History

The Destiny Hunt was the galactic cruiser used by Count Tagar and the New Immortals during their search for the High Evolutionary and the Analyzer who had gone off on their own.[1]

During the search, the Destiny Hunt was boarded by two intruders who were quickly confronted by the New Immortals.[2] After being taken to Count Tagar on the bridge, the intruders identified themselves as the Lady Sif and Balder the Brave who were using Norn Stones to transport themselves on a sacred blood quest to find the recently-banished Thor. Recognizing them, Count Tagar and Nobilus explained their own search for the High Evolutionary who was not well of mind and had secretly slipped away from their newly established homeworld to pursue his obsession with the Celestials. Soon afterwards, the High Evolutionary's personal cruiser was located on Ego the Living Planet. Those aboard the starship observed that the Blue Celestial was also present and was standing on Ego.[1]

While Count Tagar, Zon and Juvan remained on the Destiny Hunt, Sif, Balder and Nobilus took a shuttlecraft down to the surface of Ego. Although the shuttle was destroyed in flight, the Asgardians used their Norn Stones to get the landing party safely to the ground where, after battling Ego's defenses, they soon found both the High Evolutionary and the Analyzer.[3]

Soon afterwards, those on the Destiny Hunt observed the arrival of a cancerous growth of galactic proportions that sought to crush the Living Planet within its grasp. Although the High Evolutionary wished to stay and observe this creature, which he called the Super-Ego, Sif rendered him unconscious and Balder used the Norn Stones to transport the landing party, the High Evolutionary and the Analyzer to the Destiny Hunt just as Ego was seemingly destroyed by Super-Ego. The Destiny Hunt then fled from Super-Ego as an army of Celestials warped into the local space and began to attack (or aid) Super-Ego. Balder and Sif then used the Norn Stones to transport themselves away from the starship and continue their quest for Thor.[4]

The Destiny Hunt has not been seen since.

Notes

  • Count Tagar, the New Immortals and the Analyzer next appear in Mighty Thor #473 in a flashback set aboard New Wundagore that is seemingly meant to take place soon after the events of Mighty Thor #425. Oddly, this flashback contains no references to the appearances of the High Evolutionary and/or the New Immortals in Warlock and the Infinity Watch #3-4 and Mighty Thor #447-450. Assuming that this was not an oversight by writer Roy Thomas, a possible in-universe explanation is that the High Evolutionary did not remember what had happened to him while he was deranged (or perhaps he did remember but preferred to pretend that he did not). In any event, it is presumed that the six characters simply transferred from the Destiny Hunt to New Wundagore in between issues.
  • Although Nobilus mentioned their "newly established homeworld" in Mighty Thor #448, it was not seen or named and has never been mentioned again.
