Synopsis
SHIELD, and the 'Avengers West Coast' launch an attack on the Secret Empire HQ in Russia from the Helicarrier. The assault is led by Nick Fury himself and Clint Barton (now Hawkeye again), the leader of the 'Avengers West Coast'.

Simon Williams (aka Agent Wonder Man) searches for his brother, Secret Empire scientist Eric Williams (aka The Reaper) while the others search for the Red Skull himself.

Clint's team doesn't find the Red Skull in any room in the HQ disguised as a run down apartment building. He tells this to Nick Fury on their communication system while they are all fighting hordes of Secret Empire operatives. Fury's team hasn't found the nuclear warhead either, so this might just be a decoy base. Or, the Secret Empire might not be the real threat.

But, Simon Williams does find his brother in his lab. Eric Williams aka the Reaper wears a black trenchcoat and a welding mask actually welded to look like a skull, to hide his horrible disfigurement which also caused him to wear a prosthetic hand in place of his destroyed old one.

Simon Williams and Eric Williams fight, which ends with Simon winning by ripping his brother's prosthetic hand off and charging his open wound with electrical energy, killing him. Then, Simon stares at his brother's disfigured face before leaving to regroup with Hawkeye and SHIELD. Simon and Eric remind Hawkeye of him and his own brother, who he was also forced to kill.
