Synopsis
Hawkeye needs to set up a team after the brutal demise of Thunderbolt Ross, since nobody else will help, he gathers supervillains to help defeat Onslaught.

Plot
Thunderbolt Ross after the events of Endgame sets up his retirement, but when he enters his home, he finds a hypodermic needle, he uses it and turns into the Red Hulk. He turns around and sees he is completely somewhere else, and witnesses Onslaught, challenging him to a fight that he wins and kills Ross. Clint Barton is the first to hear about this, and tries getting the Avengers to help him, to no response. He reluctantly decides to gather a bunch of supervillains instead. Starting with Zemo, Clint convinces Okoye that he will only borrow him for a week, and that they can just take him back if not there by then. She reluctantly agrees, though suggests John Walker, who she assumed was watching Zemo while he was near him the whole time. He does so, finding him fighting Benjamin Poindexer, who escaped from prison. After Hawkeye intervenes, he becomes impressed with Poindexter's abilities, and decides to have them both involved. Yelena Belova is contacted by Clint not long after, who needs her help thinking she out of anyone else would be useful. Herman Shultz, free from prison along with Randy, who worked with him during their time with the Vulture, rob a bank. Randy gets killed by Power Man unintentionally, and takes down Shultz. Power Man is then confronted by Hawkeye, who invites him on the team, witnessing the whole fight knowing that he might be helpful. They offer Herman Scultz to join as well, denying at first, but then decides to when hearing they will just make him go back to prison. Mac Gargan, after escaping the same prison Herman did, goes to a bar far away and accidently gets the venom symbiote. He returns to New York City unknowingly and attacks everyone there in Times Square, though is stopped by Blizzard, with the help of Penance and Santana. All four is recruited by Hawkeye. Ava Starrs powers are finally stable, but is attacked and nearly killed by Fenris, though both get recruited into Hawkeyes team. To move the process along, he asks the team to invite more members in. Villains like Goliath, Beetle, Moonstone, Songbird, Fixer, and Jolt join in. After discussing the plan, the team goes on the journey to find and dispatch Onslaught. they find Onslaught's minions terrorising cities, deciding to deal with them first. Eventually they get caught up to Onslaughts base, and kills everyone but Onslaught, who kills Fixer. the team tries their best to kill him, eventually doing so but resulting in Ghost's death. Zemo agrees to go back to prison, but the rest who should be in prison escape, though Hawkeye doesnt seem to be worried. after they burry and hold funerals for Fixer and Ghost, they all split up and decide to move on with their lives.
