A being of immeasurable power has gathered nine super beings against their will for a purpose beyond their comprehension.  Can this group of Spider-Man, Venom, Gravity, the Hood, Medusa, Hank Pym, the Wasp, Kraven, and Firebird survive Battleworld and each other long enough to learn why they're there?
 
See what happens when cult-favorites like Gravity and the Hood mix it up with superhero legends like Hank Pym and the Wasp.  Watch royalty meet the jungle in Medusa and Kraven.  And will Venom just kill them all?
 
This summer, take a trip beyond with the most explosive assemblage of characters this side of the Real World.
