In this issue, Iron Man is meeting with Dr Strange, Professor Xavier, Dr Reed Richards, Black Bolt, Prince Namor, and the Black Panther to ask them to all band together to protect Earth rather than sticking to smaller groups and struggling to do what they can. Namor is out right from the start and the others aren't sold on the idea. Eventually Dr Reed brings up that they could have saved a lot of lives if they all met and discussed what they knew from time to time. They seem to be making progress but then Black Panther tells them all to walk away, that this is a bad idea. Years later, they all meet again to discuss the Act. Once again, it doesn't go as Iron Man had hoped...Iron Man also announces that he is planning to make Spider-Man the example for all...which would ruin Peter's life.
