The Steelskulls were initially shocked by the Avengers' appearance, but after some prodding from the Grim Reaper, they snapped back into formation and attacked the Avengers. The Steelskulls were not match for the Avengers, and were in the process of being overpowered, when Madame Masque sent her robot Inner Guard to join the fight.
