“What If... the Avengers Had Become the Pawns of Korvac?”

In *What If... the Avengers Had Become the Pawns of Korvac?*, the Avengers are shattered and remade—recreated under Korvac’s control to serve as his enforcers as he defends Earth from forces beyond his grasp. Written by Mark Gruenwald and Peter Sanderson, with art by Gruenwald and Greg LaRocque, this 1982 Marvel classic explores a chilling alternate path where heroism is twisted into obedience, and the team’s greatest strength becomes their greatest prison. Cover by Bob Layton and Joe Rubinstein.
