In the story, the Thunderbolts take a proactive action against banana republics with [[WeaponOfMassDestruction Weapons Of Mass Destruction]]. The Avengers do not trust them, because they are led by Helmut Zemo, and spy on them in several ways. The Thunderbolts create a huge machine, the "Liberator", which would absorb all the dangerous energies of the world: atomic bombs, gamma boms, superpowers, everything. Captain Amerca does not trust them, and thinks it's all an EvilPlan of Zemo to TakeOverTheWorld. The Avengers storm into the Thunderbolts base and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero make a mess]], igniting Moonstone's failsafe against Zemo, a code that channeled all the stolen energy to her. She gets nuts and starts an all-out fight with both the Avengers and the other Thunderbolts.

* AscendedExtra: Dallas Riordan got ionic powers from Atlas and joined the team as Vantage.
* BerserkButton: Atlas is a good friend and can't bring himself to attack his teammates... but when Moonstone attacks Vantage (a FlyingBrick against a mere acrobat, that ends just as expected), then that's it: let's grow more than , and crush Moonstone like an ant!
* BreakingTheFellowship: The Thunderbolts broke up after this fiasco, but Mach IV organized a new team just one month later.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: The Thunderbols, led by Zemo, forced a BananaRepublic to give up their secret atomic plans. The PresidentEvil sent his navy, to no avail. He kept nagging, that he would gather allies, go to the UN... and Zemo interrupted him by showing him and his cabinet a porn video of the president having sex with the wife of his minister (standing right next to him). Vantage asks, WhatTheHellHero. Well, Zemo ended the conflict swiftly, decisively, and... let's hope... without loss of life. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Isn't that what heroes do?]]

* DoNotAdjustYourSet: Averted. Captain America began the fight before the Thunderbolts could announce the use of the Liberator.
* EvilPlan: In what became a consistent MO for Zemo, he tries to "save" the world with approximately the most supervillainous style possible. He may have changed his motives, but not his methods.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Averted. Zemo had a HeelFaceTurn, became a full superhero (and not merely posing as a superhero, as in the early Thunderbolts issues), and organized a great plan to save the world from the weapons of mass destruction. Everybody was so damn sure that, when the moment was due, Zemo would reveal himself as EvilAllAlong and reveal that his plan to save the world was actually an EvilPlan to TakeOverTheWorld. But no. Zemo was doing good things for real, and never changed his mind.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: If the Avengers (or, more exactly, Captain America) stayed at home and trusted in the Thunderbolts, or just made a polite "WhatTheHellHero" instead of going to the attack without waiting for answers, things would have ended SO differently...

* PutOnABus: Moonstone's insanity puts her down for the count, not reviving until after ''Civil War''.



* TakingTheBullet: One of the most unexpected examples in the franchise. [[spoiler:Baron Helmut Zemo saved Captain America's life! Heinrich Zemo must be turning in his grave.]]
