A woman approaches and RG starts talking about the many choices available. Then he grabs a box of Wheaties with The New Avengers pictured on the front. He slowly turns toward the woman and takes the same pose as himself on the box. She nervously takes the box and rushes away, dumping the box at the end of the aisle.

It’s 14 months later and the New Avengers are meeting in their headquarters and Yelena points out that even though the government says they’re The New Avengers, Sam Wilson is contesting the name, even going so far as to file for a copyright. While they discuss their predicament, Alexei trots out in a garish uniform covered with sponsor badges and shows them his solution: they should call themselves “The New Avengerz” with a Z, thereby getti ng around the copyright issue.

As they discuss a new space crisis, an alarm goes off, and the computer announces that an unknown extradimensional spaceship is entering the atmosphere. They call up satellite video and we see a sleek ship with the Fantastic Four logo on it.

That’s followed by a message that The New Avengers and Bob will return.
