Equipped with special strength-sapping devices, Calley fought alongside the other Secret Empire operatives (Mad Dog, Mutant Force, Leviathan, Seraph, and Harridan) against the Defenders, who were quickly captured. Mad Dog and the Mutant Force fought off the attacking Defenders while the Secret Empire launched a satellite that would start a world war. The satellite exploded, and the Defenders quickly defeated the villains.^[253]

Slither was taken captive aboard the heroes' ship. Nomad, D-Man, and Diamondback were joined by the Falcon. Nomad interrogated Slither brutally. The heroes landed the ship and ran out, leaving Slither tied up aboard.^[254]

When Viper got captured, she was tortured by the Red Skull's agent, the Iron Monger, who broke Viper's leg. The Fangs, armed with guns and jet-packs, rescued Viper. Back at the base, Captain America (Steve Rogers), Battlestar, and Silver Sable attacked. Slither constricted around Sable, who stabbed him with several weapons and left him moaning in pain. The heroes successfully stopped the plot.^[255]
