In 2012, Marvel launched Defenders: Tournament of Heroes, a single-issue comic that reimagines the team's classic lineup as combatants in a high-stakes arena-style contest. Written by David Anthony Kraft with art by Sal Buscema, this one-shot pits the non-team against each other in a battle royale, exploring their dynamics under pressure. A brief but focused entry in the Defenders' history, it showcases the veteran creative team's knack for superhero action and character-driven conflict.
