Graviton's Attack

**Graviton's Attack** (also known as the **Attack of Graviton**) was a big attack-like battle from Marvel's *The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes*. It deals with a bunch of different heroes coming together to stop a villain named Graviton from destroying New York City. The battle takes place in the two-part Season 1 special, "Breakout."

## History

### Background

It all started with a man named Dr. Franklin Hall who was a theoretical physicist who worked for S.H.I.E.L.D. as a scientist to develop super soldiers. Then one day during an experiment Franklin was doing involving gravitational forces. There was an accident that gave him the power to control gravity but it also drove him insane in the process thus becoming Graviton. When Graviton was hospitalized and restrained, he demanded to see Nick Fury by threatening the doctors with his powers but was subdued by Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. using knockout gas. Graviton was then locked up in the Raft, a high-security prison built by S.H.I.E.L.D. under the ocean to hold the most powerful and dangerous criminals in the world where he slept for ten years which Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. kept secret about for public safety.

### The Battle

But when the Breakout happens, Graviton escapes and is surprised to see how old he has now gotten then after being told about how long he has been imprisoned by Baron Zemo who was also a prisoner of the Raft for six years. Graviton uses his powers to lift the whole prison up and out of the ocean and then he grabs Nick Fury who came to Raft with some S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents to stop the prisoners from escaping the Raft. Graviton uses his powers to torture Nick Fury, planning to kill him as revenge for imprisoning him in the Raft for ten years but is knocked down by Thor using Mjolnir which causes Graviton to drop the Raft back into the ocean then Wasp saves Nick Fury. Thor tells Graviton to stand down but he refuses and plans on using his powers to attack the world so Thor fights him off. Then after Wasp gets Nick Fury to safety and regroups with Ant-Man, Nick Fury calls in all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s forces to come and stop Graviton. But Graviton soon proves to be too powerful for Thor to fight alone then he increases Thor's gravity which causes him to sink into the ocean with Mjolnir. Graviton tries to go after Nick Fury but Wasp fights him off by zapping him then Iron Man arrives and helps her out by blasting Graviton into the ocean. Then when Iron Man and Wasp go to rescue Thor, Graviton flies out of the ocean and decreases Iron Man's gravity which causes him to fly up into space. Which forces Wasp to fight off Graviton alone but Ant-Man shows up and grows to giant size to fight off Graviton as Giant-Man but also gets beaten. Graviton later grabs Nick Fury again and crushes him but discovers that he is a robot so Graviton goes to attack New York City by lifting it out of the ocean. However, Thor is able to get out of the ocean after getting back Mjolnir then knocks down Graviton again. But in the process, it makes him drop the city which Thor is able to save and place back gently then Iron Man returns from space. As Graviton continues to attack the city, Thor, Iron Man, Ant-Man, and Wasp confront him but Graviton pushes them all back with his powers. But then Hulk arrives and fights off Graviton to the docks but Graviton beats him down along with the other heroes using his powers. Graviton soon creates a huge gravity storm but Hulk is able to get back up to fight off Graviton again and Ant-Man shrinks down and calls in some ants to help. Despite Graviton's attempts to keep Hulk down, he still gets back up then Ant-Man's ants bite Graviton which causes him to lose his concentration on both the gravity storm and Hulk. This allows Hulk to fight off Graviton but he tries to hold Hulk back again using his powers until all the heroes work together to fight off Graviton until they defeat him with Thor delivering the final blow with a large lightning attack then Wasp zaps Graviton out cold.

### Aftermath

After that, S.H.I.E.L.D. surrounds the heroes to arrest Hulk but Iron Man, Thor, Ant-Man, and Wasp come to his defense. Then Nick Fury arrives informing the heroes that because of the Breakout, there are a lot of supervillains on the loose around the world, and wants the heroes to all come work for him as S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents to help recapture them all. But the heroes all refuse to because they blame him and S.H.I.E.L.D. for Graviton's attack by creating him and keeping quiet about it in the first place. Until Iron Man comes up with an idea for all of the heroes to work together as an independent team called the Avengers. However, Hulk later leaves the Avengers after his mind is manipulated by Amora the Enchantress but he eventually rejoins them in Gamma World.
