Marvel villains had destroyed the superheroes, and signs of that were everywhere. Thor's hammer Mjonir laid on a crater on the ground, Captain America's blood-stained shield was hung up on Doom Tower, and Iron Man's helmet has been stolen by a petty thief. Villains such as Crossbones and the Wrecking Crew roamed the streets.
The super heroes have all been defeated. Now you're trapped on a decaying, lawless island under siege by the minions of the most vicious super villain of all, Carnage.
