In the late 22nd century, the Skrulls attempt to murder the humans who have uncovered their secret. In 1958, Agent Scott (Velmax in disguise) has asked some heroes to help him investigate security breaches at a research center. There they encounter the Monster Hunters, who are investigating strange psychic emannations traced to the area. Once inside, Agent Scott discovers that the facility contains his old spacecraft, taken by the government in 1947. After the conclusion of that adventure, the Yankee Clipper suggests they form a super-team called the First Line.
