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 "Quicksand!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Iceman #3
Iceman is falling through a black void after the death of his father in 1942.[1] He suddenly finds himself in a crib making baby sounds and being coddled by his young father and mother but retaining his Iceman appearance. His mother dances with a toddler version of Iceman and remarks on his resemblance to an ice cube before becoming ice herself and then falling and shattering on the floor. Bobby's father angrily sends him off to school, now appearing as a normal young boy when he suddenly plows into a wheelchair-bound Charles Xavier. Xavier asks Bobby to carry him to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters but he is suddenly shot and Bobby quickly turns into a teenage puffy-iced version of himself as a member of the fledgling X-Men and accompanied by his original teammates. He turns back to his parents who speak to him of the dangers of being an active mutant but is pulled away by Hercules accompanied by other members of the Champions and insisting that the only life for him is as a member of a super-team. However, he is shunned by Darkstar and finds himself in tears and back before his parents until the Defenders appear and pull him into their fray, demanding he belongs with them. Iceman resists, however, and insists he has no desire to make a choice and only wants to remain in the black void of oblivion. Upon thinking this, Oblivion suddenly appears and welcomes Bobby to his realm.

Oblivion tries to assuage the anguish Bobby feels and insists that his domain is a place where he can hide from the troubles of the world that have befallen him. He explains that he can return him from nothingness back into a living being despite the death of his father and if he will help him return his daughter to him, who Bobby learns is "Marge Smith", who he previously met in Port Jefferson and became smitten with.[2] Oblivion insists that Marge is not who she seems and uses the severely beaten Kali as evidence of her destructive potential.

Bobby suddenly finds himself in an idyllic town where the townsfolk kindly greet him and happiness and charm abound. He is taken to a large home in the country by Marge's brother Walter and finds Marge with her family who are all overjoyed to see him and insist he join them for dinner. Afterwards, Bobby sits and speaks with Marge on the porch of the home and demands she come clean about Oblivion and their relationship. Bobby tries to convince her to return to Oblivion and her family back him up but she becomes enraged and removes the charade of the world around them, explaining that none of it was real, including her family. Bobby doubles down on her owning who she is and she becomes angrier and transforms into a more hostile and larger version of herself. She fights with Iceman and reveals her name to be Mirage. Bobby fails to defend himself from her assault and lies unconscious which triggers a feeling of remorse in Mirage who then angrily yells to Oblivion that she will come home. She then appears before Oblivion who suggests that she will pay for her actions.

The mugger is bailed out by St. Ives. Northstar's dear friend Belmonde takes them to his cafe, which is empty because of St. Ives' harassment. He wants to buy the cafe, and arrives with thugs.
