Chapter 3 - Enter Doom: Mission 1 - Sacred Ground[]
Mini-Boss - Vapor[]
Reveal[]
Maria Hill:
|
Was that mist around those Servo Guards? Where did it come from? |
Luke Cage:
|
Not mist. That was Vapor. I saw her just for a second. |
| Maria Hill:
|
If she's controlling the robots, she's our primary target. |
| Luke Cage:
|
She's insubstantial, Maria. How am I supposed to punch fog in the mouth? |
Tony Stark:
|
You'll find a way, Cage. And the Agent here is nothing if not resourceful. |
| Luke Cage:
|
Vapor. This ought to be interesting. |
Start[]
| Knuckle up, Cage. Isn't that the term? | Vapor:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
It's one of them. |
| Can't wait for you to tell me more while you're swinging and missing. | Vapor:
|
Boss - Whiplash[]
Start[]
| Ah, the man whose skin nothing can cut. How do you get a flu shot? Ha! Ha! | Whiplash:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
There's a nose spray. You going to talk about Servo Guards or should I kick your ass first? |
| My whips will cut you open, Cage. Then your nose spray can vaccinate your guts! | Whiplash:
|

| Luke Cage:
|
One more surprised bad guy. One of these days they’ll learn. |
Nick Fury:
|
I hope they don’t. I prefer the bad guys dumb. |
| Tony Stark:
|
If they were all dumb, we'd have them all in the Vault and we could retire. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Maybe so. But until then, we keep kicking ass. |
Chapter 5 - Gods & Monsters: Mission 2 - Taking AIM[]
Mini-Boss - Boomerang[]
Reveal[]
| Luke Cage:
|
Nick, I'm looking at Boomerang right outside one of the science labs. |
| Nick Fury:
|
10-4. Hit him whenever you're ready.
If AIM is inside one of the labs, they'll be cooking up something nasty with Iso-8. |
| Maria Hill:
|
I don't think we need to tell you that's an undesirable outcome. |
Start[]
| Always wondered just how unbreakable your skin is, Cage. | Boomerang:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
Everybody's curious about that. Answer's always the same. |
| Let's find out. | Boomerang:
|
Complete[]
| Luke Cage:
|
Amazing how everyone always thinks they're gonna be the one to cut me.
Seems like they always run at about the same time, too. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Bring him in next time, Cage. Every dirtbag who runs is a dirtbag we need to fight again. |
| Luke Cage:
|
You think you can do better, you're welcome to try. |
Boss - Gray Gargoyle[]
Reveal[]
| Maria Hill:
|
Boomerang was protecting the approach to the lab for the Grey Gargoyle.
Cage, do you have a definite location? |
| Luke Cage:
|
I'm looking right at him. |
Start[]
| Cage, what an unexpected opportunity. Would you like to see what I am working on? | Grey Gargoyle:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
Nope. I'm here to work myself. |
| Ah. By which you mean, "work me over," ne c'est pas? | Grey Gargoyle:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
And they say the French don't understand English. |
| Alors! | Grey Gargoyle:
|
Complete[]
| Luke Cage:
|
C'est finis, baby. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Let's bring him in. Agent, if you've got the campus locked down, rendezvous back at the Helicarrier. |
Chapter 10 - Chaos Circle: Premium Mission: Der Rote Schadel Lebt Noch[]
Mini-Boss - Bulldozer/Thunderball[]
Reveal[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Bulldozer and Thunderball, together again. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Cage, you mind putting these two back where they belong? |
| Luke Cage:
|
Piece of cake. |
Start[]
| Luke Cage:
|
Are you Tweedledum and Tweedledee, or is that the other two? |
| Cage, the joint didn't wise you up at all. | Bulldozer:
|
| You still don't know when to walk away from a fight you can't win. | Thunderball:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
Never seen that fight yet. |
Repeat[]
| Luke Cage:
|
No joking this time. |
Complete[]
| Luke Cage:
|
Halfway there. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Get a move on. Magic readings are going crazy up here. |
| Tony Stark:
|
We'll have the location zeroed in soon. Be ready. |
Mini-Boss - Piledriver/Wrecker[]
Reveal[]
| Luke Cage:
|
Piledriver and the Wrecker himself. This makes two pair.
Against me, that's never a winning hand. |
Start[]
| Luke Cage:
|
Lemme guess. Mutt and Jeff. |
| Don't piss us off, Cage. | Piledriver:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
Dumb and Dumber? |
| That's it. Now we're mad. | Wrecker:
|
Repeat[]
| Luke Cage:
|
You want to see mad? I'm about to wrap that crowbar around your neck. |
Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
We should start a shuttle just to get the Wrecking Crew back to the Raft. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Hand ninjas are clustering in the area we think the magic is coming from. Stand by for confirmation. |
| Luke Cage:
|
I'll get a head start. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Agent, get freshened up. When the word comes, we'll need you moving tout suite. |
Boss - Elektra[]
Reveal[]
| Tony Stark:
|
We've pinpointed the location of the magic. It's a portal. |
| Luke Cage:
|
I'm there. Got a bead on Elektra. |
| Maria Hill:
|
The magic readings are peaking. It's now or never. |
| Luke Cage:
|
Sounds like it better be now. |
Start[]
| Cage, you and S.H.I.E.L.D. are always just a little too late. | Elektra:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
If you're still here, we're not too late.
By the way, you seen Doom? He still owes me money. |
| You've got bigger problems than uncollected debts, Cage.
Starting with me. |
Elektra:
|
Repeat[]
| Luke Cage:
|
You got a big problem, Elektra. Its name is me. |
Complete[]
| Luke Cage:
|
Elektra's down. But this portal is still open--
Sweet Christmas. |
| Nick Fury:
|
We didn't make it. The Red Skull lives. |
| Herrliche neue Welt! | Red Skull:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
Yeah, it's a new world. And you're not welcome in it. |
| Untermensch, you and all your kind will soon know what is meant by a Tausendjahriges Reich! | Red Skull:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
My kind? My kind!? Stand and fight, Schmidt, and you'll find out who's the Untermensch here. |
| Hahahaha! | Red Skull:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
He's gone. Portal's closed. |
| Nick Fury:
|
This changes everything. |
Chapter 11 - Mutant Mayhem: Mission 2 - HYDRA for Humans![]
Deploy[]
Complete[]
| Luke Cage:
|
I'm just going to say it: there is nothing more satisfying in the world than cracking Nazi skulls. |
Chapter 2 - Crazy Eights: Mission 1 - Antiquity[]
Deploy[]
Start[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Someone just called 911 from an antique store here. The Circle of 8 just tore the place apart and stole a number of items. |
| Luke Cage:
|
I'm close by. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Go get 'em, Cage. Recover what you can. |
Complete[]
| Luke Cage:
|
I've got a double handful of weird little trinkets. You want them back at the Helicarrier? |
| Tony Stark:
|
That would be great. Let's get a look at them. |
Chapter 2 - Crazy Eights: Mission 5 - Rehabilitation[]
Mini-Boss - Hydro-Man[]
Reveal[]
| Tony Stark:
|
Hydro-Man. He never could resist getting in on a crime spree. |
| Luke Cage:
|
I'm going after him. I never liked that guy and I especially don't like him uptown. |
Start[]
| Luke Cage:
|
What's the game? World coming to an end and all you can think of to do is steal stuff? |
| Hardly. A little purge to make room for the new boss. Which isn't you. | Hydro-Man:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
Never wanted to be the boss of anything but myself. But I don't think you're cut out for the job either. |
| It's not up to you, tough guy. | Hydro-Man:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
You see anyone else here about to kick your ass? I didn't think so. |
Complete[]
| Luke Cage:
|
Someone come clean up this mess. I've got better things to do. Starting with drying off. |
| Tony Stark:
|
You sure do. We'll squeegee up Hydro-Man. You hit the streets again and find out who's really running this show.
Still no Circle of 8 presence, but I have a hunch... |
| Luke Cage:
|
About what? |
| Tony Stark:
|
Just remembering what happened with Vision... watch out, Cage. |
Boss - The Hood[]
Reveal[]
| Luke Cage:
|
You wanted to know who's running this show? Try the Hood.
He's right here, big as life. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Hm. We haven't seen demons or Mindless Ones. You sure? |
| Luke Cage:
|
Yeah. I'm sure. And there might not be any demons, but there's all of a sudden a damn lot of Circle of 8... and they're chanting my name. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Weird. Like they did with Vision. |
Start[]
| Cage. Care to listen to a proposition? | The Hood:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
Is it a long one? |
| No, real simple. You've been led here to see if you are worthy of being one of the Eight. | The Hood:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
Bull. Nobody would leave a decision like that up to you. What are you trying to sucker me into? |
| A new world is coming. Those who join us will be kings in the chaos. You want a piece of the city for your own? You got it. | The Hood:
|
| Luke Cage:
|
I was born at night, Robbins, but it wasn't last night. Whatever your play is, you're not making me part of it. |
| Too bad. I thought I'd spare you the trouble of dying miserably, but it's your call. | The Hood:
|
Complete[]
| Luke Cage:
|
I'm guessing you heard that. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Loud and clear. The Hood invited you into the Circle of 8, contingent on you busting his ass to prove you're tough enough. |
| Luke Cage:
|
That part's taken care of. What's it mean? |
| Tony Stark:
|
He's lying. He is, after all, a demonically possessed thief and murderer. We've got nothing to connect him to the Circle of 8, or to strange things falling from the sky. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Agreed. The only thing we can tell from this is the Hood wants in on whatever the Circle of 8 is doing... and the Circle of 8 are holding some kind of audition. |
Agent Coulson:
|
For what, is the question. |
Mission Complete[]
| Tony Stark:
|
You want my opinion, I don't think anyone's running the Circle of 8. They're pure chaos. Pure anarchy. |
| Agent Coulson:
|
Maybe not. We don't know enough to say for sure. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Why'd the Hood want you, Cage? |
| Luke Cage:
|
He didn't say. There were some of the crazy cultists around, though, and you heard the chanting. |
| Agent Coulson:
|
Yes, it's interesting. Some of them are still doing it in the Helicarrier holding cells. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Interesting how? |
| Agent Coulson:
|
Every little bit of information is interesting. Mr. Stark will scoff, but I don't think it's a coincidence, the Circle of 8 appearing at the same time we start seeing Incursions. |
Chapter 3 - Crisis of Leadership: Mission 2 - Gates of Hell[]
Mini-Boss - Baron Mordo[]
Complete[]
Magik:
|
I couldn't keep hold of him. Strange, dammit, I could have used your help. |
Dr. Strange:
|
The Vishanti will determine when Mordo receives his justice. Believe me, I am as eager as anyone alive to see it happen. |
| Luke Cage:
|
Killer Shrike and Raza Longknife just turned up hanging upside down in a warehouse. Circle of 8 is at it again. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Or still. They're killing... how would you characterize their targets? |
| Maria Hill:
|
Not the cream of the villainous crop, that's for sure. Maybe the Circle of 8 can't take on stronger adversaries... at least not yet. |
| Luke Cage:
|
Yeah. The minor leaguers. So the next question is why? |
Chapter 6 - When Opportunity Knocks: Premium Mission: Fourth Wall[]
Heroic Battle[]
Start[]
| That nutcase Deadpool gave me an opening. I'm gonna go right through it, and Fisk won't be able to do a damn thing.
Stay out of my way, and I'll make it worth your while to take the day off. |
Hammerhead:
|
Iron Fist:
|
Not today. The Heroes for Hire are working for free. |
| Luke Cage:
|
Funny what happens when the world's about to end. |
| Chumps. I didn't know S.H.I.E.L.D. needed charity. Maybe I'll write them a check to them once I'm through with you. Get 'em, boys! | Hammerhead:
|
Complete[]
| Iron Fist:
|
One less Maggia problem to deal with. |
| Luke Cage:
|
Temporarily, at least. He never stays gone for long. |
| Agent Coulson:
|
Being a crime boss takes perseverance. And pinstripes. |
Chapter 7 - Crest of the Wave: Mission 3 - Savage[]
Mini-Boss - Nul[]
Reveal[]
Wolverine:
|
I found Cage. But the news isn't good. |
| øβëœ | Nul:
|
| Agent Coulson:
|
We're seeing it too, Wolverine. We didn't get here in time. You'll have to engage him directly. |
Start[]
| Wolverine:
|
They told me not to kill you. But looking at you, I think I ought to.
There's too many of you Worthy already. Let Odin's brother handle his own family problems. He doesn't need all you guys. Come on, Cage. |
| øβëœ | Nul:
|
| Wolverine:
|
Here goes nothin'. |
In-Fight[]

Special Operations - All Hallows: Mission 3 - Signed in Blood[]
Deploy[]
Start[]
| Maria Hill:
|
One of the demons is loose and headed up through Central Park with something small. Maybe a letter. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Cage, you're in the area already. Can you intercept and take it down while it's still isolated? |
| Luke Cage:
|
On my way. |
Complete[]
| Luke Cage:
|
It's down for good. Made kind of a mess. |
| Maria Hill:
|
What was it carrying? |
| Luke Cage:
|
I think it was headed out of town. You were right, it had a letter. Only thing written on the outside is Christ's Crown. |
| Maria Hill:
|
What is that? |
| Tony Stark:
|
I don't know. What's in the letter? |
| Luke Cage:
|
It's sealed. I didn't open it in case there was some kind of spell on it. |
| Tony Stark:
|
Good move. Let's get it to Strange so he can take a look. |
Special Operations - Ghosts of the Past: Mission 1 - Unknown Soldier[]
Deploy[]
Start[]
| Tony Stark:
|
We sure could use that National Guard armory as a staging area.
Cage, you've got the human touch and all those impressive muscles. Maybe you can go sweet-talk the officer in charge? |
| Luke Cage:
|
Sweet talk? |
| Tony Stark:
|
You know what I mean. |
| Luke Cage:
|
If you say so. It'll be nice to get off the flight deck for a change. I've seen too many Quinjets and not enough action lately. |
Complete[]
| Luke Cage:
|
It's all ours. |
| Tony Stark:
|
See, I knew you were the guy for the job. |
Special Operations - Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission 2 - Cosmic Encounter[]
Deploy[]
Start[]
| Nick Fury:
|
Cage, we're kicking off another diversionary operation. You're our man. Start going after any Circle of 8 in your vicinity. |
| Maria Hill:
|
Make it seem like you're defending a particular spot. |
| Luke Cage:
|
I am. It's called New York City. |
Complete[]
| Luke Cage:
|
I don't know who was diverted from what, but there was a damn lot of cultists in the area. |
| Nick Fury:
|
Sounds like it worked, then. |
