 Okay. A shell of organic Klyntar material--what the Venom symbiote is made of--has formed around the Earth. It's blocking the sun and restricting all communication. Nothing seems to breach it. And according to Charles Xavier--before we lost contact--it's connected to a god of darkness from before the dawn of time. So... we have a situation. Give me a full spectrum report.
