NORMAN OSBORN'S DARK REIGN FALLS ON THE INITIATIVE!

A shining example of hope in the Marvel Universe, the Initiative existed to train the super heroes of tomorrow. But when Norman Osborn is promoted to Director of H.A.M.M.E.R., the former super villain twists the organization to serve his own dark motives...and places the Hood and Taskmaster in charge!
