Somewhere inAfrica, a newspaper reporter has come to see a tribe that worships a real African god of myth, theLion God, however, his big scoop turns out to be more than he bargained for when his own soul is offered up as a sacrifice to the Lion God.

Later in New York, theScarlet Witch is helpingBlack Widow settle inAvengers Mansion when suddenly they're alerted of a disturbance outside. A number of African American protesters have shown up protesting that theBlack Panther has "sold out" to the "white establishment" of theUnited States and demand that he return to Africa. These protesters manage to crash the doors and get into Avengers Mansion where they try to attack the Panther, and a battle ensues. In the confrontation, Black Panther demands answers when he's told they were organized by the news reporter who demands that the Black Panther come with him. Suddenly the Black Panther bows in subservience, and it's revealed that the reporter is really the Lion God in disguise. The Lion God explains that he has come to take the Black Panther back to Africa and succeeds in doing so before theAvengers have a chance to stop him.

Elsewhere the being is known asMantis and her mysterious partner decides that the time is right to join the ranks of the Avengers. In Africa, the Lion God has Black Panther shackled as his prisoner. The Lion God explains that he seeks to crush the Panther God and all who worship him. Back in New York as the Avengers contemplate how to rescue their friend, the Lion God returns with Black Panther. There the Lion God want to destroy the Avengers.

The Avengers battle the Lion God and the lions which he summoned; at first the Lion God has the upper hand, however, the Black Panther manages to get free and turn the tide.Thor summons lightning and commands it to strike the Lion God's staff, causing the being to disappear. After the battle, the Black Widow decides that being in the Avengers is not for her and quits the group to return toDaredevil. Elsewhere, the Lion God has survived and is already plotting his revenge against the Black Panther.
