History
They planned to clear the skies of all satellites so that they can exact their master plan. In their efforts, they battle the Avengers and Iron Man. Eventually they succeed in clearing the skies, while the Avengers believe that they wanted to steal information from Stark’s satellite.
The Zodiac later causes a disturbance in Earth’s magnetic field by using the Zodiac Key. The Avengers defeat them and send the Zodiac back to their own galaxy.
Background
The team is based on the original version, which is actually a criminal cartel not aliens. That group was concerned with the Zodiac Key, which is alien in origin.
