Criminal mastermind Doctor Octopus formed the next Masters with Absorbing Man, Shocker, Titania, Yellowjacket, Gargantua, Jackhammer, Oddball, Powderkeg, and Puff Adder. This group tried to loot Avengers Mansion during the Infinity War, but were thwarted through the combined efforts of the Avengers staff, the visiting Guardians of the Galaxy and Yellowjacket, who switched sides and soon went on to join the Guardians. The Guardians and Masters were also briefly forced to team up against a horde of doppelgangers spawned by the Infinity War. In the end, half of the Masters were captured and the rest turned on Octopus, forcing him to flee.
