§ Synopsis1 = At the Avengers Compound, Captain America trains Wonder Man in aikido. As soon as their session ends, Beast announces himself, and he and Simon roughhouse as Cap and Scarlet Witch watch. In a downtown park, disgruntled inventor Stuart Clarke complains about the U.S. economy with a jobless friend. In front of the offices of Pactech, Clarke rants about the failure of his own company and presses a button on a device he claims will get him revenge. Elsewhere, Simon talks about his love life as Beast searches for an ethnic fusion restaurant. They stop at a fruit stand, and Beast entertains a young girl with his agility. At Pactech, a pair of technicians are stunned when an armored suit Clarke invented activates, breaks through a wall, and falls to the street below. Clarke dons the suit, resumes his identity as Rampage, and assaults the building. At a restaurant, Wonder Man and Beast overhear a young woman telling her friends about the incident, and the two spring into action. As they arrive on the scene, Beast recognizes Rampage and distracts him while Simon smashes falling debris. Beast leads Rampage to a nearby rooftop where Wonder Man decks him. Rampage retaliates by hurling a brick chimney at Beast’s head, knocking him out, then flies off. Simon tries to get Beast to wake up, but then Rampage returns backed by the Recession Raiders, a squad of men wearing armor identical to his.
