Nightwatch visits the dock that Gauntlet destroyed, while Gauntlet breaks into Richard Fisk's base and lastly, Blood Rose arrives at the New Enforcers mansion.

Spider-Man is at a standstill with Dragon Man, Super-Adaptoid, and Dreadnought when Vanisher, Eel, and Blitz appear, trying to blast Spider-Man he dodges and deals with the androids. While riding Dragon Man, Spider-Man places a spider-tracer on him and tries to get back to the Foreigner's office.

Synopsis for "The Origin of Nightwatch"

Empire State University is having a Graduation Ceremony, where Mrs. Ashley Croix is introducing the youngest department head at E.S.U., Doctor Kevin Trench. He gives a brief speech and after the ceremony, they walk off together and talk about the future. Ashley tells Kevin that this time next week she'll be in Paris working for Morelli Pharmaceuticals then the two share a kiss. We are taken to a week later where they're at the airport saying their goodbyes. As Kevin is walking away a portal opens and he is assaulted by an invisible fist, then another portal opens up and Nightwatch comes out from it and uses his vision to see the assailants. One escapes back into the portal.

Nightwatch then dies and Kevin removes the Nightwatch mask and sees himself from the future, and in his hand a newspaper clip from a future event. Cops breeze past him and he questions what's going on. He put on the suit and finds out that Ashley's plane has been hijacked. Nightwatch tries to save the day but fails when an altercation in the cargo room leads the hijackers to shoot the fuselage, making the plane explode in mid-air. With the loss of his love and not knowing how to handle the costume, he moves to a deserted island and lives there in peace until Alfredo Morelli, who would become Gauntlet, washes up on the shore, which made him return to New York and protect the city as Nightwatch.[Continuity2 1]

Notes

Continuity Notes

Total War:

  1. Peter mentions the damage done to Empire State University by the Human Torch. That happened in Fantastic Four #373.
  2. Richard and Alfredo's plot spiraled out of control in Web of Spider-Man #84-89.

The Origin of Nightwatch:

  1. It is later revealed in She-Hulk (Vol. 3) #12, that Nightwatch used to be a villain called Nighteater. He later cast a spell to change history so that he is known as a hero, Nightwatch. To date, how this affects the history of Nightwatch is unexplained. However, given the characters in this story who appear in the Nightwatch series, the events of the She-Hulk story occurred after Trench got his costume, and before he ended up on the deserted island.

Chronology Notes

Events in The Origin of Nightwatch occur behind the scenes that affect the chronology of the following characters:
