Assault on Galactus!
As Galactus begins to drain the energy from Battleworld to feed his own insatiable hunger, the X-Men assault him atop his mountain fastness. The god-like alien’s defenses are formidable so the X-Men make no headway. Meanwhile, the other heroes, summoned by Professor X, are en route from Doombase. On the journey, Hulk despairs over his decreasing intelligence, Ben Grimm returns to his Thing form, Jim Rhodes vows to prove himself as the new Iron Man, Spider-Man shows off his new black costume, and Reed Richards despairs of seeing his wife and children ever again. Arriving at the mountain, they join in the fight against Galactus and Iron Man manages to penetrate the defenses and damage his energy-draining device. Reed then startles everyone by pleading with them to not stop Galactus: if he wins the battle, he will achieve the goal of being freed from his hunger resulting in countless worlds being saved. Suddenly Reed vanishes along with Galactus and he finds himself in an audience with the alien aboard his ship; Galactus has a message for him….
Meanwhile, at Doombase, Doctor Doom has recovered from his injuries and releases Klaw from his prison to be dissected as part of his scheme….
Reed returns to the heroes and explains the situation: if they agree to sacrifice themselves and die so Galactus can "win" the contest and be freed of his hunger, countless worlds will be saved (exactly as Reed explained several pages earlier). The other two FF members side with him, but the majority of the heroes prefer to fight to stop Galactus the good old-fashioned way. The assault on their target does not go well, even when they are joined by Reed, who decided that he would like to see his family again. Galactus makes to abandon his device and depart and Reed warns them not to let the alien escape. The machine does not give Galactus the ability to absorb energy but merely makes it more convenient, therefore Galactus is still a threat. The alien ascends to his ship (as there is really nothing anyone can do to stop him) and proceeds to devour his own ship, to gain the strength to begin on the planet….
But at Doombase, Doom has converted the solidified sound that was Klaw into a series of lenses designed to absorb the released energy into himself….

The War Begins
Zsaji and the other villagers stand aghast, staring at the rubble that was once the headquarters of the heroes. None of them could have survived Doctor Doom’s devastating strike….
In the Denver suburb enclosed in a dome and hurtling through space, the Enchantress conjures up a water elemental from the bathtub in Volcana’s apartment. From it she learns the story of the Beyonder, how he discovered our universe by accident and set out to study the human emotion of desire; to that end he created Battleworld and assembled the various characters for the secret war—and Enchantress knows the rest. The elemental adds one last detail: the Beyonder is not dead but remains close by Doom. Out in the apartment, the Lizard becomes restless from his close contact with humans and Dr. Octopus challenges Molecule Man’s leadership of the group. As the two villains face off, Enchantress lures Volcana off to a secluded park where she exacts the price for her earlier favor to the fiery villainess (issue #7): the goddess plans to drain Volcana of her life-energy to boost her own power so she can return to Asgard and warn them of the danger posed by Doom. Volcana, of course, will not survive the operation. After Molecule Man defeats Doc Ock in battle, he notices Volcana is missing; the Lizard tracks her for him and they confront the sorceress in the park, interrupting the ceremony. Enchantress teleports back to Battleworld (the closest destination) just as the Lizard leaps on her and they both end up on the remote planet. She knocks him down and incinerates him, draining the life energy from his corpse in hopes of getting to Asgard….
At Doom’s tower, the now omnipotent dictator fears falling asleep because of what he might do unconsciously. Klaw spins for him a scenario in which the heroes might have been restored to life: Zsaji went to investigate the scene of the disaster and found Colossus clinging to life, having switched to his armored form at the last second. She used all her powers to heal him but the exertion killed her. Colossus then found Mr. Fantastic still alive due to the elastic nature of his body and put him in one of the cell-regenerators, restoring him to health. Then Reed used the same devices to resurrect all the others, and they are on their way to confront Doom even now…. Doom recoils at the idea, though Klaw suggests he may have made this happen subconsciously. The mad servitor nags his master into a frenzy and just as Doom convinces himself that the heroes are certainly dead…
…Thor’s hammer bursts through the wall. Doom panics and his powers run amok destroying worlds. Klaw offers to deal with the heroes for him if Doom will only give him a little of his power. Doom complies and empowers the sonic villain. As the heroes arrive for combat, Klaw conjures up an army of weird monsters and restores Ultron as their leader. During the furious battle that follows, Thing discovers he can control his transformations to Ben Grimm, Wasp destroys Ultron from inside, and Captain America, his shield broken, makes it into the stronghold to confront Doom. The villain atomizes the hero, who is instantly reborn, then again, and Doom, wrestling with his own fears, collapses in panic and his power goes out of control. As Cap tries to anchor the mad villain’s unstable mind, the energy burst which has possessed Klaw for some time, departs from his body and, revealing itself to be the Beyonder, reclaims his power from Doom. Doom is restored to his original form and the Beyonder departs, taking Doom and Klaw with him….
The heroes return to the village where they bury Zsaji (the scenario described by "Klaw" earlier was apparently brought into reality subconsciously by Doom as he listened to it). The heroes undergo first aid and Curt Connors enters the hall, left behind when the Enchantress absorbed the Lizard’s energy. Lockheed returns with a female dragon friend. Reed theorizes that the building is programmed to fulfill wishes so Cap tests it and his shield is indeed repaired. Reed creates a device to teleport them back to the alien ship the Beyonder used to transport them to this planet and from there they can return to Earth. Reed sends them back in groups, but gets a surprise: Thing chooses to remain on the planet, with She-Hulk taking his place in the Fantastic Four, so he can think things through in solitude. They leave the device with him for when he decides to return and say goodbye.

Invasion
The heroes attack Doombase in retaliation for the murder of Wasp and to rescue She-Hulk. The villains make short work of Shulkie and turn to face their foes. A series of thrilling duels result: Iron Man vs. the Wrecker, Spider-Woman vs. Absorbing Man, Hawkeye vs. Piledriver, Spider-Man vs. Titania, and more. Thing finds himself turning into Ben Grimm at the worst moment and Hulk is hypnotized by the Enchantress; not to worry, Captain America punches her lights out. Volcana battles furiously to protect the wounded Molecule Man but the heroes back down when they learn of his perilous condition. Human Torch exhausts himself destroying Ultron with a nova blast and Cap enters Doom’s lair to find the supervillain a wreck after his fall from space (last issue). The heroes mop up the villains, locking the healthy in cells and encasing the wounded, along with the gravely injured She-Hulk, in cell-regenerators. As they plan a hero’s funeral for the fallen Wasp, Colossus, back at the village, learns by reading Zsaji’s mind that Janet was merely in a deep coma and she is now healed, though doing this has left Zsaji in a coma. Wasp causes a shock for Captain Marvel and Hawkeye when they see her alive and moving. Spider-Man is told that there is a machine that can repair his damaged costume and he goes in search of it. Finding what he thinks is the right device, he receives a small black glob of matter which quickly spreads over his body, turning his costume black with a white insignia. Then Professor X broadcasts the message that Galactus has begun to devour the planet….

A Little Death...
Wasp, escaping from Magneto’s lair in a stolen aircraft, crashlands nears a swamp. She tries to make her way through the fen only to be attacked by the Lizard….
Aboard, Galactus’ starship, Doctor Doom detects a vibratory energy moving through the walls and uses the ship’s technology to reconstitute it into the villain Klaw. The master of sound, driven insane by his experiences, explains how he was absorbed by Dazzler (during their battle in DAZZLER #9) and inadvertently released aboard this ship during her confrontation with Galactus (issues #10-11). Doom searches for a means of delaying Galactus’ preparations to absorb the planet they are on; he teleports Klaw into the midst of the villains with orders for his lackeys….
At Magneto’s fortress, Professor X worries about the X-Men’s distrust of their host. He reconnoiters telepathically and discovers that the Enchantress has mystically sealed the villains’ minds against his prying. Xavier learns enough to dispatch Cyclops and a team to counter a move of Doom’s elsewhere on the planet. This prompts an angry Storm to question his seizing of the reins of leadership from her at a critical time. He demands to be obeyed and she is insulted, though she goes along…for now….
In the alien village, Colossus is torn between his love for Kitty and his growing attraction to Zsaji. When the lovely healer comes to minister to him, he tries to confess his love for her but the Human Torch swoops down and snatches her off for a romantic tryst. Meanwhile, Captain America and the others are plotting strategy to stop Galactus from devouring the planet, while the rest of the heroes are preparing for the disaster as best they can….
Cyclops, Rogue, and Wolverine arrive at the volcanic area to see a squad of bad guys on a mission for Doom. A battle breaks out and Molecule Man is wounded by Wolverine. The villains flee while the heroes wonder what their purpose in the area was. Cyclops, testing a hunch, fires a beam into an active volcano and discovers he has started a chain reaction of eruptions, probably part of a scheme by Doom to stop Galactus from devouring the planet….
Back in the swamp, Wasp has realized that the Lizard is wounded and just wants to be left alone; she offers to help him. As they reach a sort of accord, she is suddenly shot through the chest by a laser beam; the Wrecking Crew arrives in an alien battlewagon and captures the Lizard, on order of Doctor Doom….
At the village, the heroes just watch and wait, unaware they are being spied upon from the shadows….

The War Begins
A number of superheroes suddenly find themselves in a space station in a remote region of the galaxy and floating nearby is the craft’s twin containing several supervillains. The most puzzling aspect for the heroes is the presence of Magneto among them. As the two parties watch, this entire galaxy is destroyed in seconds, and a new planet is formed near the last remaining star. On the villains’ ship, Ultron pursues his purpose to destroy every living thing with an attack on Absorbing Man. Doctor Doom appeals to Molecule Man as the only one with the power to stop him. Molecule Man, reformed from evil and insecure about his powers, flips Ultron into Galactus’ leg, bringing the robot to the attention of the cosmic being. Galactus drains Ultron of all his energy, leaving him an empty adamantium shell.
A rift opens in space and the voice of the Beyonder addresses them, telling them to slay their enemies and he will grant them their hearts’ desires. Galactus, irritated at this interference in his life, launches himself across the void to confront his enemy—and Doctor Doom follows in his wake, hoping to escape and also learn the secrets of the universe. They are swatted back to their craft like flies. The two ships are deposited on different areas of the newly created planet. Among the heroes, a dispute breaks out over whether Magneto can be trusted, which the Master of Magnetism settles by levitating away. After more argument, they agree on Captain America as their leader.
Doctor Doom awakens near the unconscious form of Galactus and heads to a nearby citadel which the villains have occupied as a base. They want Doom to be their leader, but Doom disdains their petty ambitions of wealth and power, instead seeking to gain the Beyonder’s secrets of knowledge and immortality. Doom holds the baddies off with his force bolts, choosing to head off to contact Reed Richards in a small ship. A bitter Kang uses one of the citadel’s weapons to shoot down Doom’s craft. The heroes investigate the crash and find the injured Doom ranting about power. They try to help him but Doom is insulted by their pity, drives them back with his blasts, and leaves. Moments later, the heroes are under attack by the villains, wielding weapons supplied by the Beyonder….

Situation: Hopeless!
The victorious villains detonate explosives, destroying the heroes’ citadel. They spy the heroes regrouping on a nearby plain and Molecule Man exerts his powers to pick up an entire mountain range and drop it on them. Meanwhile, miles away, Thor and the Enchantress are speaking immortal-to-immortal and as she lures him into a kiss, the ground shakes from the impact of the mountain range and they return to find the villains standing over the wreckage of the citadel. Doctor Doom explains the fate of his comrades and demands that Thor, as the last surviving hero, surrender. The Thunder God refuses and attacks against the odds, causing havoc among his foes until Ultron blasts him with a disintegrator beam, leaving only his helmet and shredded cape behind. Their next mission is to wipe out the X-Men but first Doom has some unfinished business: vengeance against Kang, who tried to kill him (issue #1)—so he has Ultron destroy the time-traveling villain.
Elsewhere, the X-Men arrive at Magneto’s fortress, where the Master of Magnetism is playing gracious host to Wasp. Professor X suggests forming an alliance independent of Captain America’s group, and Magneto outlines his plan: rather than a defensive action like Cap and his team, Magneto proposes attacking and destroying the villains, and, if they object, the other heroes. This way they can use the Beyonder’s powers to create a golden age for mutants on Earth. Wasp, who was just playing along with Magneto until she learned his true aims, takes her leave, fighting off the X-Men on the way. Making her way to the landing bay she hijacks a small ship and heads for the heroes’ citadel to warn them; Magneto intends to destroy the ship with her in it, but Professor X stops him, pleading that they must not use such means to further their ends.
But what of the heroes? Beneath the massive mountain range, they are safe, as the Hulk is holding up the entire mountain to provide them a small area of safety. Mr. Fantastic rigs up an energy converter from Spider-Man’s web-shooters so that the power of Captain Marvel and the Human Torch can be channeled into Iron Man’s armor, enabling him to blast his way out. Thor, who escaped from the villains in a flash of lightning while Ultron was trying to disintegrate him, was on the outside trying to smash his way in. Captain Marvel flies off to gather food and medical supplies and discovers a small village inhabited by an alien race. The heroes are brought to the village where at first the inhabitants are afraid of them, but a lovely young woman, the local healer, persuades her comrades to help them. Ben Grimm spontaneously turns back into the Thing, and while Reed is bemoaning their plight, he is shocked to see what Galactus is doing….

Prisoners of War
Taken completely by surprise, the heroes are devastated by the enemy attack, with many falling before the villains’ concussion weapons. The remaining heroes swiftly organize a counter attack and drive off their enemies, taking some prisoner.
Doctor Doom tries to contact the now-recovered Galactus, but the cosmic giant does not even notice him. Doom heads to the villains’ fortress and prepares a surprise for them on their return….
The heroes occupy a nearby city as their base and a search reveals a humane prison section and a healing device which they use to keep their prisoners calm and healthy. Captain America then draws up a strategy for this battle, setting up patrols and a watch system.
Elsewhere, Magneto has established his own fortress, meditating on the sense of destiny he feels….
The fleeing villains return to their base to find Doctor Doom in charge, with Ultron, revived as a mindless machine under his control, serving as enforcer of his commands. The baddies submit to his authority and Doom is especially solicitous of the mild-mannered Molecule Man, easily the most powerful among them due to his ability to affect matter itself. The others do not trust Doom, however.
That night, as the heroes deal with their fears of never seeing loved ones on Earth again, Magneto steals into their headquarters and sabotages their power generation to bring them to him. As the heroes arrive, the villain fights them off and encloses Wasp (the Avengers’ leader) in a ball of metal and makes off with her. Thing attempts to grab the ball back but he suddenly reverts to his Ben Grimm form and Magneto gets away. Another concern of the heroes is that none of the X-Men showed up to fight Magneto. Mr. Fantastic gives them something bigger to worry about: Galactus, standing immobile on a mountaintop, planning some mysterious move….

On Battleworld, the heroes stand in awe as Galactus has summoned the solar-system-sized space station he calls home. The inhabitants of the alien village panic and Johnny Storm comforts the beautiful woman healer.

Molecule Man changes his foe’s costume to a hard metallic substance trapping him, then he summons a flying chariot and takes his leave with Volcana. Then the villains see the arrival of Galactus’ craft. Elsewhere Doctor Doom is contemplating the same spectacle when the Enchantress, fearing death, offers the dictator many enticements to work with her to find a means of escape. Doom, not trusting the immortal seductress, rebuffs her and sends her away….
Elsewhere both Mr. Fantastic and Magneto try to communicate with Galactus but the god-like being merely brushes them off. He releases a huge fighting robot to deal with the annoying heroes, and it takes them quite a lot of effort and teamwork to neutralize the massive threat. The villains seize this opportunity to attack the distracted heroes and things look bleak for them until the sudden arrival of the X-Men coming to the rescue. After the villains are driven off by the mutant heroes’ attacks, the X-Men are also ordered to leave thought the wounded Colossus has been left behind (since his injuries made it dangerous to move him). Zsaji heals them all with her magic touch and now Colossus is falling for her. Meanwhile, Galactus is assembling a massive piece of technology and Reed fears it will be used to devour the planet’s energy, destroying them all, and allowing Galactus to win the Beyonder’s game….
On Galactus’ space station, Doctor Doom, who transported himself there during the distraction of the battle, tours the structure, seeking a way to claim Galactus’ power for his own, then that of the Beyonder….

(Many Stories)
Invited to the quarters of the enigmatic Mister Buda, Captain America arrives to find his host in suspended animation inside an energy pyramid. As Cap watches, Buda’s astral form returns to his body and he steps from the pyramid and greets his guest warmly. He informs Cap that he can view his country with a universal eye, his destiny and duty will it. Cap is annoyed by this mystical nonsense and storms out of the room—into a Nazi fortress during the War. He finds Bucky being interrogated under the personal supervision of Adolf Hitler and rushes to his rescue, knocking out the Red Skull and Der Fuhrer and leaping out of a window with his partner. Cap and Bucky are separated in the woods and Cap suddenly stumbles back into Mister Buda’s home. The mystic explains that the universe has many doors and Cap opened the wrong one and he tries to persuade Cap to journey among them to gain insight into himself. Cap politely declines and leaves, unaware that Buda has pressed a psycho-talisman into his palm when they shook hands. Chapter Two: “The Lost Super-Hero!” – Leaving the building, Captain America hails a cab and notices the talisman on his glove…which suddenly hurls him through time and space to Colonial Philadelphia, where his unusual costume causes a stir. Cap meets Benjamin Franklin who invites him into his printing shop. Betsy Ross soon arrives and decides to pattern the American flag after the strange visitor’s colorful designs. Cap is shocked by the time paradox and runs into the street…where he is approached by a homeless man who steers Cap to a soup kitchen, assuming the hero to be an out-of-work actor. Cap realizes he is now in the Great Depression and strikes up a conversation with a paperboy. Moments later, a gangster in a limo buys a paper from the lad and knocks the boy down instead of paying. Angered, Cap manhandles the mobster and uses his shield to protect the boy from the ensuing hail of bullets. The police arrive and nab the hood and Cap finds himself being pulled elsewhere….

Cap eludes capture but willingly meets with the native leader, Geronimo. Cap tries to persuade Geronimo to settle matters peacefully with the Cavalry.

Geronimo orders his men to head for the Mexican border, while Cap tries to stop the pursuing Army, shouting “There is another way! We're all Americans!” Cap is suddenly hurled elsewhere—to find himself trapped in a collapsed coal mine with several workers. Using his enhanced strength and shield, Cap manages to break through the blockage but when the miners follow moments later, there is no sign of their mysterious rescuer…. Chapter Four: “Stop Here for Glory!” – Captain America is in the cockpit of a World War I biplane, under attack by an enemy flier; his brilliant maneuvering enables him to lead his foe into a deadly crash but Cap’s own plane is headed straight for an observation balloon.

Buda tells him that it will vanish by itself when its work is done, which is obviously not yet. Cap suddenly materializes in a boxing ring with the great John L. Sullivan and find it takes all his strength to defeat the champ, when the match is suddenly raided by the police, since boxing was still illegal at this time. Cap then discovers that he has shifted again and finds a gun to his head. Here he is helping a runaway slave and they have just been caught by bounty hunters. Cap lectures them on human rights but the gang plots to lynch him. A sudden gunshot from a watching farm boy startles the slavers, giving Cap the opportunity to beat them with the help of the slave. As the two part, the black man is surprised when Cap call him “friend.” The farm boy tells his father what happened, and the father, John Brown, decides to act to end the evils of slavery in the nation.… Cap rides away only to be thrown from his horse in the desert…where he is found by a pair of 1940s era military men, who bring him along to witness the first atom bomb test. When the mushroom cloud fades, Cap is gone from the bunker but still engulfed in flames…he is in Chicago during the Great Fire of 1871. The hero swings into action, rescuing those in danger and guiding refugees to the river. When a man falls into the river, Cap leaps in to save him…only to be drawn down to the bottom of the ocean where he escapes a shark and is saved from drowning by divers from an undersea research lab. He fades away only to return to the presence of Mister Buda. Cap tells him he has seen the America he has always known, a nation of good and bad, with nothing more to see. Buda disagrees and transports Cap to the surface of the moon. Chapter Five: “The Face of the Future!” – A confused Captain America discovers he is on the moon, dressed in a space suit. Suddenly, two unidentified armies pass by engaged in a firefight with high-tech weaponry. Cap realizes he is in the future and that America is at war in space.

Walking through the studio he is spotted by a producer who makes him the centerpiece of an overblown patriotic musical number…until Cap, disgusted with the phony display, calls out to Mister Buda to rescue him. Back in the presence of the mystic, Cap demands to know what is it that unites all Americans? Buda takes him on a little journey, first, calming him by listening to a fiddler playing folk music, then stopping by a ghetto to see a poor man studying to improve himself, and finally leaving him with a group of children before vanishing. As he is surrounded by the adoring children of all races and backgrounds, Captain America realizes that the essence of America is a confidence, a hope, and a dream of making one’s life meaningful.

The Fatal Effects of Virus X!
Exposed to the deadly Virus X in his fight against A.I.M.
last issue, Ben “the Thing” Grimm is feeling the effects as he walks through
New York. A trio of punks spies him and decides they can make their reputations
by defeating him. They pursue Ben to an alley where they attack him, wielding
bats and chains. But they were seen by Steve Rogers, who dons his Captain America
togs and whups the tar out of them. He helps Ben return to the Baxter
Building. There, Reed Richards and Giant-Man (Bill Foster) examine Ben under a
Bio-Scanner, trying to determine what is wrong with him. Only Cap knows that
Bill Foster is secretly dying from radiation poisoning while working to save
Ben. Thing starts to mutate, his rocky skin swelling up; he flies into a rage,
all his years of pent-up anger at Fate’s turning him into a monster coming to a
head. Reed and Cap manage to calm him down while Reed examines the sample of
Virus X….
Ben decides to go for a spin in his Sky-Cycle and Giant-Man
offers to join him, giving him a helping hand in return for Ben’s having helped
him in a similar situation….
Cap, reasoning that A.I.M. would have an antidote for Virus
X, rides across town atop a city bus, then leaps through the window of a
counterfeiting organization. In four seconds, Cap has overpowered all of the
crooks, forcing them to reveal where A.I.M.’s secret hideout is located….
At A.I.M.’s secret base in the Antarctic Circle, a
blue-suited scientist brings a message to MODOK (who is testing Virus X to
confirm that it is always fatal to humans) that Captain America is searching
for their base. Knowing Cap will succeed, MODOK orders an appropriate reception
for him….
Thing and Giant-Man arrive at the secret spaceport where the
Fantastic Four had their start. He recounts their origin in cosmic rays and his
own transformation into the Thing. Bill realizes the depth of Ben’s bitterness,
dwarfing his own self-pity; Bill offers a few words of encouragement. Then they
receive a call from Cap…
…to join him in the assault on an A.I.M. base where they
take down all of the Agents and head to the transmat station which they use to
teleport themselves to the Antarctic base. On arrival, they are surrounded by
MODOK and an army of Agents with guns drawn. MODOK has a Synthezoid patterned
after the Thing and refuses to let them have the antidote for Virus X. While
Ben fights the Synthezoid and Cap takes on the armed Agents, Giant-Man heads
for the lab and forces the scientists to turn over the antidote. An explanation
of how it works leads Bill to realize that it could also cure his own radiation
sickness. Ben clobbers the Synthezoid, sending it crashing through the wall
which, since they are below sea level, lets the ocean come rushing in to
destroy the base. The three heroes jump on the transmat platform and escape to
the Baxter Building. On the way the hypo gun was damaged and there is only one
dose of the antidote left. Hesitating only briefly, Bill uses it on Ben, who
returns to his own Thingly appearance. Bill walks away in despair, considering
Ben a real hero who deserved to be cured instead of a second-rate loser like
himself….

Battle in Burbank!
The Thing is watching THE INCREDIBLE HULK TV series at the Baxter Building and he’s pretty disgusted. It’s bad enough that the Hulk gets a series when he doesn't but the discovery that Jade Jaws gets the girl in the end is enough to make him put his foot through the television set! The noise brings the other members of the Fantastic Four running. After listening to his ranting they suggest he take his complaint to the show’s producer—so he leaves for Hollywood. Meanwhile in Tinseltown, a trio of crooks plots to kidnap Karen Page, just announced as the Hulk’s million-dollar co-star. Mean-meanwhile, Bruce Banner, seeking shelter in a small Nevada town, comes upon a TV shop where he learns that there is a TV series based on his monstrous alter ego. The offense to his decency causes him to turn into the Hulk and head for Hollywood himself. At the Miracle Pictures studios the next day, Ben gets directions to the producer's office from a sour little duck, who introduces himself as kiddie show star Uncle Waddles and offers Ben a job as a clown on his program. Ben meets with producer Joseph L. Jusko as Karen arrives to sign her contract. Outside, the Hulk arrives in a total rage and tears his way through the back lot looking for those responsible for the insulting Hulk show. As the three kidnappers nab Karen in the outer office, the Hulk smashes into the inner office and decides the Thing is his nemesis. The two man-monsters belt each other through the studio with Jusko and the kidnappers barely able to keep out of their way. On the set of an ancient Greek epic, Hulk brings down the massive temple set on everyone’s heads, with only the Thing’s strength and reflexes allowing him to use the building’s roof as a shield. Guards arrive to take away the crooks, Hulk leaves with a threat to return if the show does not improve, and Karen decides to take a role on a soap opera instead. This leaves only Ben, and Jusko sends him off with a promise that they will come up with a great idea for a show he can star in… A week later, Ben gets the storyboards in the mail: it’s a proposal for a sit-com called “Thing in the Family” with Ben wearing Rob Reiner’s wig and mustache. He shreds the script and wonders if Uncle Waddles’ offer is still open.

The Day the World Winds Down
In the Everglades, the megalomaniacal Victorius relates his history to the captured heroes: as Victor Conrad, he had developed a super-soldier serum for A.I.M. Injecting himself with it he became Victorius and battled Ka-Zar, resulting in an apparent fall to his death. Recovering, he fell in with the Cult of Entropy and now with the Cosmic Cube he has resurrected their dead leader into Jude, the Entropic Man, to spread their message of decay to the world. An enraged Thing leaps at Victorius and is blasted into unconsciousness by the Cosmic Cube. Captain America challenges his enemy to battle without the Cosmic Cube; Victorius proves to be a match for the super-soldier. Meanwhile, the Man-Thing, attracted by the strong emotions, emerges from the swamp and reaches out and takes the floating Cube. The Entropic Man, bored with the futility of the battle, hypnotizes Cap into adopting his nihilistic principles and beckons him into entering his cloak, which is the gateway to emptiness. Thing leaps forward and hurls Cap out of the way and is drawn into the Entropic Man’s cloak himself—and emerges as the normal Ben Grimm. The two heroes argue with Victorius in favor of life and the human spirit, causing Jude to reconsider his mission. Victorius spies Man-Thing and tries to wrest the Cube from the monster. Jude decides that life prevails in this realm and that those who seek entropy must do so of their volition. As Jude touches Victorius to take him away, the touch of entropy fills the villain with fear—and whatever knows fear burns at the Man-thing’s touch! The ensuing explosion turns Ben back into the Thing, Victorius and Jude are transformed into crystal, and the Cosmic Cube is drained of power. Cap and Ben head back to New York, and the Man-Thing touches the crystal, and its hand is restored to its human form. As the muck monster tries to remember what that signifies, it walks back into the swamp slowly reverting to muck again.

Visiting Hours!
The Thing, Ben Grimm, is in the hospital recovering from a couple of grueling adventures. His chief misery is the strict Nurse Hasselbutt, who forbids him to have beer or cigars and ejects his more boisterous visitors. Elsewhere the sinister Mad Thinker concludes that this is the day of the Thing’s doom, as one of his enemies is bound to attack him in the hospital. Sure enough, Spider-Man swings by to see Ben just as the Mecho-Marauder arrives at the hospital’s front door. Spidey clobbers the villain but is thrown out by the bossy nurse. Mirage enters the lobby, only to be beaten by Daredevil; Thor takes out the Mole Man and his minions, Ant Man defeats Shellshock, Captain America smacks down the Grapplers; Iron Man stops the Hijacker’s war machine, etc. Soon, Doctor Doom recruits a veritable army of supervillains to assault the hospital in force, while all the heroes in town assemble to confront them. As a massive pitched battle occupies the streets surrounding the hospital, the bored Thing looks up to see that one villain has made it into his room: the Sandman, and he’s bearing…beer and cigars. The baddie is grateful for Ben’s help in straightening out his life and is repaying the favor in the best way he knows how. The two former enemies bond over the brew and stogies, while ignoring the entire ruckus outside.

The Stalker in the Sands
In Israel’s Negev Desert, Tony Stark is planning the test launch of a spacecraft called Pattycake One, piloted by Ben “The Thing” Grimm, the man most likely to walk away from an accident. Because of the heat exhaust, the ship is being fired from a silo. The firing button is pushed, the ship takes off—but there’s no sign of it on the radar. Tony initiates a search….But there was a cavern beneath the silo and the ship crashed through to the underground. Ben pulls himself from the wreckage, grumbling. He spies a light ahead in the cave and goes to investigate and receives a shock….Deducing that the ship must have gone down, Iron Man flies into the silo and discovers Ben on his knees before a strange knight calling himself Prester John. John assumes Thing and Iron Man are some sort of demons and he wields his Stone of Power to force Shellhead to his knees beside Ben. Prester John clues them in on his history: he was a knight of King Richard I and slept in a cavern for seven hundred years until he was awakened by the Human Torch and Wyatt Wingfoot. John then wandered and was taken for a god by a tribe of Bedouins who presented him with their sacred Stone of Power. The Stone made him think he really was the god-creator of all things so the Stone wiped out the tribe by opening the ground beneath them but Prester John fell in too. The two heroes’ arrival wakened him and now he is leaving to claim the outer world which belongs to him. Iron Man suspects a shock to the nervous system could free them so he blasts Ben in the head with a repulsor ray; Ben gets up and responds by punching Iron Man in the head. Thus freed, they pursue Prester John….At the Pattycake One test site, Thing and Iron Man battle John whose strength as well as his madness are greatly enhanced by the Stone. In the fracas, Ben yanks the Stone of Power from about his foe’s neck and hurls it into the distance where it disappears. Prester John is instantly released from his delusions and asks to join his two rescuers in a quest for a meal….

Seven against the Empire!
New York, 3014: The Zoms deliver their unconscious prisoners—Thing,
Captain America, and Sharon Carter—to their Badoon overlords. The leader Drang
questions them but Cap awakens and insists he is a free man. So they employ the
Memory Probe, a dome placed over Cap’s head which displays on a large screen a
recap of last issue. Caught up on the plot, the baddies decide that these
heroes from the past must be executed immediately. But Thing, now awake,
punches out the big monster, knocking it into a machine where it is
electrocuted (but doesn’t die). Ben, Cap, and Sharon fight their way out of the
palace, past Zoms and Badoon soldiers, but they realize they are vastly
outnumbered and so flee down an alley where they find a hiding place….
Meanwhile, Tarin is trying to convince Zakkor, leader of the
resistance, that the real Captain America is there but Zakkor is understandably
skeptical. Then a messenger enters with a recording of Cap, Ben, and Sharon
fighting the bad guys and Z is convinced so he contacts the Guardians of the Galaxy
in space. Zakkor shows the Guardians (Vance Astro, Yondu, Charlie-27,
Martinex) the recording of Cap and the others in action so Astro sets a course
to take their ship back to Earth at full speed….
In Manhattan, Ben, Cap, and Sharon are finally located by
the Badoon but the Guardians arrive in the nick of time and there’s a battle in
which the heroes triumph. Vance Astro tells Cap how they met back in 1972 when
Astro was a kid; he explains that he was an astronaut in suspended animation
for hundreds of years and now he is kept alive by his copper foil suit. Then
Tarin, Zakkor, and the other resistance fighters join them and they invade the
palace and take on the Badoon. Thing and Charlie-27 defeat the big monster with
their combined strength. The resistance is victorious, they realize they have
only recaptured one city but it’s a start. Cap gives them a pep talk and the
three heroes go to the meeting place just in time for Reed Richards to bring
them home with the time machine….

docks. He has Martins notify SHIELD….
At
the lair of the villain Machinesmith, Thing is held captive on an X-shaped
force-bar while the Yancy Street Gang is pinned to a nearby wall. When Thing
tries to pull himself off of the force-bar, waves of pain run through the Yancy
Streeters, quashing plans of escape. Machinesmith places an alpha-headset on
Ben’s head which allows the villain to control him totally, demonstrated when
he releases Ben from the force-bar. He enunciates his plan to use Thing to gain
control of Reed Richards’ fantastic inventions so he can take over the
Corporation. And the Corporation has ordered MS to use the mind-controlled
Thing to destroy their enemy Jack of Hearts…
…who
is arriving at the rendezvous at the docks. He boards Machinesmith’s boat and
is beset by robots. Jack clobbers them all and is then attacked by Thing,
confusing him as he had always seen Ben as a good guy. The fight continues….
Machinesmith
orders his men to abandon this base and set it to self-destruct. A low-level
henchman heads for the controls but passes too close to the Yancy Streeters,
one of whom snags the hood around the neck with his legs and hurls him into he
control panel, shorting it out and freeing the Yancy Street Gang who
immediately start throwing punches with Machinesmith’s men….
On
the deck, Jack spots the headset on Thing’s noggin and assumes that his
opponent is just a robot built to resemble the Thing so he blasts Ben with full
power from one hand, knocking him out but also destroying the alpha-headset.
Machinesmith witnesses this and immediately switches to an alternate plan of
either learning the secret of the Zero Fluid or putting an alpha-headset on Jack.
But then he is interrupted by the Yancy Street Gang who have just defeated his
gang and they knock him cold. The Gang, thinking Thing is dead and start
speaking kindly of him but then their longtime nemesis walks in, hale and
hearty, and they go back to their usual relationship. Jack looks over

Death-Song of Destiny!

Doctor Strange and Clea are on a Manhattan subway platform with several other people:
a drunk named Alvin Denton, two punks, Nick Cromer and Duff Coogan, a young
couple, Sheldon and Renee Goldenberg, plus a young girl playing a harmonica.
When she stops, the punks harass her and take the harmonica, accidentally
pushing her onto the track as a train comes in. She calls to Strange to rescue
the harmonica and he does, snatching it from the bully’s hand. And then the
train hits the girl and she explodes in a shower of colorful sparks. Strange
races home to investigate the mystery of the harmonica inscribed “Celestia”….
The
Thing is woken up a by a phone call in the middle of the night; it’s his
childhood caretaker, Mrs. Coogan, asking his help with something that happened
to her grandson (one of the punks from the subway platform). Ben races over to
hear the kid’s tale….
At
the Sanctum Sanctorum, Dr. Strange uses the Eye of Agamotto to call up the girl
who reveals herself to be a manifestation of Destiny. She also mentions that
the people on the platform that night will have their destinies changed and
only new actions can alter it. Strange flies over to the Goldenberg’s house to
discover that Sheldon’s face has disappeared; he casts a spell that convinces
the Goldenbergs it was just a dream and Sheldon interprets it as  his fear of losing his identity in an office
job and he determines to follow his dream of writing a book….
Ben
hears Duff Coogan’s story and goes outside to ponder it. He discovers his
aero-car has been graffitied by the Yancy Street Gang and loses his temper. Dr.
Strange arrives and the two find they are on the same case. Nearby, a rat
suddenly grows to giant-size and snatches Duff Cooper out of his window. As
Thing fights the rat, Strange tells Duff the rat is a manifestation of his
despair at being trapped in the slums and only he can overcome that. Duff mans
up and curses the rat which enables Ben to clobber it for good. Strange takes
Ben home to see the harmonica but Clea tells him that she gave it to Valkyrie
who said Dr. Strange had sent her for it….

Entropy, Entropy…
An enraged Thing comes bursting through the walls of the secret Project Pegasus facility in upstate New York. Plowing though the guards, Ben comes face to face with Captain America who manages to dodge his powerful opponent until he can throw a switch sealing Thing inside a bubble-like force field. Once Ben has calmed down Cap releases him. Cap gives Ben a tour explaining that the purpose of the top-secret project is to explore alternate sources of energy; Cap is there by request of Nick Fury to look after some security problems. While there, Ben spots Dr. Thomas Lightner (the villain from MTIO #21) and his suspicions are aroused. Ben’s purpose there is that he learned that Wundarr, the superpowerful yet childlike alien who considers Ben his protector, is being used as a guinea pig for weird experiments. Cap is uncomfortable too, but assures Ben they have promised to cure Wundarr’s stunted mental growth as he helps them unlock the secrets of the Cosmic Cube. When they bring Wundarr into the exam room, he bursts his bonds and it takes Ben’s comfort and assurance to calm the boy down. Wundarr’s mental energy is used to power the Cube for the scientists but Lightner sabotages the project causing an energy feedback to injure the boy. Cap pursues the villain, who seizes the Cube and teleports himself to the Florida Everglades. There he joins the cult of the Entropists and unmasks himself as the sinister Victorius. Back at Pegasus, Wundarr is taken to the infirmary and Ben vows to get the creep who hurt Wundy. Cap takes him to a jet with a high-energy tracer that can track the Cosmic Cube. Arriving shortly thereafter in Florida, a brief search brings the heroes face-to-face with Victorius, announcing a new order for the universe, with his ally the Entropic Man. Ben’s reaction: "Wotta revoltin’ development this is."

Suffer not a Warlock to live
In #61 Her abducted Thing's girlfriend Alicia Masters to help her find Him. Starhawk and Moondragon sensed Her's cosmic power and involved themselves. Moondragon told Her that Him became Adam Warlock, but died and is buried on Counter-Earth. So Moondragon flew Her and Alicia to Counter-Earth in her spaceship.In #62 Thing and Starhawk followed in the Fantastic Four's Skrull saucer. But they all found Counter-Earth missing and only its artificial Moon remained. And inside they discovered the lifeless body of the High Evolutionary (who created the planet and moon). In the middle of all this male Starhawk transformed into his female version Aleta. Her revived HE and he told them how Warlock had turned up 1 day and accused *him* of destroying Counter-Earth, although at that time the Evolutionary could plainly see that the planet was still there. But Adam 'killed' him and left (to meet Thanos and his death in Avengers Annual #7 and our Annual #2). But now it seemed Counter-Earth really has gone, and HE detected the trail of someone taking it away.In this issue they've used High Evolutionary's moon base to follow the trail across the Galaxy and found Counter-Earth surrounded by linked 'moons' which are the towing ships. HE's sensors detect life in all of the moons. Then Aleta reverts to Starhawk and declares, as the 'One Who Knows', that the moon over the North Pole is the command ship. He also 'recommends' that Evolutionary stay behind as backup while the other 5 go investigate. But Thing won't let Alicia go into more danger, and he's staying with her. So only Her, Moondragon and Starhawk get teleported into the moon.Inside they run into 3 giant aliens and impulsive Her leaps to the attack, forcing the other 2 to follow because Moondragon's telepathy fails to tell whether or not they are hostile. Her and Starhawk take down 1 each and Moondragon's psionic blast deals with the other, which boosts Heather Douglas' ego a little bit. The haughty Titan priestess has been feeling inferior to Her, which she definitely isn't used to. Her and Starhawk zoom through the rest of the ship blasting more aliens, with Moondragon racing to keep up.Thing is feeling guilty about not helping the others when it's taken out of his hands as he, Alicia and Herbert George Wyndham are teleported to the same moon. The giant who greets them announces he is Sphinxor, boss of the Prime Movers of Tarkus. HGW expands to the same size to talk to the guy who says he learned his English from transmissions of TV sitcoms. The other 3 finally make it to the control room but Wyndham tells them to stand down.Sphinxor explains that they were contracted to deliver Counter-Earth to beings called the Beyonders. They detected the planet as High Evolutionary was building it, and sent him to monitor proceedings. When Sphinxor saw Warlock get involved (Marvel Premiere #1) he knew he'd have to get Adam out of the way before they could steal the place. So when  Warlock was killed and resurrected (Hulk #177-178) he took the opportunity to unleash the Adam's Soul Gem's soul-stealing appetite. Warlock left the Solar System and Sphinxor went to bring in his Prime Movers. But when they got here they found Adam was returning, so the alien tweaked the Gem again so that Warlock *thought* he was now larger than the Solar System, and left again (Warlock #14-15). But the effect wore off as Adam returned again (Marvel Team-Up #55) so Sphinxor tried another illusion, that Counter-Earth was already gone (last issue's flashback) which had the bonus effect of Warlock 'killing' Wyndham before leaving again. With both chars out of the way The Prime Movers could start the move.Sphinxor also claims that he doesn't know what the Beyonders want with the world, but he's not going to cross someone as powerful as they are. At this point HGW says he wants his planet delivered to the Beyonders. He now admits that his creation is flawed and unstable, but maybe these super-powerful guys can fix it. And in addition he wants to go with it to meet these supreme beings, to satisfy his scientific curiosity.HGW also stipulates that his companions be allowed to beam down to the planet to do what they came for. Sphinxor is reluctant because he'd have to switch off part of the stasis field which keeps all life down there in suspended animation, and that would slow them down. So Ben Grimm persuades him to change his mind. Moondragon provides the coordinates and the 5 are ported down to the graves of Adam and his friends Gamora and Pip the Troll.Her exerts her power and raises Warlock's body from the grave. He is the only other member of her 'race' (both created by the same process), and she expects him to be her mate. But then she realises he is nothing without his soul, and she returns him to peace. (An editorial comment reminds us that Adam's soul is now inside the Soul Gem, and tells us that the Gardener now has the Gem. This has only just been seen in Hulk #247 out the same month as this issue, and in #248 Gardener will reveal that he took it from Warlock's grave.)Grieving Her flies off into space, and the others prepare to return home.

Yesterdaze
The Fantastic Four (Thing, Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch) with little Franklin Richards and Alicia Masters are at breakfast when Ben receives a surprising offer in the mail. A movie production company offers to pay $10,000 to a children’s hospital if Ben agrees to film a small role in a movie titled MECHAGRUB MEETS GODDANGIT. Ben is elated though Reed is dubious; he looks over the enclosed contract and it seems legitimate. Ben packs for his trip to Hollywood……where down-and-out producer Ted Silverberg is meeting with inventor/film buff Professor Frankheimer who shows him his new device, the Holoflex. This machine can look in on any point in space and time and, at the press of a button, create a holographic model of it which can be controlled by the person using the Holoflex, demonstrating with a Gila Monster. Silverberg anticipates making a fortune renting out the machine to other film companies but first he wants to take revenge against the Thing for messing up an earlier production of his. But the machine has overheated and the holographic Gila Monster has become real….Meanwhile, Tony Stark has been persuaded by his accounting department to invest in a motion picture and as Iron Man, he has flown out to check on the investment. Changing into his civvies on a jungle set, Tony encounters sexy star Bo Drip, who mistakes him for her leading man. Tony then sees Ben Grimm, dressed in a classy white suit that makes him look silly. A brief conversation reveals that the film Ben is in is the one Tony is investing in. While Ben is in makeup he meets the director of the film, Sid Brute, who explains the scene….Elsewhere, Silverberg is using the Holoflex to create a pterodactyl, triceratops, and a Tyrannosaurus Rex which he sends to the movie set. The first scene has Ben jumping from a roof to land on the Pterodactyl but when he leaps on it, being a hologram, he flies right through and crashes into a billboard. Then he is told to fight the triceratops; he passes through and lands in a noodle restaurant. Silverberg enters, laughing at Ben and Ben wants to clobber him but Tony warns him that he is under contract. Ben gets mad and kicks the T. Rex—which turns out to be solid, the Holoflex having overheated, making the monsters real. Tony changes into Iron Man while Ben grows angry and they battle the dinosaurs through the studio, wrecking other productions and terrorizing the populace. Iron Man uses his freon to freeze the pterodactyl while Ben electrocutes the triceratops. The two heroes discover that a company filming a South Pole adventure are using freon generations to keep the set cold so they lure the three dinosaurs, ice them down and Tony hires helicopters to transport them to their new home in the Savage Land. They discover the Holoflex has been destroyed in the mayhem. Tony suggests to Silverberg that if he hand over the film of Thing looking foolish, Tony will reconsider suing Silverberg for squandering his investment. The two heroes go home and Silverberg is left miserable.

The Eve of Destruction!
The Hydra agent who captured the courier carrying the valuable plutonium takes the sub back to rendezvous with the Dragon of Death. Baron Strucker gloats over his imminent possession of an atomic bomb which will allow him to conquer the world. Then it is discovered that the "plutonium" is really low-grade radium. The courier is revealed to be Bob "Whizzer" Frank in disguise; he zips to the communications room and sends out a signal. The Invaders, waiting nearby, locate the giant craft and crash Namor’s flagship into the dragon’s mouth, putting a large hole in the side so that it cannot submerge. They then battle their way through the ship, taking out Hydra goons left and right. Namor rescues Bob while Captain America searches for Strucker. But the villain is already gone; he ordered the ship scuttled and departed in a small craft. The heroes escape just as the Dragon explodes. A nearby American Navy ship picks up the survivors among the crew. And just when he thinks he’s gotten away, Strucker’s escape craft is seized and crushed by a giant squid.

The Spoils of War!
The Invaders—Captain America, the Human Torch, and the Sub-Mariner—capture a German battleship. Film of this adventure is being viewed by the Nazi high command; Baron Strucker, aware that the Reich is doomed, leaves to return to his secret lab. He finds the Red Skull waiting for him, requesting samples of his chemical weapons; Strucker complies, of course. In the Atlantic, Subby intercepts and sinks a Nazi sub; the captain kills himself with poison from a strange ring. Cap breaks up a Nazi spy ring and discovers some shocking information. The Torch pursues a plane carrying Baron Strucker; it loses him when it shifts to supersonic speed. Further on, Strucker pilots his plane into the mouth of a giant sea dragon….
In Washington, two agents Bob Frank (secretly the Whizzer) and Will Fitzpatrick are investigating the Invaders: they question Betty Dean about Namor, Professor Horton on his creation the Human Torch, and General Phillips concerning Captain America. (Each session includes a recap of the hero’s origin.). Shortly thereafter, the three heroes are summoned by Frank and Fitzpatrick and briefed on an important mission. Captain Savage and his Leatherneck Raiders of the Marine Corps invaded and destroyed an island base used by Strucker and Hydra. It was then discovered that Strucker was working toward an atomic bomb—and he is now working from a gigantic ship resembling a dragon (earlier captured by Cap and Bucky but stolen back by Hydra)….
Meanwhile aboard that dragon ship, Baron Strucker sits reading history books—from the later 20th century....

for survivors and bring them to the safety camp at Javitz Center where everyone
is closely monitored.
Thor confides in Hawkeye that he still doesn’t trust Doom and
destroys his Doomstone; when Hawkeye rebukes him, Thor decides to leave the
planet and speeds off into the sky….
The Avengers continue fighting bands of cannibals and forcing
the Doomstone on the survivors. Iron Man contacts Reed Richards and Black Panther
who explain they know everything about the plague except how to cure it; Tony
has sent them a Doomstone for study. Then word comes that She-Hulk has turned
and is leading a slaughter at the Javitz Center. Hawkeye goes to confront Doom
and discovers that he was able to improve the Doomstone, his test subject Daken
no longer mindless but a childlike innocent….
The Avengers meet for a discussion but come to no conclusions
on any question. Hawkeye then sees Deadpool dragging a blood-soaked bag to
Doom’s headquarters and sneaks in to see Doom is a cannibal, feasting on the
corpse of Mystique….

Part 2: Invictus
Doctor Doom faces the Avengers, telling them he has a cure
for the disease and their only hope for salvation is to acknowledge Doom as
their ruler. Hawkeye secretly contacts Reed Richards who tells them Doom cannot
be trusted. Thor defies Doom and hurls Mjolnir at him but it doesn’t damage
him. He mocks Thor and the Avengers for their weakness, revealing that, thanks
to his Doomstone, a combination of science and alchemy, the pathogen has not
affected the population of Latveria. Led by Thor and Iron Man, the Avengers
attack Doom en masse and he defeats them easily. Then the ground rips open and
Hercules, an infected predator, leads an army of Moloids to conquer the surface
world. Doom stands by and lets the Avengers fight them but Hercules’ forces are
too strong. Hawkeye pleads with Doom to take action, demonstrate that he is one
deserving of their honor. So, Doom wipes out the invaders in seconds and asks
the assembled Avengers for their decision—and they all fall to their knees….

Part 4: The Last Avenger
Hawkeye has discovered that Doctor Doom is a cannibal and
fights him; Doom explains that the entire human race is infected, the mutation
is merely the next step in evolution and the Doomstones allow people to retain
their intelligence and personalities. Hawkeye fires an explosive arrow, blowing
apart Deadpool, and contacts the Avengers telling them that Doom has duped
them. He escapes but Doom has a second surprise: he controls the Doomstones and
is able to infect and turn the wearers, starting with Red Hulk. Fighting breaks
out all over the city. Punisher and Black Widow, who have rescued Hawkeye,
contact Black Panther and Reed Richards with news of the true nature of the
Doomstones. They are advised, as the last Avengers, to avenge. To Black Widow
this means destroying the Doomstones but to the Punisher this means killing as
many as he can. They head out on their grim mission, which seems to be mostly
killing. Iron Man is infected so his armor shuts down, trapping him inside for
a slow death. Then Black Widow is carried off by Spider-Man, leaving just Clint
and Frank Castle….
In Asgard, the gods look down on Earth and Loki pronounces a
requiem for humanity—but Thor decides to return….
Punisher goes off on his own, leaving Hawkeye to take the
final step of killing Doctor Doom. He confronts the villain in his lair and
shoots him through the eye with an arrow tipped with one of Wolverine’s claws.
As he walks through the city, Thor descends and kills him with a blow from
Mjolnir. He was the last Avenger, leaving the Punisher to carry out his mission
of slaughter….

Reed consults with Black Panther and they decide that they must find a new, safe
place for the lab; T’Challa reveals that his sister Shuri and other Wakandan
refugees have established a camp in New Jersey so they decide to head there. Punisher,
immune to the pathogen gives them some of his blood before he leaves to track

and the other scientists have made it to the staging center while they await the
rescue ships. Deadpool is dispatched to find out Hulk’s plans….
At the Holland Tunnel, Hulk’s army continues its search for

too….
Logan, Cap, and Castle make plans. The scientists are in a
warehouse in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Shuri and her Quinjets cannot be found. The
Hulk is most likely to come over the Newark Bay Bridge; Castle suggests blowing
it up, which would trap a million uninfected in New York City. ‘Pool comes back
with word that Hulk’s army is taking a different route. Black Panther arrives
and offers to help but Cap tells him he is more valuable as a scientist than a
fighter. Privately, Logan tells Deadpool that he is needed to hold himself
together against the infection if they are to survive….
Cap, Punisher, ‘Pool, and Logan prepare to fight a holding
action to keep Hulk’s band, led by the Thing, at bay with heavy weaponry. But

Wolverine returns to the lab where Reed Richards and Hank Pym
have an update on the spread of the pathogen: it has been traced to a Russian
gene therapy called, in English, Survivor 118, designed to help survivors of a
nuclear war adapt to the changed conditions. A shipment was brought into the US
by the Russian Mafia but they were killed by a familiar method so Logan goes out
in search of the Punisher. Logan even passes up a battle between various heroes
and villains as a distraction for his main mission. Logan comes upon Punisher,
Taskmaster, and Hawkeye fighting predators and joins in; when the battle is
over, Logan questions Castle who describes his hit on the Russians, thinking he
was stopping the import of nuclear materials, and his exposure to the pathogen
which gave him an immunity. Logan reports back that all of the pathogen is
gone, washed away after Castle’s hit; Reed realizes that the only source of it
now is in the Punisher’s body and asks Logan to bring him in whether he wants
to come or not. Castle grudgingly agrees to come in to donate blood and tissue
samples when they come upon Electro fighting Magneto and they are attacked by a
gang of predators. The clash of electricity and magnetism creates an EMP that
shuts down the city. They make it to the darkened Baxter Building and find the
severed head of Willie Lumpkin impaled on a stake. Further along they discover Reed
Richards stretched out of shape in a stairway landing. In the lab, Spider-Man
and Beast have killed and eaten Hank Pym. There is a fight and Punisher blows
Beast’s head off but Spider-Man escapes. And then a monstrous Thing arrives,
with Thundra and Red She-Hulk, also turned to predators….

Part I: A Fall of Angels
Wolverine battles Colossus who has turned into a
cannibalistic predator due to a pathogen sweeping the world. Though he is
Logan’s best friend, he kills Peter anyway….
Logan looks back on the start of the crisis: he and Peter
were watching a hockey game on television when they—and the rest of the
world—saw Spider-Man kill and eat the Rhino. The Fantastic Four captured Spidey
and imprisoned him in a lab for Reed Richards to study, aided by Thing; it’s
Logan who recognizes that Spider-Man is studying them back, like a predator. Reed
hopes this is an isolated incident….
Shortly thereafter, Logan is on a mission with Psylocke
against Hydra; he held off the bad guys while Psylocke escaped into the sewers
only to be killed and eaten by a predator. Reed called in Hank Pym and
discovered that the pathogen rewrites DNA to make the subject adaptable to any
condition. Invisible Woman called their attention to a TV news report of the
Blob killing and eating a restaurant full of people. Reed wondered if they were
too late to stop the spread. Logan continued to track down the monster that
killed Psylocke while Beast tried to remind him that the infected are also
victims. Logan came upon a man chasing his wife and baby and discovered too
late that it was the woman who was a predator and then Logan was attacked by
Psylocke’s killer who could fly. Angel was expected to deliver some X-Men tech
sent by Cyclops and never showed up as the disease kept spreading. Logan went
out to meet Angel, killing Doctor Octopus along the way and discovered that
Angel was infected and killed him. Which brings us back to where the issue
began: Logan killing Colossus—the last of the X-Men Wolverine had to take
down….

assassinate the World Council but Councilwoman Hawley takes him down before revealing
she is the Black Widow in disguise….
General Thunderbolt Ross goes to the real Councilwoman
Hawley, wanting the Council’s help in finding Black Widow. Hawley considers her
a hero but Ross denies that she works for them. Hawley points out that the
Widow was certainly working for him during the superhero Civil War, wherein she
fought Hawkeye, a longtime friend and ally. Ross suspects her of helping
Captain America escape but Hawley demands proof, so Ross gives her the full
info….
Natasha Romanova, the Black Widow, was the star pupil of the
Russian Red Room where she rose quickly in the ranks up to her tragic “ceremony”
where she had a tubal ligation, preventing her from ever having children. Soon
after, she defected to America and joined SHIELD, though no one really knows
why. An early assignment went wrong when she was caught by the Winter Soldier
and shot. After that, she was assigned to monitor Tony Stark. Using the alias
Natalie Rushman from Stark’s legal department, she surprised Stark and Pepper
Potts by easily clobbering Happy Hogan in a friendly boxing match. Things soon

Romanoff. She grudgingly gives it but refuses to shake his hand. Ross calls

War Machine, helpless as the Ten Rings’ Hammer tank approaches, reboots his systems and flies into the air, evading harm. He fires on the ground around the tank so that it falls in a hole but the Ten Rings terrorists fire rockets at him, pushing him back within the range of the tank. He calls for back-up but is reminded that the Avengers are fighting off the Chitauri invasion of New York. After another missile from the tank, Rhodey realizes he can’t take much more so he begins to fight smarter. He flies high into the air and comes down, smashing a crater in the ground. He uses a sonic cannon to take out the foot soldiers but the tank blasts him then runs him over. So he picks up the tank covering him; it activates a self-destruct mode so Rhodey hurls it into the ocean where the nuclear core explodes harmlessly. He discovers bits of Stark tech in the item, wondering how the Ten Rings were able to obtain it. He races back to New York and marvels at the destruction. He locates the Avengers (Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye) in a restaurant, eating shawarma….Rhodey stops by Tony Stark’s Malibu home where he finds Pepper Potts doing the redecorating while Tony is in his lab creating enough Iron Man armors to form an Iron Legion….One of the Ten Rings minions reports to the Mandarin that they have obtained all of the specs for the War Machine armor and all they need do now is wipe Iron Man off the face of the Earth….

Pepper Potts holds a press conference over the construction of Stark Tower, the first clean-energy powered skyscraper in Manhattan, while assuring everyone that all the damage from the StarkExpo disaster has been repaired at Stark’s expense….In his Malibu lab, Tony Stark is removing all of Justin Hammer’s weaponry from the War Machine armor as James Rhodes watches. Tony cons him into thinking he will never again be War Machine before unveiling a new totally-Stark-made gray armor. There’s one catch: Rhodey will have to fill in for Iron Man as needed….As War Machine, Rhodey zips around the world, fighting terrorists in Mumbai, Afghanistan, and Sudan, being mistaken for Iron Man and realizing that the three disparate terrorist groups are using the same weaponry, supplied by the Ten Rings. He works out a plan with Tony to track the Ten Rings through a possible bioterror attack in Asia….Three months later, in Hong Kong, Ten Rings strikes, taking hostages. Rhodey uses his sophisticated tracking to shoot down the terrorists (non-lethally) as they hide behind their hostages. A grenade caught by Rhodey does no harm and he is able to shoot a detonator out of a bad guy’s hand. He takes a call from Iron Man, asking if he can come to New York right away; Rhodey says he’s busy but he’ll get there when he can. And the reader sees that it’s the Battle of New York, the Avengers versus the invading Chitauri. War Machine wonders why the Ten Rings was so underwhelming—because it’s a trap. Hand-held missiles knock Rhodey over, then a truck bomb leaves him stunned, and a Hammer-manufactured tank stolen from the US military. An army officer in touch with Rhodey warns him that the tank is powered by a nuclear reactor and blowing it up could destroy the city. As sidewinder missile knocks the hero out of the sky and the tank advances on him as he lies stunned on the ground….

Young Avengers: Parallax lost (part 2)
Last issue we saw that grown-up Kristoff Vernard had used a fragment of the M'Kraan Crystal to conquer Chronopolis in Limbo, intending to then conquer all realities. But Iron Lad sacrificed himself to take the fragment off him and send it to Universe-616 to other ex-Young Avengers to arrange for Kristoff's defeat. We saw it arrive in the present-day Kree/Skrull Alliance ruled by Hulkling and Wiccan but also bring baby Hulkling and his 'mother' through a wormhole to that time and space as well.We now continue from that last part, set in the Genitrix System in the 12-Star Nebula (within the Andromeda Galaxy) which has been invaded by the Brood. The Skrull Imperial Cruiser Kho'Pesh requests sanctuary and repeats that it has the Prince of the Skrull Empire, the infant son of Captain Mar-Vell, on board. Last issue Teddy Altman recognised the voice of the woman he called mother. Now he and his husband Billy Kaplan are rushing to greet the ship with Kree Prime Accuser Lauri-Ell and the Kree/Skrull hybrid wizard Mur-G'nn. Billy fears a trick but Teddy remembers back to his boyhood with his 'human' mom. She read him a story when he was a baby about a beautiful princess who fell in love with a noble warrior and they had a son. She brought him up alone with love. And she died in flames revealed as a Skrull.On the way the Accuser reports that the Brood are still infesting the lower decks of their ship but that since the portal opened they've become panicked rather than aggressive. They reach the airlock where the Skrull ship is docked and meet the Skrull female carrying the infant. She announces herself as Antalya the Sun-Clothed, Votaress of the Cloisters of Ny'ni-Ahn, Prelate-Countess of the Forgotten Moon and sworn Battle-Maiden to Princess Anelle of the Skrull Imperial House of Dorrek. And we see the baby is Kree pink with varying patches of Skrull green.The meeting is interrupted by a Brood warrior that came on board with her ship. It leaps to attack and wraps Mur-G'nn in a tentacle. Emperor Hulking tells his Wizard husband to cast a spell and Lauri-Ell to 'distract' it with her 'hammer' (Universal Weapon) while he attacks it with his magic sword. However Antalya spares them the trouble by blasting a big hole through the Brood with her gun. And Lauri-Ell passes on reports from their fleet that the Brood's living spaceships, the Acanti spacewhales, have revolted against their masters.Hulkling checks that Mur-G'nn is unharmed. The Skrull visitor tells them that as they passed through a wormhole from the Andromeda Galaxy to find Captain Mar-Vell an anomaly caused by a strange gem diverted them to here and into what she now realises is the future. She recognises that Hulkling is her infant child grown up and that Wiccan is his chosen life-partner. So she hands the baby to Billy. But it turns Skrull green and shapeshifts to have wings, and is strong enough to lift him into the air by his hair. Billy manages to get the baby to hold him by the hand instead and together they head off to 'fix space'. Surrounded by a magic forcefield they approach the gem floating in space where the whales are singing. Billy senses that it is searching for a fault in time, and is pulling people along with it to try to correct something. But the baby just tries to eat it. However the gem opens another portal to Earth-616 20 years ago which Wiccan knows is where/when Teddy will grow up. And the Acanti 'swim' through it.Antalya calls Hulking by his regal name Dorrek, which she never used while she brought him up on Earth. But she is glad to see what he has grown into. His mother Princess Anelle sent him away to spare him the burden of royalty but Antalya always figured it would find him anyway. She's just glad that he also found happiness - she likes Billy. Teddy tells her that she *will* like him. But he also has to tell her that she never finds his father Captain Mar-Vell. She sees that as her failure but he assures her that she never failed him as a 'mother'.Billy and the baby return with the Crystal shard. Billy tells them that the portal is closing so Antalya must take baby Teddy through it. Teddy asks if it's safe but Antalya says that his existence here proves it is. He starts to tell her how the Super-Skrull kills her but she doesn't want to know. They say their goodbyes and Antalya's ship goes through the gateway. And the Crystal goes with it. And the Brood have all run away too. Wiccan, Mur-G'nn and Lauri-Ell leave the Emperor to come to terms with what happened.Mur-G'nn says that Billy seems perturbed by something. He tells her that when he touched the Crystal it spoke to him - just 1 word "Demiurge".

Young Avengers: Parallax lost (part 1)
Outside of space and time in Limbo the War Aeternum comes to an end as the Arakkii-Shi'Ar Alliance fight for the League Of Free Realities above Chronopolis against the robot legions of Dr Doom. And atop Castle Tenebrae Doom himself is in 1-to-1 combat with Iron Lad. The villain boasts that Immortus and the Council Of Kangs are dead. Iron Lad reminds us that he is (1 version of) Nathaniel Richards, a descendent of Mr Fantastic's father of the same name, who might become Kang The Conqueror. But it turns out Doom isn't really Victor Von Doom but his adopted son Kristoff Vernard, who IL claims has killed DrD in order to replace him. Kristoff responds that he has conquered Chronopolis to create a never-ending Neo-Latverian Empire, greater than anything his father could have done. Nathaniel reminds him of a female they both loved and suggests that she would not have wanted a future like this. But Kristoff claims he's going to fix the broken universe and make it what it should have always been.Doom has Iron Lad on the ropes. But this was all designed to give Nate an opportunity to grab a fragment of the M'Kraan Crystal which Kristoff has been using to rewrite realities. And now he orders his suit's AI Jonas to activate Protocol 616 which encases the crystal in a forcefield before sending it elsewhere/when. Unfortunately the action destroys 1 arm of his armour and his helmet. He tells Doom that he's sent the crystal to the only people in the multiverse he trusts and told it to set in motion the downfall of his empire. Kristoff points out that the M'Kraan Crystal is tricky and is as likely to harm his friends as to help them. We see a vision of Hulkling & Wiccan, Kate Bishop/Hawkeye, Speed & Prodigy, America Chavez and Stinger. Doom promises to seek them out. Then he tosses Iron Lad aside to fall through the void. Nate calls on Jonas to activate thrusters but the AI reports total system failure.But we shift our attention to the present day in the Andromeda Galaxy of Universe 616 where Hulkling rules the Kree/Skrull Alliance with Wiccan as his Court Wizard (and husband). The Prime Accuser Lauri-Ell reports a large incursion by Brood in their living captive spacewhale-ships Acanti. The other Wizard the Kree/Skrull hybrid Mur-G'nn feels the whales' pain and Teddy Altman orders no-one to fire at them. Billy Kaplan detects something else out there, and Lauri-Ell reports a small crystal of unknowm material that is producing a lot of tachyons. Then they are contacted in an old Skrull encryption code which seems to mention in translation Theo-Doros Alt/Man. A ship appears out of a wormhole and improved translation says they are diplomatic refugees carrying the Crown Prince of the Skrull Empire, the son of Captain Mar-Vell. And Teddy recognises his mother's voice.
