Synopsis for "...And Dust To Dust!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #11
Doctor Doom has stolen the power of the Beyonder and appeared before the heroes gathered on Battleworld. Removing his mask, Doom reveals that his face has been completely healed. He then announces that with the Beyonder seemingly dead, the Secret Wars are now over. From afar, Doom's former minions watch as Doom speaks with the heroes. Thinking Doom has betrayed them, the Molecule Man is furious and uses his powers to uproot the earth under the heroes and fling them across Battleworld. When Owen Reece angrily confronts Doom, Doom merely opens up Reece's mind and removes the mental blocks that prevented him from being able to alter the molecules of living things. Struck by this revelation, Molecule Man suggests that they retreat and figure out their next move. Volcana suggests her apartment and so the Molecule Man creates a ship that will allow them to fly to the chunk of Denver that has been brought to Battleworld.

Meanwhile, the heroes regroup at Doombase to review their notes and decide what to do with the now god-like Doctor Doom. While they discuss this, the villains have regrouped at Marsha's apartment. There they all agree that the Secret Wars are not worth it, and want to go home even if it means forfeiting the prize. With that, Molecule Man uses his powers to erect an air-tight dome around Denver and pull it free from Battleworld and venture off into space. This is picked up by the heroes' scanners and when Spider-Woman expresses concern for the friends and family she still has in Denver, Mister Fantastic regretfully tells her that there is nothing they can do. That evening Colossus cannot sleep because of his growing feelings for the alien woman Zsaji that he has fallen in love with. Unwilling to go forward with whatever plans until he sees her one more time, Colossus leaves in the might. As he goes, a ball of energy arrives at Doombase and takes possession of the Hulk. The possessed Hulk is spotted by Spider-Woman, who tries to stop him. When the Hulk's path is impeded the energy that is possessing him switches over to her and she continues on into the lab. There she finds Captain Marvel -- still trapped in energy form -- as well as the severed head of Klaw. Before she can do anything there is a blinding flash of light that causes her to scream. When the other heroes arrive they find Klaw missing and Captain Marvel restored to normal. They also find a message from Doctor Doom telling them to meet him at the Tower of Doom at dusk the following day. When they wonder where the Tower of Doom is, they look out the window and see a massive stone tower off in the distance. Doom has reformed Klaw and brought him to his side. Having grown tired, Doom orders Klaw to guard his tower while he sleeps.

At the alien village, Zsaji is awoken by the arrival of Colossus who has brought her flowers and professes his love to her. Back at Doombase Nightcrawler and Wolverine are looking for Colossus for the big meeting. Wolverine points out that he is off with Zsaji and Nightcrawler laments about what this will to Piotr's girlfriend Kitty Pryde back home. Wolverine points out that Colossus isn't really in love with Zsaji, he is just feeling the after-effects of her healing powers. The heroes soon board a craft and fly out to Doom's tower to meet with him. Doom announces to them that there is no more need to fight as he intends to use his omnipotence for altruistic ends. In order to demonstrate this, he uses his power to resurrect Kang the Conqueror and return him to his own time. He also explains that he has summoned Nova, the herald of Galactus, to recover her master from space. He then offers to grant the heroes any wish they want in recompense for all the suffering he has caused them in the past. When they all begin discussing it, Captain America notices that Spider-Woman is acting strangely and paying particular attention to Klaw. Cap eventually comes back and tells Doom they want nothing, as such Doom allows them to go free but warns them against acting against him in the future as he will destroy them instantly. As the heroes exit, Captain America sends everyone else back so he can venture back inside and try to spy on Doom.

He finds Doom spending time with Klaw, and once detected Doom invites the Captain in, sending Klaw away. Down one of the corridors, Klaw is ambushed by Spider-Woman and the energy that has been possessing her since the night before transfers to Klaw. Captain America hears that Doom has no interest in conquering the universe and when Klaw returns to inform him that Spider-Woman is knocked out in the hallway, Doom sends Cap away to her. Outside he finds the others still waiting and tells them they need to call a meeting. Elsewhere, Colossus is trying to have a romantic interlude with Zsaji but is forced to come back due to the mental summons of Professor X. The heroes then meet back at Doombase, where they discuss whether they should go up against a god-like Doctor Doom or leave him be, but they agree that to only go after their foe if the vote is unanimous. Everyone agrees that Doom cannot be left with such power unchecked with almost everyone voting yes. With the last vote boiling down to Colossus, he tearfully asks Zsaji to forgive him and votes yes. The moment he does, the heroes are torn apart by a massive blast of energy that seemingly kills them all.

Synopsis for "Things Aren't Always What They Seem"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Alpha Flight #9
Walter Langkowski and a handful of other researchers analyze a bizarre radiation pattern being picked up at an isolated research station in the snowy Rocky Mountains. Activating a modified satellite dish teleports in the unconscious body of one who appears to be Ben Grimm, The Thing. Sasquatch decides to reveal his secret identity to the other researchers in order to carry the heavy superhero into the infirmary. Not long after, a commotion draws the staff to the infirmary where they discover that the Thing has disappeared and the doctor has been immolated, with evidence of other powers used in order to escape the room. At first, they think other Fantastic Four members had come to abduct the Thing, and Walter heads out into the snow to track them. However, he realizes too late that the powers involved were all in one individual. Before he can return, a nova blast back at the lab kills the rest of his colleagues. Walter gets back to the smouldering wreckage to confront the true culprit, the one that had taken the form of the Thing to protect himself on re-entry from space, the Super-Skrull.
