Synopsis for "Threshold of Oblivion!"

Iron Man recruits Captain Marvel, the Black Panther, the Whizzer, Hercules, and the Black Widow, but his efforts to solve the mystery of their vanished comrades are greatly hampered by the Avengers' loss of their special privileges. Elsewhere, the man called Michael uses his godlike abilities to ascertain that none of the great powers of the universe are as yet 3ware of his existence, yet discovers that his own mate may be plotting to betray him. Back at the mansion, more Avengers vanish, until only Iron Man, Hawkeye, the Wasp, and Thor remain. From space, Major Astro is able to trace a radiation trail to a small orbitting craft, and when he teleports the foursome there, they come face-to-face with their old foe, the Collector.
