Synopsis for "Amber"

At long last, the Avengers arrive to defeat Thanos once and for all. They break through a barrier created around Earth and crash land in the desert. Heading to an Inhuman village, they find Abigail Brand and the Guardians of the Galaxy fighting Thanos and several members of the Black Order. Captain America goes for Thanos, only to be defeated and ordered to be further decimated by some of Thanos' soldiers. Even Hulk is reverted back into Bruce Banner by Proxima Midnight, after she used an attack that released the weight of a star on his back. Sustaining the weight required extreme effort from the Hulk, though his ever increasing strength made him gradually raise from his position. In Wakanda, Supergiant uses her control over Black Bolt to force him to activate one of the bombs the Illuminati hid in Wakanda's Necropolis[1] in order to destroy Earth and both herself and Thanos along with it. When the Illuminati arrive to save Black Bolt, Supergiant uses the Inhuman King's ability to defeat the heroes. Upon activating the bomb, Supergiant is faced by Maximus, who has the trigger. Maximus triggers the bomb, but also uses Lockjaw to transport Supergiant along with the bomb to a distant uninhabited planet where the bomb goes off, killing her.[2] Black Widow takes control of a ship and contacts the other teams, telling the Black Order to surrender. Iron Man heads over to where the other Avengers are. Thane tells them all that Thanos is still a threat. Hyperion is almost defeated by Corvus Glaive and Captain America gets shot by Proxima Midnight, but he also deflects a shot into Corvus Glaive, injuring him and letting Hyperion to kill him with his heat vision. Thanos regains his composure and defeats Thor and Captain Marvel. Before Thanos can kill all of the Avengers, Thane uses his powers to lock Thanos and Proxima Midnight inside an cube of an amber construct which left them in a state of "living death", and the Avengers win at last. Several weeks later, the heroes begin rebuilding. The Inhumans find a new home, and the new Avengers recruits do as well, though they remain on the team. The Super-Skrull becomes the king of the Skrull Empire, and the Illuminati seal Thanos and Proxima Midnight away without telling the Avengers.
