AVENGERS: THE INITIATIVE #5
Written by DAN SLOTT
Penciled by STEFANO CASELLI
Cover by JIM CHEUNG
GREEN ZONE Pt.2 of 2
“Secret Weapons”
The Initiative program denies all knowledge of a special Black Ops Team. There is no pardon on file for the super-villain known as the Constrictor. No record of any dealings with the Vietnamese national codenamed Bengal. Tony Stark cannot recall what became of his designs for the Iron Spider armor. And, most importantly, the Superhuman Armed Forces wishes to dispell all rumors of a 199th mutant. We repeat, there is no Mutant Zero. Mutant Zero does NOT exist. That is all.

Written by FRED VAN LENTE
Pencils and Cover by GURIHIRU
Stop! Read this! Have you seen these missing children? JACK POWER, brown hair, brown eyes, can expand his density into a cloudy mass or shrink down to a fraction of his size, also answers to “MASS MASTER.” He is probably with FRANKLIN RICHARDS, blond hair, blue eyes, wearing a t-shirt with a “4” on it, also answers to “SON OF A GENIUS.” They’ve run away from home together to make careers as solo heroes, and Power Pack has to track them down before KRAVEN THE HUNTER does!
