(Avengers#284-285) - When Zeus attempted to destroy the Avengers for injuries Hercules had suffered while serving with them, Hera conspired with Prometheus to heal Hercules' injuries so that he could explain the Avengers' innocence to Zeus. Hera brought the Wasp to safety, and had Hermes bring Captain America and Dr. Druid to Prometheus for healing. Thanks to Hera's efforts, Zeus was finally able to see his error, and forbade Olympians from journeying to earth in the future.
