The central plot of New World Order revolves around a global conspiracy involving a powerful and shadowy organization, led by the mysterious villain, The Leader (Tim Blake Nelson). The Leader, a character who was teased in The Incredible Hulk (2008), seeks to harness the power of gamma radiation and manipulate world events for his own gain. His actions pose a threat not just to the United States but to global stability, forcing Sam Wilson to step up as a symbol of justice in a world that is increasingly chaotic.
