Cul Borson and his organization the Circle of 8 have been growing in power, culminating in a plan to resurrect The Serpent with the collective fear of Earth. In order to enact this plan, eight hammers possessing an evil spirit are sent across Earth to cause chaos. Starting with Chapter 6, the hammers land on Earth and claim their hosts:


 * 1) At the start of Chapter 6, She-Hulk touches a hammer and becomes Skirn, Breaker of Men.
 * 2) Offscreen, Sin comes across a hammer and becomes Skadi, Herald of the Serpent.
 * 3) During the events of Chapter 7, Luke Cage had gone missing during a mission and reemerged as Nul, Breaker of Worlds.
 * 4) At the start of Chapter 8, Spider-Woman, out of curiosity, touches one of the hammers and becomes Kuurth, Breaker of Stone.
 * 5) After finishing a deployment mission, Mockingbird gets sidetracked. In the next chapter, she debuts as Nerkkod, Breaker of Oceans.
 * 6) In Chapter 9, Daimon Hellstrom is trailing a villain and returns as Angrir, Breaker of Souls by the next chapter.

 * 8) Finally, Ghost Rider, as Greithoth, Breaker of Wills, returns to fight Mephisto.

In Chapter 12, Iron Man comes with a plan to free The Worthy by facing them with a close associate.

The relevant events of this season are loosely based on the storyline Fear Itself.
