By the year 2000, the numerous deaths and doubles (and deaths of doubles) had made Madame Masque an almost unusable character. Kurt Busiek's continuity-cleaning obsession was the only thing that could save her. Add her ionic-powered father to the mix and you've got reason enough for another Avengers/Thunderbolts jamboree!
The Vision learns of a meeting of all the major Maggia bosses and calls the Avengers in. Grim Reaper who uses Maggia head honcho Madame Masque as a hostage. 'Masque' tells Iron Man "she still loves you and she needs your help" before her head explodes. Reaper escapes in a cloud of smoke. Back at Avengers Mansion, Yellowjacket (Hank Pym)has snuck back with the team after their last mission. His counterpart, Goliath, is having issues with his powers and emotional state...
Avengers #34The Avengers and Thunderbolts lay it on against the omnipotent Count Nefaria who intends using his ionic bomb to grant everyone ionic powers, then rule the world through control or destroy it, regardless. Madame Masque sneaks in with her second, complete Ionic Lock just as the bomb launches. Masque fires the lock at her father, who begins leaking energy. The bomb goes off, but Wonder Man and Atlas chase after it and absorb all the ionic energy. Nefaria follows, but expends too much energy and explodes. The Avengers and T-Bolts part on good terms for once.

Thunderbolts #42
Wonder Man viciously attacks Atlas in a bar and not even the arrival of the other Thunderbolts can stop him flying off with their defeated team-mate. With Jolt having been shot by the all-new Scourge, Moonstone missing and quite possibly insane and Citizen V (Dallas Riordan) in the clutches of the Crimson Cowl, the T-Bolts line-up is looking pitiful. And they haven't eve realised their tech-guy, Ogre, is really Baron Zemo's lackey, the Fixer, in disguise...
Avengers #32
The Black Widow arrives at Avengers Mansion with information on Madame Masque. She's actually the daughter of Count Nefaria and created clones of herself to keep her distance from potential betrayals (Masque is another of those clones introduced during THE CROSSING). Now, Count Nefaria is back from the dead and she's paranoid that he's gunning for her. The Avengers and Grim Reaper learn the location of her desert base and battle it out until Count Nefaria arrives with Atlas and Wonder Man under his control...
Thunderbolts #43
The Black Widow breaks into the Thunderbolts' mountain base and agrees to help Hawkeye investigate Atlas' capture. 'Ogre' helps them locate Zemo's hideout which had recently been raided by Nefaria for the ion generator. Scourge prowls the Thunderbolts' HQ. Andrea Sterman and Windshear investigate Jolt's murder. Citizen V washes up in Latveria. And Moonstone breaks into Pier 4, headquarters of the Fantastic Four.
Avengers #33The Avengers drive Nefaria off with his mind-controlled lackeys in tow. They then capture the Grim Reaper and Madame Masque. The Thunderbolts get in contact when they realise Nefaria is making an ionic bomb...
Moonstone speaks in Kree as she tackles Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman. Andrea Sterman learns the Scourge is funded by the Commission on Superhuman Activities. Scourge sees through Ogre's disguise and goes in for the kill. Captain America and She-Hulk return to the Avengers and join Madame Masque in journeying to Nefaria's castle with the results of her Nefaria Protocols; an Ionic Lock (basically, a huge gun). Mach-2 uses the lock to free Atlas and Wonder Man, but it does nothing against Nefaria...Avengers #34
