Spurred on by a tip from Jarvis serving "Joe" at the Avengers Mansion, the search for Alkhema leads groups of Avengers to Thebes in Greece and in Egypt. Hawkeye and Janet Pym search Amenhoptep III, in Egypt, which evokes this quip from Hawkeye: "Well, if this is all that's left of Amen-Whoozis III, I'm skipping the first two movies." Hawkeye finds a trap door hidden between the Colossi of Memnon, one of which is "singing." Joined by four more Avengers, including Cap, the team smashes through a group of robots. Suddenly a red-faced robot shouts "Halt, Robos!" The bot identifies Vision, Yellow Jacket, Wasp as "Three of the Progenitors!", and after "A short subterranean march later . . . " announces: "Behold, Dear Progenitors—Robotopia!" Gape-mouth Cap says, "Good Lord!", and the next page shows the group looking down into the multi-storied city with walkways. This looks like the first page of L'Incal by Moebius, except the city is all straight lines with the robots looking like figures on conveyor belts (the walkways). The robots start to chant their menacing "01 10000101" Ascii codes and Chapter 6, "Deadly Reunion," begins.
