Synopsis for "Night of the Living God!"

On Muir Isle in Scotland, Polaris and Havok, former X-Men, are attacked by men resembling the Living Pharaoh's old followers. Polaris falls into the ocean, Havok is captured, and they are taken to an undisclosed location. Meanwhile, in New York, Peter Parker stumbles upon members of the Living Pharaoh's gang seeking ultimate power. Spider-Man tries to intervene, but they escape with a captive Havok.

Polaris manages to contact the Beast who is a member of the NY-based Avengers, and he promises to help. Meanwhile, the Living Pharaoh reveals his plan to transfer Havok's cosmic power to himself. Spider-Man tries to stop the villain but as the confrontation intensifies, the Living Pharaoh succeeds and transforms into the Living Monolith, growing in size and power ...

Notes

Continuity Notes

• Havok and Polaris have been recovering on Muir Island after being enslaved by Eric the Red in X-Men #97. They also mention Magneto's recent attack on the island in X-Men #104.
• Peter Parker worries about the health of his Aunt May, as she had recently suffered a number of heart attacks, as depicted in Amazing Spider-Man #177.
• Although the Beast goes to find the X-Men to help him find Havok, he gets caught up in revenge plot orchestrated by Mesmero and Magneto, as seen in X-Men #111–114.
• Thor makes mention how Henry Gyrich has forbidden the Avengers from launching their Quinjets from Avengers Mansion. This has been the case since Avengers #175.
• Havok recounts how the Living Pharaoh went after him for his powers in X-Men #55–57. The connection between the pair's powers was due to Abdul being experimented upon with Havok's DNA by Mr. Sinister, as revealed in Uncanny X-Men #376.
