They call themselves The Avengers and plan to stop Yellow Claw from assassinating President Dwight D. Eisenhower
Instead of “Avengers Assemble!” they shout “Go Avengers Go!”
Yellow Claw’s cronies capture and abduct Eisenhower after which Claw demands a ransom of sparing the president’s life for control of the U.S
Suwan, Jimmy’s lover and Yellow Claw’s niece, tips off the Avengers and crash Claw’s hideout as he’s about to kill Jimmy Woo
The Avengers beat Claw’s cronies, Woo is freed, and the president is rescued. To their bewilderment he decided to disband the team due to paranoid fears of the American people during this time. Marvel Boy agrees
