Synopsis

"In Our Midst... an Immortal!" The Asgardian Enchantress and the Olympian god of war Ares scheme to place the legendary Hercules under their control. Overcome by the Enchantress' love potion, he is sent to attack the Avengers.  While on her way to attend an Avengers' meeting (in which the team would vote to decide whether to induct her as a member), the Black Widow is shanghaied by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and asked to act as a double-agent behind the Iron Curtain. She agrees, but is unhappy to have to leave Hawkeye again.   Hercules attacks the team. The Avengers eventually bring him back to his senses but he is dismayed to discover that because he left Olympus, Zeus has declared him exiled on Earth! The Avengers charitably house him for the duration.
