The Avengers and Defenders ' strangest adventurejust got a small chip weirder inTarot#4 . Now the team - comprised of composites of bothAvengers and Defenders- is in a flip struggle with a radical of realness - buckle toon fictitious character call in the Unbelievables . Front and center , the loss leader of the Unbelievables is a animated cartoon mouse who might have control of the very amusing Good Book medium itself - and can reshape the Marvel universes as he pleases . Does he seem a little … familiar ?
The adventure begin right smart back in World War II when Captain America and his allies battled Nazi golems . Captain America briefly turned into the Hulk , with Namor also resembling Doctor Strange at one full point . In the present , the Defenders answered a distress call at Avengers Mansion . The villain Diablo was using Ichor , the same substance the make the golems in World War II , to make tarot cards of the Avengers and Defenders and take command of them . However , his plan fails and the tarot cards are lost in the multiverse during the scruffle .

The fight continue to escalate until literal funny leger baptistery seems to be turning against the heroes , as the words turn into jumbo rock that near crush them . The heroes recover , only to be attacked by Black Panther fight alongside Alpha Flight and several others . The team finds themselves in a Nazi - ruled New York , assail by even more heroes lead by the Unbelievables . Both Major Gamma and Diablo point to the entropy of these encounters , and Doc Surf uses the Eye of Agamotto to detect the tarot carte du jour , who have no landed in the hands of two children . Tony Stark ( now called Gadget ) trade his holograms for the tarot carte du jour , and once cards are destroyed , world reverts to normal , with the two team finally back to regular world .
finally , the cartoon mouse and his Unbelievable allies were n’t exactly responsible for for the ensuing reality - alter roguishness , as they were macrocosm of the minor ’s own intense imagination on the tarot cards . Still , it is particularly telling that the leader of the Unbelievables is a sketch mouse and one that seems to be the most fearful loss leader of the bunch . That say , the black eye looks more like Mighty Mouse than a certain dear Disney mascot , but there ’s still an implication that the composite Hero of Alexandria are butting up against some representation of Marvel ’s incorporated owner .
Still , Tarotby Alan Davis and Paul Renaud survive more as a court to the superheroes ' out - of - the - universe escapades , rather than any scathing satire . The entire write up spans both the Golden Age as well as the Bronze Age , with the latter providing the designs and attitude of the characters . The Unbelievables live largely as a cartoon hydrofoil for the composite comic book character to look , but it ’s concentrated to ignore that its a mouse leading the charge against not one but two sets of Marvel superheroes .
