Story Featuring The Avengers

"In the first few months of their formation, the new team of Avengers proved to be more than equal to the tasks that befell them!"

Storyline

Enchantress uses the machine that Zemo used to create Wonder Man (see The Avengers #9) to turn one of Zemo's minions into Power Man. The two use tricks - and the Avengers' own internal discord - to make the Avengers appear dysfunctional. The City Council orders them to disband!
