"GONNA BE YUGE"
He's your new president (along with Hank McCoy, see UNCANNY X-MEN #30), and he's making American superheroes great again! The inimitable real estate mogul Donald Trump has hand-picked and assembled a team of big league heroes with proven track records that will succeed where those establishment losers the Avengers have consistently failed! The all-new, all-different All-Winners Squad is comprised of veterans who've served our country, police officers who've kept us safe, and job creators who've made our economy the best in the world! Field leader and proud veteran John Walker - the U.S. Agent ("I like super-soldiers who don't get frozen in ice."). Long-time military general Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross - the Red Hulk ("Pretty much the best hulk."). The future of the NYPD Jake Gallows - Punisher 2099 ("No more coddling loser criminals."). CEO of Oscorp, Harry Osborn - the Green Goblin ("Became head of a tremendous company with just a small loan from his father."). Ex-cop and current anthropologic cat woman Greer Grant - Tigra ( "Grabbed her for the team, didn't even ask."). And legal eastern-European immigrant and businesswoman Silver Sablinova - the Silver Sable ("Very attractive woman, if she wasn't a lethal mercenary I'd probably be dating her."). Together, they're ready to stamp out super-villainy so fast it'll be unbelievable! 
Their first mission? The Potomac River has become corrupted, and what appear to be an army of Man-Things are emerging and infesting Washington D.C.! It's time to drain the swamp!

“MOVING ON UP"
Illegal immigration is a principle concern of President Trump, but he's been so focused on the southern border that he's forgotten we have borders along the y-axis too! The greatest danger comes from below! ("When Subterranea sends its people, they're not sending their best. They're monsters, they're Deviants, they're moloids."). Giant creatures and other weird looking things have begun breaching the surface world with alarming frequency - and with their massive claws, hatred of sunlight, and general enmity towards humanity, their ability to integrate is less than optimal! But President Trump has an idea: Operation Dig Defense ("We're going to build a massive floor under America, and the Mole Man's going to pay for it!"). To persuade the Mole Man to pay, Trump sends the All-Winners Squad - U.S. Agent, Red Hulk, Punisher 2099, Harry Osborn (the Green Goblin), Tigra, and Silver Sable - deep underground! Yet with armies of monsters at his disposal, Mole Man is not easily persuaded! Is it possible to reach a diplomatic solution?!? Nah! Let's make with the punching! 
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the team, a group of radical leftists begin plotting against them. Is the All-Winners Squad prepared for the wrath of the Bold Urban Commandos, a.k.a. the BUCkies?

“A POST-TRUTH AMERICA" Part One "HOLLYWOOD ELITE"
As it becomes apparent that the Mole Man and Subterranea will [i]not[/i] pay to build an impenetrable floor under America, the All-Winners Squad's mission underground becomes a fight to stay alive! But on the surface, they've made an even more dangerous enemy... 
Simon Williams, the illustrious Wonder Man and super-powered thespian ("Overrated actor, terrible hero. When was the last time he was even on a super team?"), used his acceptance speech at an award ceremony to blast the All-Winners Squad. His opinion didn't surprise President Trump ("The guy's a McCoy flunky, Beast's bff and maybe more?"), but his actions might! Wonder Man has publicly promised to use his overwhelming ionic powers to dismantle the Squad in the name of social justice. But little does the public know that their actor hero is adorned with a slave disk courtesy of the mind-manipulating fiend, the Controller! Now U.S. Agent, Red Hulk, Tigra, and the rest of the Squad must not only fend off the Mole Man's forces, but must face the Hollywood-born wrath of Wonder Man ("Awful. Totally unfair!"). And all the while, the Controller laughs from his new headquarters - the CNN Center in Downtown Atlanta!

“A POST-TRUTH AMERICA" Part Two "MY KINGDOM FOR A HOAX"
***GLOBAL WARNING tie-in***
President Trump is unwilling to kowtow to the demand of the People's Republic of Hydra that the U.S. reduce its carbon emissions ("The GLOBAL WARNING is a hoax perpetrated by the P.R.C. The prior President was too "nice" to them. NOT ME!"). That means the All-Winners Squad is going to be the first line of defense for America's polluters! As HYDRA forces prepare to move on unclean coal suppliers overseas, the Squad is slow to react as it continues its war with Hollywood elite Simon "Wonderman" Williams ("If there's an attack while the AWS is busy with Wonderman, it's his fault! APOLOGIZE!"). It's up to U.S. Agent and Silver Sable to try and negotiate with the enraged thespian as Red Hulk, Tigra, and the others break off to defend America's energy resources abroad. Little do they know, negotiations won't work while Wonderman is being mentally enslaved by the Controller, operating from his secret headquarters at CNN Studios - which is now running "All-Losers Squad" hit-pieces 24/7!
Meanwhile, the BUCkies have joined a protest in front of the OsCorp Building in NYC demanding carbon emission reduction. They promise to prevent any effort to make the crowd disperse ("I'm trying to protect our inner cities, and the so-called 'Bold Urban Commandos' are making my job difficult!"). How will this situation inevitably escalate?

“A POST-TRUTH AMERICA" Part Three "MIXED SIGNALS"
***GLOBAL WARNING tie-in***
As the All-Winners squad is split between defending America's unclean coal resources abroad and battling Hollywood elite Simon "Wonderman" Williams at home, it becomes apparent that they can't win with such a divided focus. ("Very unfair!"). It's only when the Green Goblin Harry Osborn leverages his company's tech resources ("We need more solutions from the private sector like this. It's why I made the deal to keep OsCorp in America!") that he discovers a secret signal is being broadcast in Wonderman's direction - a signal that looks like the unmistakable mind-controlling frequency of one of the Controller's slave disks! The team must cut that signal off, but the BUCkies' protest outside the OsCorp building makes it impossible to escape, even by glider! Can Silver Sable extract Harry while U.S. Agent and Tigra track the signal to its source - CNN studios in Atlanta! ("No surprise that FAKE NEWS CNN is secretly controlled by a supervillain, I always knew!").
Plus, Red Hulk and Punisher 2099 versus HYDRA in a coal mine - talk about bad for the environment!

“A POST-TRUTH AMERICA" Part Four "AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT"
***GLOBAL WARNING tie-in***
The Controller has fortified CNN Studios in Atlanta, preparing for the inevitable confrontation with the All-Winners Squad ("FAKE NEWS like CNN is the real super villain."). Yet, the squad's heavy-hitters, Red Hulk and Punisher 2099, are still engaged with HYDRA forces overseas, while Harry "Green Goblin" Osborn and Silver Sable are occupied by the BUCkies (Bold Urban Commandos) and their anti-emission Global Warning protest group outside OsCorp Tower ("These PAID protestors are just professional Soros henchmen hired to stop us from making America great again!"). That leaves U.S. Agent and Tigra with the task of shutting down CNN... but they're about to get some unlikely help! Trump's majordomo Steve Bannon has personally recruited an eccentric crime-fighter who recently, and inexplicably, gained tremendous popularity in certain internet circles. He's the "gifted" mascot for the alt-right - the fabulous Frog-Man! And he's ready to use his leaping abilities to take out the Controller! ("His jumps are tremendous, very high!"). But can the All-Winners Squad tolerate working with a conspiracy-theorist who just called them "total cucks" in his interview with Infowars? Or will they all end up slaves of the new king of mass media, the Controller?

“ESTABLISHMENT CLAWS"
The All-Winners Squad have finally defeated CNN, the network taken over by the super-villainous Controller. ("My team saved the day again. Pay attention CNN, this is REAL NEWS!"). But U.S. Agent and the Squad suspect Controller wasn't a mastermind, but merely a tool of an even greater power....
Meanwhile, an old enemy returns! Last year, Hillary Clinton was exposed by Nick Fury to secretly be a Serpent Man, part of the ancient reptilian race descended from the Elder God Set that was worshipped in antiquity by a cult that eventually became HYDRA! (see SECRET AVENGERS #12-14) ("I knew Crooked Hillary was a reptilian years before Fury did. Should have asked me!"). Now she's slithered out of hiding, thirsting for vengeance and gathering adherents into a new Serpent Cult! President Trump has issued an executive order to disperse the cult and arrest Hillary ("It's past time to LOCK HER UP!"), but a federal Judge issued an injunction preventing him from taking action on the grounds that his order is unconstitutional! ("I have the best lawyers, and they tell me that freedom of religion does not extend to the worship of malevolent elder gods of chaos who want to eradicate or enslave humanity. Too bad, so sad."). Worse yet, the cult has kidnapped Squad members Red Hulk and Punisher 2099, who were defending unclean coal operations overseas, and plans to ritualistically sacrifice them to the many-headed Set! Can Tigra, Silver Sable, and the others mount a rescue operation without violating federal law? Can "the Green Goblin" Harry Osborn convince the judge to lift the injunction and untie the Squad's hands, or will his teammates be forced into an impossible fight where they cannot use any offense?
Plus, Frog-Man gets fired and the Squad's victory over CNN inspires a legendary lawman to come out of retirement. When you're in Texas, look behind you...

"THE BEST HEAD"
Having defeated global warming (see GLOBAL WARNING OMEGA #0), President Trump celebrates by withdrawing the U.S. from international climate change agreements. ("Bad deals then, worse deals now!"). This draws the ire of the Sect of Socialist Sorcerers, who, inspired by comedian Kathy Griffin, cast a spell printed in the editorial section of the New York Times that magically separates Trump's head from his body! Kept alive by M.O.D.O.K. technology repurposed by OsCorp ("Many people are saying I should be called P.O.D.O.K. - Presidential Organism Designed Only for making the most Killer deals for America."), the All Winners Squad scrambles to reverse the spell's effects. Recruiting special guest star Dr. Strange, who is extremely busy ("The mystical health care system in this country is a mess. A MESS."), the team learns what it must do: Punisher 2099 and Silver Sable must go on a literal witch hunt to eliminate the socialist sorcerer supreme. ("Too bad I can't help, nobody is better at hunting witches than me. Believe me."). Tigra and Harry Osborn must somehow trick the New York Times into printing its own name backwards as a counterspell. Finally, Red Hulk and U.S. Agent must unlock the powers of Trump's own young son Barron, upon whom a wizard was said to have bestowed the timeliness of Cronus, the knowledge of Osiris, the beauty of Venus, the luck of Fortuna, the charm of Eros, the benevolence of Freyja, and the speed of Ewah. If only there was a magic word Barron could speak to unlock these powers... ("COVFEFE!")!
Meanwhile, Walker, Texas Ranger, believes he's discovered the headquarters of the Bold Urban Commandos in the liberal bastion of Austin. But is it foolhardy for the elderly lawman to try to dismantle the B.U.C.kies on his own?

"AFFORDABLE CARE ACTS OF VENGEANCE"
As the President attempts to negotiate a better deal for America with respect to health care, review of Obamacare has unleashed literal demons that were long hidden within the Affordable Care Act legislation - the Death Panels! ("Some say I don't understand health care demons. Wrong! I understand them well and want them exorcised for the American People!"). These luciferian bureaucrats determine who amongst the elderly is worthy of death - and their first choice is senior Texas Ranger, Cordell Walker, who was delivered to the panelists after being captured in Austin by the Bold Urban Commandos! Can U.S. Agent, Red Hulk, Silver Sable, Punisher 2099, and Tigra identify and eliminate these Death Panelists before a law-enforcement legend is sacrificed to appease the fiscal lords of the underworld? ("We must immediately repeal these demons and replace them with angels later."). It won't be easy, because the only way to tell a psycho Death Panelist from a normal person is if they're bleeding badly from facial surgery designed to hide their horns!
Meanwhile, the mainstream media is attacking Harry Osborn for being a member of the All-Winners Squad without fully divesting himself from his company, OsCorp. But is it wise to attempt to transfer his corporate interests to his son Normie when he's only four years old?("When I was 4, I was already a billionaire thanks to a small loan from my father."). 
Plus, what startling secret has Arabian Knight, the Squad's friend in the Middle East, uncovered?

"REVISIONIST HISTORY"
The Squad faces adversity on all sides, and the Bold Urban Commandos are poised to achieve their greatest victory yet! After critically injuring conservative hero Walker, Texas Ranger, the BUCkies' campaign to tear America's cultural heritage asunder and reshape the nation in their own radical-leftist image gains momentum ("They've got shields, maybe made of vibranium, I don't know, and clubs, possibly made of uru. I think this is a problem."). Now their leader, the self-proclaimed "anti-fascist" Flag-Smasher ("Irrelevant clown villain smashes things made of cloth. Total dummy."), has announced his next targets: the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial in D.C.! As U.S. Agent, Tigra, and Harry "Green Goblin" Osborn take every effort to protect the landmarks, Punisher 2099 recognizes that the BUCkies possess weaponry from his era - including temporal-displacement tech. It's then that he realizes the true scope of their plan. They're not just trying to destroy America's great statutes and monuments... they're trying to completely erase them from history! 
Meanwhile, the unhinged Commissar of the Asian nation of Sin-Cong has announced plans to develop his country's first artificially intelligent android battalion despite warnings from the U.S. ("Superhuman solutions are in place, locked and loaded, should Sin-Cong act unwisely in choosing to create an army of Ultrons."). President Trump has promised "Fire and Fury," but the Human Torch declined Trump's invitation ("Cowardly Johnny isn't even the first Human Torch, and burns at least 80% less hot than Jim Hammond."), so Red Hulk will have to do. But on a mission to apply "political pressure" near the demilitarized zone on Sin-Cong's border, can even General Ross and Silver Sable control "the Fury," a deadly "cybiote" of incalculable power?
