Premise
Arcade invades the Avengers Mansion, captures and turns Iron Man, Ms. Marvel, Black Widow, Hulk, Captain America, Mockingbird, Wolverine, Wasp, Ant-Man, and Hawkeye into players for an Avengers video game. While the Avengers work their way of the game, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man and Phoenix Princess battle an army of monsters who came from Arcade's game.

Plot
The episode starts off at Avengers Mansion with Ms. Marvel playing an online fighting videogame called "Avengers Fighters 2" as she is playing against Iceman online until she gets to help the Avengers (Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Wasp, Ant-Man, Captain America and Hulk), Wolverine and Mockingbird when the mansion is being attacked by an army of toy robots. Right after the heroes defeat the robots, they end up hit by teleportation beams coming from one of the robots, which is ready saying: "Game on.".

The heroes find themselves trapped in a virtual reality dimension based on the game Ms. Marvel and Iceman was playing. The mastermind behind the trap turns out to be Arcade, who is planning to host a new game with the superheroes as playable characters. Arcade has his robot drones insert small electronic devices to control their motor functions. Meanwhile, Spider-Man, Phoenix Princess, Iceman and Captain Marvel reach the Avengers Mansion to intestigate the incident. Jocasta analyses the destroyed robots and discovers prototypes of the Space and Reality Stones within them and learns of Arcade's schemes. Noticing that the prototypes are unstable, they set out to chase Arcade's main computer (where their allies and teammates are trapped in) and apprehend him.

Later, Arcade forces Iron Man and Captain America to fight against each other while the others are forced to sit down and watch. Taking up the lessons Mister Fantastic taught her before, Ms. Marvel discreetly manipulates the size and shape of her body to do some small sabotage on the devices controlling her. Just as Iron Man is near to win, Ms. Marvel frees herself and starts wreacking havoc in the area, damaging the core controller of Arcade's devices and freeing the others as well in the progress. The heroes manage to battle their way out of the game while Arcade manages to "change the game's rules" by spawning monsters and digital replicas of supervillains. Back in the real world, Spider-Man, Phoenix Princess and Captain Marvel manage to track Arcade's hideout. Suddenly, they are surrounded by monsters coming from Arcade's game due to a malfunction even Arcade himself did not expect from his machines. The Avengers eventually escape from the game and helped the others defeat Arcade's monsters as Arcade tries to escape, only to be captured by Ms. Marvel and taken to the Vault.
