Acts of Vengeance
During the Acts of Vengeance, Jester gathered a group of villains which included the twin mutants called Fenris, Hydro-Man, Rock, Cloak, Dagger and a robotic Hulk to battle the Avengers at a public forum meeting. The Fenris twins shot a concussive blast at a building structure that blocked an exit and a number of civilians couldn’t escape because there was too much rubble. Cloak and Dagger turned on Jester and decided to help the Avengers. The Wasp and Dagger would help escort the civilians as they enter the dark dimension through Cloak. The Predator emerged from the darkness and Wasp tried to shoot it with her stinger blasts but it had no effect. Wasp would help Dagger guide her hands so she could shoot her light knives at the Predator and the creature ran away.
