Plot
The movie begins with S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Simon Williams being caught in the middle of a burst of Gamma Radiation while saving Samuel Sterns. Simon then reports feeling strange afterwards. The scene then cuts to a warehouse. Dangerous criminal known as Carl "Crusher" Creel has broken into the warehouse to steal secret S.H.I.E.L.D. equipment with his crew. However, before he can steal the equipment, two of his men are shot down by an unknown source. The source of the shootings were Natasha Romanoff, also known as Agent Black Widow, and Clint Barton, also known as Agent Hawkeye. Creel's crew is quickly defeated, and the S.H.I.E.L.D. tech is collected, but Creel tries to escape on his truck. Agent Simon Williams is contacted and he gives chase to Creel. During the chase, Simon all of a sudden fires purple energy from his hands, and they crash. Creel gets away, and Simon is left in confusion. Later, Simon is called to talk to Director Nick Fury in the S.H.I.E.L.D. base. Fury questions Simon about the strange purple energy from earlier, but both of the are unaware of what it is. Meanwhile, Creel escaped to his house where he meets up with his wife, Mary MacPherran, who is bound by S.H.I.E.L.D. technology.

At his house, Simon Williams is trying to live normally. However, when he tries to stop a robber from stealing money from a store, the same purple energy is fired out at him. Fortunately, the blast misses, and the robber gives up the money. After running back to his house, Simon calls Tony Stark for help in his strange bursts of energy. Later, Tony flies over in his new suit to Simon's house. After running some scans on him, Tony recognizes it as a reaction of Gamma Radiation. Simon recalls being engulfed by Gamma Radiation along with Samuel Sterns. Simon asks for a cure for his condition, but Stark doesn't have one, and flies away in his suit, leaving Simon distraught. Meanwhile, Creel continues using the tools he has to remove the S.H.IE.L.D. binding off of MacPherran, however, when he touches the S.H.I.E.L.D. tech, he realized that his hand briefly turns metallic. His hand returns to flesh, leaving Creel and MacPherran confused. The next day, Creel is testing his power on other types of metal, which includes Titanium, Adamantium, and Vibranium. After this, Creel gathers his crew for their next heist on S.H.I.E.L.D.

Meanwhile, Simon calls both Romanoff and Barton. They meet up at a bar, and Simon tells them both about the bursts of energy he's experiencing, leaving them both confused. To prove himself, Simon makes his hands glow purple which amazed them both. His hands melt the cup he was drinking with when he tries to touch it. Simon deactivates his powers, but before they could finish their discussion, they are called by Nick Fury to the base. Simon, Romanoff, and Barton arrive at the S.H.I.E.L.D. base, and Nick Fury alongside agent Maria Hill approach them. Before he could tell them what he called them for, Creel and his gang attack them. A battle ensues, and Creel's men take some S.H.I.E.L.D. weapons and loads them into a chopper. Simon leaves Romanoff and Barton to battle Creel's men, while he jumps on the chopper for Creel. His many attempts the get Creel out of the chopper fail, and it takes off. During the battle, Simon fires energy from his hands, which Creel deflects by absorbing the S.H.I.E.L.D. material, much to Simon's confusion. Creel then throws Simon out of the chopper. Before he hits the ground, Simon finds himself floating above the ground, before falling a getting knocked out. Creel escapes with the S.H.I.E.L.D. weapons and returns back to MacPherran. However, he wasn't going to use the S.H.I.E.L.D. weapons to free her. Instead, he used his absorbing powers to fuse the weapons into his body. Coming to the conclusion that his power comes from his blood, he had his own blood injected into MacPherran. After she was injected by Creel's blood, MacPherran shattered to S.H.I.E.L.D. material binding her with her newfound super strength.

Simon wakes up after being knocked out, confused as to what happened. He is questioned by Fury and Hill as to what's happening to him. He recalls Stark telling him that his blood is infused with Gamma Radiation, which was the cause for his purple energy blasts and his recent ability to fly. They get an alert that the city is under attack by Creel and the newly mutated MacPherran, Fury calls Romanoff and Barton to deal with them and tells Simon to stay put until he knows how to use his powers correctly. Although he complains, Simon eventually agrees to it. Before they leave to confront the two super-powered being, Romanoff is armed with her two pistols, while Barton equips himself with his compound bow. Creel and MacPherran are attacking the city in search for S.H.I.E.L.D. and before they can find the base, they are attacked by Romanoff and Barton and a battle ensues. Simon is watching from the base, and Romanoff and Barton are quickly overpowered by the two, although they weren't easy to take down. After seeing this, Simon wen't behind Fury's back to help with the battle, which Fury wasn't happy about. Creel and MacPherran were about to kill Barton and Romanoff, until Simon crashed down in front of them, much to their amazement. Creel and MacPherran think nothing about it, and Creel uses the weapons he fused to his body to shoot at Simon. However, the shots do nothing to Simon and he begins to power-up, his eyes visibly turn red, and he encases his body in the purple energy he fires. A battle ensues between Creel, MacPherran and Romanoff, Barton, and Simon, who is dubbed "the Wonder Man". During the ensuing battle, Creel and MacPherran grab hold of Simon, who takes off into the sky. While he was flying, Creel and MacPherran continue attacking and shooting Simon, who encases himself in purple energy once more. But the heat and radiation from the energy causes Creel and MacPherran's bodies to melt, much to Simon's horror. After the battle, Simon lands and is confronted by Fury, who, while upset, is impressed about how Simon mastered his powers.

After the credits Fury, Hill, and Coulson are talking about a discovery they found in the arctic. The discovery is revealed to be a frozen Captain America.
