| Synopsis | - Mystically transferred to the dimension where Magus’ relay energy transmitter lies, the Earth’s heroes encounter Thanos and the Infinity Watch. Deeming them as the culprits behind this new cosmic crisis, the heroes quickly attack them. Unbeknownst to everyone, Kang and Dr. Doom depart unnoticed, and travel further along the dimensional corridor until they finally reach the energies’ true source: five Cosmic Cubes inside the palace of the Magus. Meanwhile, Galactus manages to molecularly re-construct himself, his ship and his companions after Magus’ attempt to disintegrate them. Observing the heroes’ altercation beneath his ship, Galactus beams everyone aboard and Magus is finally revealed as the true perpetrator. Galactus also unleashes a form of negative energy that reaches Earth and swiftly annihilates Magus’ evil doppelgangers, who were brutally attacking the heroes left behind at Four Freedoms Plaza. Adam Warlock is soon handed all the Infinity Gems from the members of the Infinity Watch and unites them, intent on re-creating the omnipotent Infinity Gauntlet which may put an end to Magus’ power. The Gems, however, do not work together anymore, owing to the Living Tribunal’s judgment of not allowing Warlock to use the Gauntlet on his own. Galactus and Gamora teleport themselves to the Tribunal and appeal to him to change his verdict. After they depart, though, Magus suddenly appears and abducts Warlock, teleporting away with him! After Thanos realizes that the people on Earth have been entranced by Magus, Captain America dispatches Dr. Strange and other mystics to Earth to deal with the situation, while Professor X and the other telepaths are assigned to psychically awaken the Earth’s population from resisting to Magus’ conquest. Thanos then discovers the Ultimate Nullifier on Galactus’ ship – the most destructive weapon on the universe – and, surprisingly, decides to trust it in the hands of one of the noblest heroes, Quasar.
