The Avengers (Marvel;Re)/Issue 4 (GazzaB9)

The fourth issue of Ant-Man's Avengers team in Marvel;Re and the fourth part of the "Stellify" arc.

Synopsis
The Avengers get to work uncovering the mysteries of the girl they have dubbed Stella. However, it could be quite hard for Hank, who is stuck fighting in a Kree colosseum.

Plot (unfinished)
We open on a Centaurian battling against a spider alien. The spider alien beheads the Centaurian and some blood splatters in front of Hank and his team. Hank takes a step back from the blood puddle and turns to his guard, Tel-Kar. The door behind the heroes opens up and Mar-Adon walks in. He calmly walks up to Tel-Kar and hands him a piece of paper. Tel-Kar reads it while Mar-Adon menacingly stares at Ant-Man. They all go quiet. Ant-Man looks at Mar-Adon, who continues to stare at him. Meanwhile, Wasp and her team sit completely quiet in a dark room with Kl'rt, the Super-Skrull. Kl'rt looks at some papers, placing them on the table in front of him when he's done. We cut back to Hank's team. Hank quickly dodges out of the way of a punch so hard that it sends a shockwave behind him. The man throwing the punch is revealed to be Qnax, the Amphibion. She-Hulk punches Qnax away from Ant-Man and Vision begins attacking him. Ant-Man is about to argue with her but quickly closes his mouth. He then smiles. Vision continues his fight against Qnax, with Qnax not being able to hit Vision due to being unable to fly. Qnax grits his teeth. Qnax turns to face Hank. Hank smiles. The Kree in the stadium stare in awe and slowly look up as Hank grows in size, towering over the arena. Wane-Van also gazes up at Hank from her balcony, alongside Mar-Adon. Mar-Adon blankly stares at Hank. Meanwhile, the now gigantic Hank slowly raises his hand to his face, staring menacingly at Qnax in the palm of his hand. Giant-Man winds back and tosses Qnax into the ground, a large explosion of dust erupting around Qnax as he hits the floor. Qnax wipes some blood from his mouth. Giant-Man raises his foot and brings it down on Qnax. He moves his foot, revealing Qnax is unconscious below him. Hank shrinks back down. Ant-Man walks up to the carvings around the arena, which depict Adam Kadmon with stars in his eyes. Vision's own eyes flash. Hank examines the picture for a second. Something starts clicking in his brain but his thought process is interrupted by a loud crash from behind him. He turns and sees that Mar-Adon has leapt into the arena. Mar-Adon runs towards Ant-Man but is punched in the gut by She-Hulk. Mar-Adon looks up at her. Mar-Adon points at Hank. Mar-Adon slowly gets back up and She-Hulk gets into a boxing stance. Mar-Adon raises his axe and gets ready for combat but completely stops and starts looking around the arena. The Avengers start staring in shock at something, as do Tel-Kar and Queen Wane-Van. A zoom-out reveals that every single Kree in the audience has been cut out of existence just like Wane-Van's son and Egghead.
 * Ant-Man: Why the hell do they even have this place?
 * Tel-Kar: Have you ever wondered why most Kree aren't the violent type?
 * She-Hulk: Well, actually, we've met several violent Kree.
 * Tel-Kar: It's all thanks to this colosseum.
 * She-Hulk: Are you ignoring me?
 * Tel-Kar: There's no better way of getting your anger out than watching one man beat the life out of another. That's why this colosseum exists.
 * Tel-Kar: Hm. It appears that Mar-Adon has requested to fight you all a bit later down the line. Interesting. I suppose that means you'll have a fight or two before him.
 * Ant-Man: Why?
 * Tel-Kar: According to his letter, he'd like to see you all squirm before he battled you.
 * Super-Skrull: So. Apparently, your leader and a few of your members allowed themselves to be taken by the Kree, saving many of my forces from a suicide mission against an army of 800.
 * Wasp: Y... yes.
 * Super-Skrull: Hm... unfortunate. I was looking forward to my rematch with Hercules. Oh well. Perhaps another time.
 * Hercules: Truth be told, I'm a little relieved. You look a lot stronger than the last time I met you and I'm not sure I could take you without my Golden Mace.
 * Super-Skrull: You couldn't.
 * Hercules: O-oh... Well, okay.
 * Super-Skrull: Now, what do you need from me?
 * Wasp: We're having trouble with our current mission.
 * Stella: We're trying to figure out who I am but it's getting more confusing. When we were on the moon your men picked us up from, I froze when I saw the picture of Adam Kadmon on it. You haven't said anything to me, so I'm assuming you don't know who I am, but can you at least explain to me who Adam Kadmon is so that I can get an idea of why he shocked me so much?
 * Super-Skrull: Adam Kadmon? Who's that?
 * Moon Knight: In a couple of prints of the bible, they say that the first human before Adam was called Adam Kadmon.
 * Super-Skrull: Oh, you're talking about the Skrull Before Skrulls!
 * Spider-Woman: Skrull Before Skrulls? Kinda basic name, don't you think?
 * Stella: Oh great, more questions...
 * Super-Skrull: Oh no, don't worry, I'm more than willing to answer any questions.
 * Stella: Then what the hell is the Skrull Before Skrulls!?
 * Super-Skrull: He's the first being ever born in the universe. Before the Skrulls and Kree even had gods, their early ancestors worshipped a being so massive that it could be seen from both the original Skrull home of Skrullos and the Kree home Hala. Although it was so many years ago that nobody remembers what his name was. So that thing you saw with his name must've been ancient. I wonder how the ancient Kree managed to get to the moon... curious. Though it's quite ironic, isn't it? That the first god of the Kree was a Skrull? haha!
 * Wasp: How do you know he was a Skrull if it was that long ago?
 * Super-Skrull: Well... why wouldn't he be?
 * Stella: Just Skrulls and Kree? But I saw humans also bowing to him...
 * Super-Skrull: ...Huh. Perhaps the Skrull Before Skrulls visited humanity as well? Though that doesn't explain why the Kree would know about that... I'm sorry, it appears that closing one mystery has opened another.
 * Stella: No, it's fine. You've actually... rung a bell for me.
 * Wasp: Really? What is it?
 * Stella: I think I know Adam Kadmon.
 * Qnax: You continuously evade my attacks like a coward!? How can you possibly stand up against your future match against Mar-Adon if you refuse to even take a punch from me!? Show me your power, boy! Fight as if you intend to kill me!
 * Ant-Man: This is the first match!?
 * Qnax: I came here to test my strength against the galaxy's most powerful warriors, and yet they do nothing but run away!?
 * She-Hulk: What the hell, Hank!? You weren't even trying to fight him!
 * Ant-Man: Well, I don't have my suit right now so I can't take even a single punch from him without dying. Plus I'm not allowed to use my powers, so I'm kind of out of options here!
 * She-Hulk: No, he said you aren't allowed to shrink.
 * Qnax: You fly in the air sending blows from your eyes rather than with your fists like a real man, automation!? How cowardly!
 * Vision: I'm safe from up here. I'd rather not risk my well-being if there's a more logical way of combat.
 * Ant-Man: HEY!!
 * Qnax: Finally ready to face me, cowardly Ant-Man?
 * Ant-Man: Heard of me, huh?
 * Qnax: I'm a rival of your comrade The Hulk. He's mentioned you a few times.
 * Ant-Man: Has he also mentioned that I'm not just Ant-Man?
 * Qnax: Excuse me?
 * Queen Wane-Van: So... he grows. Interesting. It's going to be a very interesting fight when the two of you battle.
 * Giant-Man: Hey...
 * Qnax: My God... incredible...
 * Giant-Man: In my current form, I'm positive that my level of strength dwarfs your own. Let's test that theory. You're pretty hard to kill anyway, right...?
 * Queen Wane-Van: Hm... the man who was once the strongest in the universe fell to a warrior of Earth. Impressive.
 * Queen Wane-Van: What is your request?
 * Ant-Man: Huh?
 * Queen Wan-Van: Every time a combatant wins a battle in the Kree colosseum, they are allowed to request anything of me. Within reason.
 * Ant-Man: So I can't request you just let me go?
 * Queen Wane-Van: Absolutely not.
 * Ant-Man: Thought not...
 * Vision: I'd suggest you ask her for information on Stella.
 * She-Hulk: Nah, if she knew anything she woulda recognized her when you showed up with her.
 * Ant-Man: Hm... Okay, I have my request.
 * Queen Wane-Van: Speak.
 * Ant-Man: Who is Adam Kadmon?
 * Queen Wane-Van: Who?
 * Ant-Man: I saw a tapestry on that moon. It showed Kree, Skrull, and humans worshipping Adam Kadmon.
 * Queen Wane-Van: Hm... the closest thing I can think of is T'nobak. Roughly translated into Human tongue, it means "first-ever entity". He was a Kree worshipped by Kree and Skrull alike, ironically. I assume Adam Kadmon is what the original Kree and Skrulls called him. Nowadays, none of us worship him and we really only use him in art. Such as the carvings around the colosseum.
 * She-Hulk: These pictures are Adam Kadmon?
 * Vision: Nothing in my databank matches. Although, as a personal aside, the picture is familiar. Perhaps I've seen a picture of him or something similar to him before and didn't add it to my databank?
 * She-Hulk: Yeah, he does look kinda familiar now that you mention it.
 * Queen Wane-Van: Oh, it appears my warrior has had his fill of watching you three fight. Usually, we clear the body before the next match but very well. Proceed.
 * She-Hulk: Come on, pick on somebody your own size!
 * She-Hulk: Yeah, yeah, you wanna fight my friend. I just don't care. Honestly, I barely know you and I'm already sick of you.
 * She-Hulk: What? What is it?
 * Ant-Man: Oh my God...
