Synopsis for "Invasion!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #8
With She-Hulk in danger at Doombase, the heroes gathered on Battleworld rush to her aid. Their attack attract the attention of the Enchantress who has been drinking since she thought Thor was slain by Doom's minions, but sees that he is actually alive and well, however she is too drunk to join the fight. Also hearing the commotion is Volcana who is still caring for the Molecule Man after he was seriously wounded by Wolverine in an earlier battle, she refuses to leave his side. While down below in the dungeon the deranged Klaw frees the Lizard from his cell. Elsewhere still, the rest of the villains are still pounding on the She-Hulk when they hear the attack and rush off to stop it. Before leaving, Doctor Octopus lands one more blow in the hopes of killing She-Hulk. While in his quarters, Doctor Doom continues to try and recover after being expelled from the Worldship of Galactus as his bodyguard Ultron guards from the door.

The heroes are ambushed by the villains and during the fight Iron Man's armor is damaged by the Wrecker. The Thing tries to tackle the Absorbing Man but suddenly reverts back to human form, forcing Spider-Woman to come to his aid. While Thor ties up Doctor Octopus, Pile Driver tries to square off against Hawkeye, but cowers away when the bowman manages to strike him with an arrow. The Hulk comes crashing in on the Enchantress but is knocked out by her enchanted charms. When she tries the same thing on Captain America, he resists her long enough to knock her out with his shield. While Spider-Man squares off against Titania, Hawkeye and Ben Grimm run into Klaw and the Lizard and are concerned that they are outmatched. Iron Man, Mister Fantastic, Thor and Spider-Woman later locate Volcana and Molecule Man and try to attack. Molecule Man responds by erecting an indestructible screen around them and Volcana unleashes large fire blasts that fries Iron Man's armor, but Captain Marvel manages to pass through in her light form, and the heroes cease their hostilities when they find out that Owen has been seriously injured. While not far away, Spider-Man manages to get the best of Titania, delivering her a humiliating defeat and knocking her out of the fortress.

Meanwhile, Captain America and the Human Torch are squaring off against Ultron. Ultimately the Torch defeats the robot by unleashing his nova flame, overheating his circuits and rendering the killer robot inert. Captain America then storms into Doom's quarters and seeing the state that Doctor Doom is in, considers Doom no threat and leaves. With the battle over, Mister Fantastic and the others find Hawkeye and Ben Grimm playing patty-cake, thanks to the limited intellect of their foes. Soon She-Hulk is found and is placed in the medical bay along with the defeated members of the Wrecking Crew, while the rest of the villains are locked up. While back in the alien village, Colossus rushes the unconscious Zsaji to her room. There he finds the bottle of mind melding gas and uses it to learn what ills her. He discovers that the constant use of her powers to heal the various heroes have taxed her system and threaten to kill her. Colossus then professes his love to Zsaji. Elsewhere, Hawkeye and Captain Marvel return to discover that Zsaji pushed her powers to the limit so she could revive the Wasp. While from their look out, the members of the X-Men notice that Galactus is getting dangerously close to completing his world devouring device.

Back at Doombase, Iron Man is impressed that Mister Fantastic seems unsurprised that an African-American is wearing the Iron Man armor. While elsewhere Spider-Man notices that Thor got a new helmet and cap. When Hulk tells Spider-Man that there is a device that creates costumes by thought, he goes to check it out for himself since his own uniform is in tatters. Finding what he believes to be the machine the Hulk was talking about, Spider-Man thinks into it and a strange black ball comes out and lands in his hand. Spider-Man is surprised when the blackness begins to spread up his arm and envelops his body in a new black and white costume. As Spider-Man begins to wonder why it doesn't look like his old costume suddenly the ground begins to quake. This is followed by a telepathic distress from Professor Xavier warning the heroes that Galactus is about to consume Battleworld.

Synopsis for "Instant Karma!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Iceman #2
Oblivion is angered at Idiot and White Light after their failure to complete their mission in Port Jefferson and punishes them.[1] He summons Kali to complete the mission for him.

Back in Port Jefferson, Iceman convinces the Port Jefferson Police Department to release him after his arrest at the wreckage of the Smith house by Ralph Ratchit by using his authority as a Defender and claiming he was dealing with Communist spies. He returns to the site and discovers an unusual box which he takes back to his parents' house. His father is incensed at him for his actions and yells at him. Bobby afterwards contemplates his relationship with his parents but the box begins making a sound and he suddenly disappears.

Marge Smith and her family find themselves in the England of 1892. They manage to view Bobby on a terminal with the box that they refer to as a Bounce Box suggesting its purpose to be a teleportation/time travel device. They suggest that "Margaret" should do something to help him.

Bobby winds up finding himself teleported to the year 1942 but is confronted by a policeman die to his lack of appropriate clothing. He flees on an ice slide but is clipped in the arm by a bullet shot by the cop and passes out. When he awakens, he finds himself in a bed being tended to by his much younger parents. His parents feel an overwhelming sense of trust and recognition for Bobby and beg to let them help him but Kali and her army on flying spiders and olive-skinned riders suddenly appear and attack after Kali detects the presence of the Bounce Box.

Bobby transforms into Iceman and puts up an ice barrier to protect him and his parents from Kali's assault. Iceman does his best to fight off the attackers while "Margaret" frets with her family in 1892 England about Kali attacking the wrong people. Bobby's father seeks to perform an act of heroism and retrieves the Bounce Box with the intention of getting it to Iceman and is subsequently attacked by Kali's henchman. He is picked up and thrown into a wall as Iceman is restrained by Kali. An image of Margaret then appears in the sky and she beseeches Kali to leave as she convinces her she is in the wrong time and place. Kali flees with her army as Iceman seeks to comfort his gravely injured father who then dies. Bobby is terrified of the consequences since he hadn't yet been born in that timeline.

Reprint of the 1st story from
Alpha Flight #6
Chief Inspector Hamilton orders an investigation of Constable Anne McKenzie's absences and restricts her to office duties. Further north, an oil rig drills up the beast Kolomaq, embodiment of winter. Snowbird breaks out of her cell to confront him.

Mac muses on Dept. H's dissolution, Alpha Flight's independence from the government, and his role as superhero. Returning home, he gets a surprising letter from Roxxon.

Kolomaq recognizes Snowbird as the spirit of the Hodiak and the power of Nelvanna and fights her with snowblindness. She transforms to a bear, an owl, and a human and fights him, finally tricking him into causing an avalanche of rock, burying him beneath the tundra again.
