Beginning: Incoming!
Brawn is visiting his Champions teammates at Champions Mobile Bunker for movie night. They hear a news report on Senator Geoffrey Patrick denouncing Brawn for his rampage in New York, and his allegations that Brawn is not the first young hero to endanger the public. Meanwhile, Spider-Man (Miles Morales) and Spider-Man (Peter Parker) stop a truck that has crashed through the Brooklyn Bridge. Peter and Miles discuss Senator Patrick's recent crusade against young heroes. Peter observes that Patrick's comments about being a menace are similar to his past interactions with J. Jonah Jameson.[2]
The Champions are monitoring a teen summit at Coles Academic High School to protect Ailana Kabua, who has been targeted by the Roxxon Energy Corporation. The school is attacked by Roxxon using an Asgardian dragon left from the War of the Realms. Power Man sends his chi-force at the dragon but Viv is accidentally hit and becomes unstable. The Champions are unable to keep the high school from being destroyed as they stop both the dragon and Viv, who disappears. Ms. Marvel is injured while escorting Ailana to safety. Due to the Coles Disaster, Senator Patrick sponsors the Underage Superhuman Welfare Act, which outlaws superheroes under the age of 21. To honor the injured Kamala, the act is named "Kamala's Law". The passage of the USWA leads to the creation of a task force called C.R.A.D.L.E. (Child-Hero Reconnaissance And Disruption Law Enforcement), which consists of Dum Dum Dugan, Carolina Washington, Jake Oh, Justice, Speedball, and Timeslip. C.R.A.D.L.E. attacks superheroes Moon Girl and Ironheart, resulting in a wave of protests. C.R.A.D.L.E. commandeers the Champions Mobile Bunker, arrests Snowguard and Locust, and hang wanted posters of Ms. Marvel in Jersey City.[1]
Main plot
After waking from a coma, Ms. Marvel makes an unexpected announcement that the Champions will not give up without a fight. Miles Morales escapes from a sting by the NYPD who are in a turf war with C.R.A.D.L.E. Miles reaches the abandoned warehouse where the Champions, Cloud 9, Energizer, Mass Master, Moon Girl, Squirrel Girl and Vulture's granddaughter Starling have gathered to plan their next move in a video conference with Ms. Marvel. The young heroes are split over how to proceed under the new law. As they argue, C.R.A.D.L.E. raids the hideout. Ms. Marvel ends the conference call, realizing there is a spy among them. Bombshell and Wasp are arrested while the rest are teleported to safety by Pinpoint. Unbeknownst to others, Viv is the spy who had sent encrypted message to C.R.A.D.L.E.[6]
Bombshell, Locust, Snowguard, and Starling are taken into a Re-education Center for brainwashing by C.R.A.D.L.E. Protests erupt across Chicago where the Champions members Ms. Marvel, Nova, and Spider-Man monitor the crowd. They call Ironheart and receive no response. When C.R.A.D.L.E. and the police start arresting protesters, the Champions rescue them. Later, they confront Ironheart in her public identity at her house, as Ms. Marvel suspects her to be a spy. Riri is furious with Ms. Marvel, holding her responsible for Viv's presumed death, but transforms into Ironheart when they are attacked by C.R.A.D.L.E. Elsewhere, Viv is on run and prays for the Champions to stop fighting C.R.A.D.L.E. and be safe.[7]
Conclusion: Killer App
While the Champions are now free to return to their crime-fighting careers, Kamala's Law is still in force, and Roxxon is attempting to launch an app called "Roxx-On" to cover their dubious activities, under the direction of Miriam Blakemoore. Meanwhile, Champion member Snowguard leads a group of protestors on Roxxon. Much to Riri's dismay, Roxxon hires her rival, André Sims. Ms. Marvel learns that Roxxon uses their app to secretly gather data to ensure Kamala's Law is fully enforced. It is revealed that André is creating Roxxon's Sentinel-like robots the Champerones to capture under-aged lawbreakers. The Champions send Miles and Sam undercover as interns, and are later joined by Ms. Marvel. During a rally speech by Snowguard, Bombshell, and Falcon to their fellow protestors, the Champions save them from an ambush by undercover Roxxon and C.R.A.D.L.E. agents.[4][11]
During Kamala's undercover mission with Miles and Sam, Viv infiltrates Roxxon's secret lab where Champerones are created and sends the data of Roxxon's next plots to Riri.[12] During the Roxx-On festival, the Champions secretly apprehend Fizzle group to ensure Kamala's speech exposing Roxxon's true motive is a success. Kamala's Law is repealed and C.R.A.D.L.E. is disbanded. While all of the younger superheroes celebrate their victory at the Champions' bunker, André secretly unleashes his Champerones to hunt young heroes who broke the now-repealed law. While the Champions evacuate all young civilians from rampaging Champerones, Miriam stops André from damaging the company's reputation further and arrests him.
