Synopsis for "The End of History"
In the 31st century, young Nathaniel Richards learned about the cycles of history and the relentlessness of time from his instructor. He wondered if someone could force prosperity by controlling events, but his teacher warned this would be the work of the worst conqueror of all. Six months ago, Nate sacrificed himself, dying in his love Cassie’s arms. A hidden Kid Immortus watches over the moment, and demands Jonas show him Cassie’s life without him. Years at a time, he sees her wed Kristoff Vernard in front of their friends and family, form a new Fantastic Four, and invent liquid sunlight. She and Kristoff have a son, and name it after Nathaniel, and many years later, she passes after sharing a final moment with Kristoff, free of regret. Jonas indicates that the students of Avengers Academy have completed their missions across time and are ready to return, but Nate requests just a little more time to watch over Cassie.
In the present, Kid Immortus welcomes back the students, who relay their exploits across time. Gabe introduces the dog he brought back from the past named Thomas, and the faculty reveal their own adventures. Kid Juggernaut grabs Kid Immortus, upset that they had to watch their histories without being able to help, asking how he could do this. Nate breaks down in tears, mask shattered, saying that history must be allowed to take his course unconquered. Kid Juggernaut calms down and apologizes, but sirens divert the group’s attention. All tune in to a special report from the White House Marcus Wetherell, and learn that the United States has joined the world in pledging allegiance to its new leader Doctor Doom.
