considers the action so reckless and short-sighted that he begrudgingly agrees with his father that Earth should be locked out from the rest of the galaxy. | |

This prompts Black Bolt to set into action the last phase of his master plan to spread the Terrigen Mists over Earth, while the most devious of Thanos' generals becomes curious and decides to find out what Thanos really wants. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| Infinity / Comicbook / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: Spacesuits worn by Avengers leave their torsos completely exposed, covered only in, mostly skin-tight, costumes. This is the easiest way to slowly freeze to death in cosmic void, yet nothing happens to characters even after they walk outside the spaceships for several minutes. The Falcon is shown using his wings in space during the fight against the Builders. It's a cool visual, but wings wouldn't actually help in space, since there's no air or currents to fly on. | |
