Premise
Black Panther and Falcon team up with Greer Grant / Tigra to apprehend Ulysses Klaw and Erik Killmonger / Golden Jaguar, who are smuggling Vibranium for their own attempts to overthrow Hydra even if it will cost the safety of Wakanda. Meanwhile, Spider-Man, Phoenix Princess, Captain Marvel, Iron Man and Hulk work to retrieve Rhino and Sabretooth, who were accidentally transported during a fight over a prototype of the Tesseract into the White Tiger Sanctuary, an island where Tigra's people the Titanian Tigers live since they were banished from Titan by Thanos. The heroes must also work alongside the Titanian Tigers to stop Thanos' exiled adopted daughter Nebula from stealing their sacred artifacts for Ronan the Accuser.

Plot
Captain America, Black Widow, Black Panther, Falcon, Hawkeye and Hulk are battling Crossbones in order to stop him from stealing a biological weapon from a lab in Lagos. Just as the heroes emerge victorious, Crossbones attempts to retreat, but he is ambushed and neutralized by a mysterious figure with cat-like attributes and abilities. Hawkeye initially believes it is either Black Cat or White Tiger, but the figure soon reveals herself to be a Tiger-based female werecat.

The other Avengers soon address to Hawkeye and meet the new heroine, who introduces herself as Tigra and follows them to the Tower. Meanwhile, Peter Parker, Tony Stark and Ava Ayala are examining on a prototype of the Tesseract in Roxxon before they are alerted of the intrusions of Rhino and Sabretooth, to which they don their superhero forms and fight the two villains off. The prototype suddenly erupts and activates an teleportation portal which engulfs both Rhino and Sabretooth to unknown locations. Meanwhile, Black Panther is contacted by his sister Princess Shuri, who alerts him and the Avengers Klaw's attempts to sell Vibranium to Wakandan Exile N'Jadaka / Erik Killmonger in the Wakandan Embassy of India, where Tigra reveals that it is where her people are living in. Meanwhile, Ronan the Accuser and Korath the Pursuer are checking files of a series of artifacts they seek for, and dispatch an unknown shadowed assassin to retrieve those artifacts.
