Devil's Reign

Mayor Wilson Fisk discovers physical evidence proving that he once knew Daredevil's true identity, noticing gaps in his own memory after the fact.

[1] The remaining heroes gather at Avengers Mansion, where Tony Stark announces he plans to run for mayor opposite Fisk.

Doc Ock then uses Reed Richards's inter-dimensional gateway to summon alternate-universe Octopus versions of Hulk, Ghost Rider, and Wolverine, considering his plans "Superior".

They are intercepted by Doctor Octopus and his alternate selves; Stark is revealed to be the Chameleon in disguise and in league with Doc Ock while Foggy Nelson is attacked in his office by Fisk's men.

[3] Two weeks later, Doctor Octopus has released thousands of Octobot drones in order to enforce Mayor Wilson Fisk's zero-tolerance policy, effectively wiping out all crime in the city.

While Spider-Man works on reverse-engineering neural disruptors in order to protect the heroes from the Purple Man, Joseph tells them that their only option to stop him is to kill him.

[5] McDuffie informs Daredevil of "Matt's" death, causing him to leave the main battle and hunt down Fisk, who is confronted by Elektra.

Fisk is taken to the Stromwyns, choosing to refuse their offer and fighting through their robots, leaving the role of Kingpin to his son, Butch Pharris.

After recovering, Elektra finds a dart in one of the tires, puts on her mask, and goes hunting for what appears to be Aka only to avoid a trap.

He mentions that he has gone through an evolution after his tenure as Superior Spider-Man and that he plans to span the Multiverse and establish a Council of Ocks from every version of Doctor Octopus he can find.

Meanwhile, Supreme Octopus shares some of his history with Hulk of Earth-8816, Ghost Rider of Earth-1666, and Wolverine of Earth-9712 claiming that an army of Ocks is both a success and a failure.

When the rest of the Superior Four ask what agreement it is talking about, Doctor Octopus states that it wants to euthanized naturally so that it would sever the paradoxes.

[13] Gerry figures out that the Jessica Drew at the door isn't her real mother as Linda Carter also asks about the cast that she is supposed to be wearing.

She wants to give Spider-Woman a break before she can attack with her group called the Anti-Arach9 that also consists of Aeturnum, Rose Roché, and the Los Espadas Gemelas De Toledo.

Just then, Thunderbolts members Agony, Electro II, Rhino, Taskmaster, and Whiplash arrive where they defeat the Humanity Liberation Front.

The Thunderbolts raid a warehouse where some of its members are hiding and badly defeat them as the culprit claims that the law has gone soft back when J. Jonah Jameson was the Mayor of New York City.

Agent and Agony encounter the culprit called Conviction who claimed that Mayor Fisk kept her trapped in Ravencroft trying to reproduce the Purple Children's power.

[17] In the past, Kingpin has killed some men in the shower as he instructs James Wesley to send Elektra as the person he wants dead is out for Emma Frost.

Cyclops in his Captain Krakoa attire, Jean Grey, Rogue, Synch, and Wolverine prepare to head to give up the Seneca Gardens and face the music.

As Rogue asks Rhino what Gambit would think of him working for Mayor Fisk, Jean Grey stops Polaris from retaliating against Electro II as Taskmaster offends Wolverine by calling her a pretender.

Emma Frost then takes the time to recap on using an illusion of Invisible Woman, having a drink with Tony Stark, sending a telepathic message to She-Hulk that her client is guilty, and a visit to Nick Fury.

After Emma Frost releases the dogs and makes her way underground, Union Jack tells the police officers that he knows where she is heading.

After learning from Emma Frost on why she cannot mind-wipe Mayor Wilson Fisk, Isabelle mentioned that Elektra trained her in some combat skills before disappearing.

At the offices of Harris, Oppenheim & Gallagher, Emma is informed that she still has arrest warrants in countries that do not recognize the Krakoa amnesty deal until further notice.

As Gracie Mansion is partially-collapsed, James Wesley returns with the NYPD and finds Mayor Fisk near the rubble stating that he had a wonderful dream.

At Ravencroft, it is discovered that a patient is not in their cell as a guard tells his co-worker that the inmate is an ex-Hydra assassin/terrorist with a four digit count and nearly turned Taipei into glass before his' defeat.

[22] At the police department, Marcus Momplaiser of Beyond Corporation has been informed by Commissioner Kyle that Spider-Man has been sprung from their custody by Human Torch and Thing.

After being sprung out by Human Torch and Thing, Ben Reilly as Spider-Man is ambushed by a Thunderbolts agent who places a power dampener collar on him in order to easily transport him to the Myrmidon.

[23] At the Myrmidon, 8-Ball is in his cell mentioning on how he has fought Moon Knight, She-Hulk, Sleepwalker, and Spider-Man and also recalls how he died and was revived by Hood.

Daredevil explains that he wants the world to think that Matt Murdock is dead and that Mike never had many friends growing up; he and Elektra are going to use that opportunity destroy the Hand.
