* FlirtingUnderFire: Mantis, the Scarlet Witch and Agatha Harkess are captured by Kang and placed inside test tubes, where 2 of them are going to die. The other Avengers are captured and helpless, while Kang makes strange experiments with them, and his yet unkown plan nears completition. Mantis, Scarlet Witch... do you really think that was a good moment to discuss who deserves the love of the Vision better?

* TheSocialDarwinist: Inverted. There is a "Celestial Madonna", a perfect human being, but it is not a Übermensch from a world power, it is a poor girl from a third-world country ravaged by war. In fact, living among poor people and being one of them was ''precisely'' the reason why Mantis was selected to be the Celestial Madonna and not Moondragon, who never left the convent.

'''''The Celestial Madonna Saga''''' is a 1970s storyline of ComicBook/TheAvengers, written by Steve Englehart. The plot is massively complex, and it is perhaps the most complex comic book plot written up to that date (and it may still give a headache to modern readers). In short, the Swordman had returned to the Avengers and brought Mantis with him, a Vietnamite ninja. Unraveling details of her past, which was composed of fake memories, she became the "Celestial Madonna" (the perfect human being), got married with a sentient tree and ascended to a higher plane of existence. The time-traveler Kang the Conqueror tried to abduct Mantis, but he was opposed by pharaoh Ranma-Tut (a future self of Kang) and Immortus (a future self of Kang and Ranma-Tut); even so he attacked a second, a third and a forth time. The Vision discovers that his body was not created by Ultron; actually he used to be the robotic Human Torch, with a changed body and new brain patterns (this became more complicated in the future...). Agatha Harkness trained the Scarlet Witch in sorcery, so she became an actual witch, and not just a mere fancy superhero name. And, as a bonus, we also learn the origin of Moondragon. Sounds complicated? Well, remember that this is just ''the brief introductory version''.

Of course, this is a comic book without any relation to [[Music:Madonna the Queen of Pop]].
