Synopsis for "The Death and Resurrection of Major Titans"
Captain America and Captain Marvel discuss the containment status of the various impact sites from Ex Nihilo’s genetic bombs. They discover a previously unknown bomb that struck the Savage Land, and Black Widow’s team is dispatched to investigate. In a flashback, we see Hyperion on his homeworld; he is a hero but also begins to see things that others cannot see which begin to cloud his vision.
The Avengers land in the Savage Land; Hyperiod spies a group of AIM agents who have already discovered the site and are extracting samples from a cocoon. They implant the alien virus into a willing intern, who quickly dies. Hyperion and Captain Marvel arrive to confront them, with Hyperion mentioning that it was AIM who saved him from his own dying universe.
In a flashback we see the destruction of his original world due to an incursion event that collapsed two universes together. Hyperion somehow survived, floating in an interdimensional void, when AIM scientists discovered him and pulled him into our reality. They kept him prisoner until he was rescued by Cap, Iron Man, and Thor.
In the present, the AIM scientists say they have diplomatic immunity from the Avengers; things are about to escalate when the dead intern’s body suddenly sprouts tentacles and begins attacking everyone. Thor and Hyperion destroy the creature and Captain Marvel asks an AGENT why they would inject a human with the alien virus; he responds that they were curious. Nearby Hyperion observes several pods opening; small, striped humanoids emerge who speak in the Builders’ language. Instead of destroying them he chooses to let them gather around him.
As he is taken into custody, the AIM scientist smirks at Captain Marvel, congratulating her sarcastically on containing all 6 impact sites. In Norway, a group of AIM scientists locate a hitherto unknown seventh impact site.

Trivia
- This issue's cover, along with those of issues #5 and #6, was originally going to continue the interconnected image from issues #1 to #3. However, since the full image would have consisted of a 180° panorama, the final covers would have shown Hyperion, Smasher and Captain Universe from a back view, which Weaver considered wasn't a good way to showcase the series' three new characters. The 180° view would also have required the addition of a villainous element for the Avengers to be facing, and there wasn't one that made sense for the series at the time.[1] The idea to finish the image from issues #1 to #3 was later revisited in Weaver's variant covers for issues #25 to #27.[2]
