Avengers #44 - Jim Cheung 2013

Avengers #44, published by Marvel in 2001, features "Down Among the Dead Men!" The Avengers face simultaneous threats from Deviant and Atlantean forces. Warbird asserts her leadership by defeating a Deviant champion, becoming their new leader. Meanwhile, Thor and Firebird battle the Presence, whose radiation converts heroes like Captain America, Black Knight, and Quicksilver into his thralls. Thor ultimately triumphs by absorbing the Presence's power with Mjolnir, restoring his teammates. This issue is notable for Warbird's new role and Thor's decisive victory.
