The Earth is facing another threat after the invasion of the shape-shifting Skrulls and the political schemes from Captain America in Brave New World. With the Avengers no longer in existence, the Thunderbolts appear to be humanity’s last hope in the face of the looming danger posed by an entity known as the Void. The team, consisting of Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes (Winter Soldier), Red Guardian, John Walker, Taskmaster, and Ghost, may not possess superpowers, but they are willing to fight to save the world.
