In X-Men #20, by Fabian Nicieza and Andy Kubert, it was revealed that Psylocke had her body swapped with the assassin known as Kwannon. At the time, it was believed that Betsy Braddock was physically altered by the Hand, as well as brainwashed. Fighting her teammate, Wolverine, Psylocke recovered her senses and the X-Men defeated The Mandarin. The criminal mastermind worked with the Hand to transform Psylocke into his own personal assassin. These particular issues weren't directly part of the Prime-Movers' plot, but they did involve The Mandarin.

Clearly, some pairings did not work out in the villains' favor.Īnother significant effect of 'Acts of Vengeance' took place in Uncanny X-Men #256-258, by Chris Claremont and Jim Lee.

The Hulk, in his grey form, humiliated the villain by twisting his arm around backwards and breaking his fingers. Additionally, in The Incredible Hulk#363, by Peter David and Jeff Purves, The Grey Gargoyle was sent after Bruce Banner's alter ego. These villains, including the Beetle, the Eel, Stilt-Man and many others were easily dispatched by the FF, to a humorous degree. In Fantastic Four#334-336, by Walter Simonson and Rich Buckler, an assortment of small-time villains were sent after Marvel's First Family. Still, not all of the fights in 'Acts of Vengeance' proved to be a great challenge for Marvel's heroes. This teenage superhero team would become one of Marvel's biggest titles in the '90s. Both combatants were fairly evenly matched, producing a thrilling, original battle that also introduced the New Warriors. Another exciting brawl took place in Thor#411-412, by Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz, when the God of Thunder faced off against the Juggernaut. Daredevil was sorely tested in this battle, working with Karnak and Gorgon of the Inhumans to defeat his robotic foe.

For example, Daredevil#275-276, by Ann Nocenti and John Romita Jr., pitted The Man Without Fear against the Avengers' longtime foe, Ultron. Throughout 'Acts of Vengeance,' some of the hero-villain pairings produced interesting new dynamics.
