Synopsis for "Twilight of the Gods!"

The wounded Avengers manage to bring Hercules back to his senses. Meanwhile, the other Avengers are doing a fine job keeping Zeus busy. Zeus inadvertently lashes out against his son and quickly realizes how his rage has blinded him. Zeus makes a public apology to the Avengers before the assembled Gods of Olympus and forbids any god to set foot on Earth. Prometheus then returns the Avengers to planet Earth.
