History
Maelstrom’s Lair was a hidden lair on Cape Horn in Chile. It was occupied by Maelstrom. Deathurge returned to the lair after Maelstrom’s failed attempt to siphon the power of the Eternals’ Uni-Mind to prepare a new body for Maelstrom after he had killed his prior body.
After Maelstrom had been resurrected in his new body, he used the lair's cloning machinery to revive Helio, Phobius, and Gronk and was siphoning energy from the rotation of the Earth which was causing the rotation to slow. Captain Marvel, in search of leads to the cause of the slowing rotation, infiltrated the lair of Maelstrom and despite being wracked with fear triggered by Phobius's power, managed to report back to the Avengers. Along with the west coast Avengers team, they went to confront Maelstrom and encountered him having grown significantly larger and more powerful but ultimately defeated him when they overloaded his energy siphon and caused him to absorb energy faster than he could use to convert it to mass, resulting in a rapid increase in size and disbursement of his molecules.[1]
