Synopsis for "Vengeance Is Ours!"

After jumping over the edge last issue, the Avengers have very little time to rescue Captain America, but with quick thinking they manage it. The Swordsman is outraged and attacks them. During the battle he starts to vanish mysteriously. He awakes in the lair of the Mandarin. The Mandarin allies himself with the Swordsman, giving him a more powerful sword. He thn creates an image of Iron Man which he sends to the Avengers, vouching for the Swordsman's membership. Once in the Avengers HQ he plants bombs to destroy them. He later has a change of heart and tries to remove the bombs, but is caught by Captain America, who believes he is attaching them. After a brief battle the Swordsman escapes again.

Notes

• While there is a Captain America story in Tales of Suspense 69, it is a flashback tale from World War II.
• The Mandarin was last seen in Tales of Suspense 62 where he battled Iron Man.
• Captain America's mention of Iron Man's battle against the Titanium Man was occurring in Tales of Suspense 70.
• The Avengers are all seen next in Fantastic Four Annual 3, where they attend the wedding of Reed Richards and Sue Storm. They, and a number of New York's other super beings fight off an army of villains manipulated by Dr. Doom into crashing the wedding.
• The Mandarin also next appears in Fantastic Four Annual 3. He is one of the many villains manipulated by Dr. Doom into crashing the Richards' wedding.
• The Swordsman is next seen in Avengers 29 when he teams up with Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff) and Power Man/Erik Josten to battle the Avengers.
