* LighterAndSofter: The idea of 42 counts as this. Here, it's just another prison especially designed for supervillains. In the comics, it was one of the most controversial plot devices of ''ComicBook/CivilWar'', as it was used to incarcerate heroes who didn't want to sign up to the [[SuperRegistrationAct SHRA]].

* MindRape: The Leader suffers this because of Annihilus. It's not a direct attempt, but the Leader can sense his mind, and it's just so chaotic and unusual that he can barely function.


Added DiffLines:

* NotWhatItLooksLike: Ms. Marvel threatens to zap the Leader and Abomination for approaching the computer terminal. The Leader insists this is not an escape attempt and that he's trying to make Annihilus vulnerable, though Abomination actually thought they were attempting to escape.
* OhCrap: Seeing what the bugs have already done, Blizzard considers going back to his cell.
* OmnicidalManiac: According to the Leader, Annihilus is driven to wipe out all positive matter for encroaching on the Negative Zone.

* TokenGoodTeammate: Unsurprisingly, Captain Mar-Vell is the first of the inmates to volunteer to help the Avengers.
* VillainBall: Abomination asks why they should help the very people that imprisoned them in the first place. Cap offers to vouch for them at a parole hearing if they help, as well as notes fighting the bugs as a group is preferable to being alone in their small cells.

Welcome to the newest supervillain prison, known only as "42". Located in an alternate dimension, this vault ensures the ''disadvantage'' of escape with a completely uninhabitable void outside the walls... apart from the swarm of massive insects closing in on the walls. Led by Annihilus, the only hope against them is the small band of heroes and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents... and ''their'' only hope may be the very people they've imprisoned here.
