Caution: spoilers.
This is a series of animated web specials that follow the events of the TV movie Marvel Rising: Secret Warriors, which itself followed the micro-series Marvel Rising: Initiation. The specials were released in 2019, but I didn't see them until 2025, by which time I didn't really remember the movie. The Secret Warriors are a team of young superheroes led by SHIELD agent Daisy Johnson, aka Quake. They include Rayshaun Lucas, aka Patriot; Doreen Green, aka Squirrel Girl; Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel; Dante Pertuz, aka Inferno; and America Chavez (who doesn't have a superhero name, I guess). The team also includes a giant teleporting dog named Lockjaw.
Chasing Ghosts (22 minutes)

Ghost-Spider is chasing Sheath, the Inhuman who had killed her best friend, Kevin. Sheath is working with another Inhuman named Exile. And the Secret Warriors are chasing both of them. Meanwhile, the police, led by Captain George Stacy, confront Sheath and Exile, as well as Ghost-Spider, who Stacy believes killed Kevin (having no idea that Ghost-Spider is actually his daughter, Gwen). During an all-out battle against Sheath and Exile, Ghost-Spider saves Captain Stacy's life, but he still doesn't trust her. Exile and Sheath are finally apprehended, and Ghost-Spider joins the Secret Warriors. She also calls her dad, having left home weeks ago and not returned any of his calls until now. And that's where the special ends.

Riri Williams is helping the Secret Warriors study a piece of Kree technology in a lab built by Tony Stark, when a Kree named Hala the Accuser shows up to steal the tech. In a battle with the team plus Captain Marvel against Hala, the lab and the Kree tech both get destroyed. Subsequently, Hala steals Riri's Iron Man-inspired suit to use its arc reactor as a power source. She needs it to power a portal that will allow her to return to her home world. Riri teams up with the Secet Warriors to stop her, while Daisy calls for help from Captain Marvel, who doesn't show up right away, having been sent on a wild goose chase off-planet. Hala eventually activates the portal and goes through it, as well as using it to send "anti-plasma" to Earth. The team has to try to stop the anti-plasma, which grows as it eats everything around it. The only way to stop it for good is to destroy the portal, which is being controlled by A.M.I., Riri's AI in her power suit, which Hala had taken control of with a virus. Throughout the episode, we see some flashbacks to Riri's past, and what led her to create her power suit, in the process pushing away her best friend. But in the present, Squirrel Girl convinces her to join the Secret Warriors, and she makes a new power suit, calling herself Ironheart.
