Kang then takes all the Avengers to save the Swordsman who Kang finds a laughable weakling to be left behind.

Taking a Quinjet there, Swordsman has to fight off the Egyptian military to gain passage to the pyramid (one of Kang's former bases when he once acted as the pharaoh Rama-Tut) There, Swordsman unleashed the ancient vampire Amenhotep and has to fight the beast off. Eventually, Swordsman manages to find an entrance to the main control room where he overhears Kang planning on putting the unconscious male Avengers into Macrobot shells to use as weapons to take over the world. Before Swordsman can attack, he is stopped by Rama-Tut, Kang's past counterpart...
