Man, I gotta read that again. Like, how were they killed? Doesn't sound like the Titans killed them...
... ok, looked it up, Vigilante killed the rest. huh.
Okay, let's see...
what made Plastic Man's son, Offspring, a potentially better shapeshifter than dear old dad?

How did Hercules end up on Earth in the first place, before he joined the Avengers?

Didn't Zeus think Herc should learn some humility?

Zeus kicked him out for lazing around? Nopes. In fact, we first see him in mock combat with someone on Olympus, prior to the answer happening. Didn't Zeus think Herc should learn some humility? Nopes. Well, that's bound to have happened at some point. It is Herc. But that's not the reason he went to Earth.

Very close, but not Loki.

Did Ares trick him into fighting Thor? Ares was in on it, and was the one mock fighting Hercules. But there was another who I appeared to them both, to watch their battle, but with other plans... When Hercules reached Earth, all the Avengers were his enemies! Loki is close to the answer.

Paladin has it! The Enchantress appeared on a cross pantheon exchange trip (Ares tells us that he's in league with her, and knows of her exile. Thanks oh god of exposition.) She uses a drugged drink (tsk tsk) to put Hercules under her thrall, and points him at the Avengers.

What story from another medium was adapted separately by Roy Thomas and P. Craig Russell?

Yes! Under the title "The Ring of the Nibelung", Roy Thomas (with Gil Kane on art) and P. Craig Russell adapted Wagner's classic 4 opera cycle. DC published the Thomas/Kane adaptation in 4 Prestige format parts in 1989-90. Dark Horse published Russell's adaptation in 4 miniseries published from 2000-01. Both were eventually collected as hardcovers and/or trades.
I recently acquired both adaptations, a TPB of Russell's and the 4 individual Prestige albums of Thomas/Kane's. I'm currently reading the Russell version and will eventually read the other and see which I like best. I'm definitely a Gil Kane fan, so we'll see....

I didn't realise there were two separate works. The version with Russell's art is the one I associate with it.
The Avengers are facing off against the Squadron Sinister at four locations. Name each location, to help coordinate the heroes!
Captain America vs Nighthawk:
Doctor Spectrum vs Iron Man:
Hyperion vs Thor:
Giant Man vs The Whizzer:
