Spider-Man Reptilian World: The Sinister Six are in jail and Norman Osborn is suffering for the crimes he committed. It would seem like everything is looking up for everyone's favorite Spider-Man. However, everything changes as Peter gets closer and closer to Dr. Curt Connors. During his time with Connors, Peter has learned of many different projects he is working on, each with incredible possibilities. But not all of these possibilities have been realized, as shown when an experiment on student Malcolm McBride transforms into the villain with the deadly touch named Carrion. It's only then, when Carrion touches Doctor Connors' newly grown arm, that Connors begins his transformation. As his arm regenerates, the Doctor begins to take on particularly reptilian features, eventually transforming into the villainous Lizard. When Peter defeats Carrion, he then must square off against Connors, revealing his secret identity in the process. However, Peter's fighting does little to stop the Doctor, who escapes into the sewers immediately after.
Later, while searching the sewers for Doctor Connors, Peter finds his new lab where it appears, the Doctor is brewing more of his healing serum that transformed him into the Lizard. However, he also has gas dispersal canisters, suggesting that he plans on transforming all of New York City into intelligent reptiles. Thus, it is up to Spider-Man to save the city from the killer Lizard, but he cannot do this alone, and seeks the assistance of a newly created enemy of the Lizard: Carrion.
Despite their differences, they both share a common goal, and Carrion is more than willing to kill Doctor Connors. Once on top of the Empire State Building, the Lizard, Spider-Man, and Carrion fight, resulting in Carrion's escape and the Lizard's arrest, ending another event in Spider-Man's busy world.

Darkhawk: Christopher Powell was just a normal teenager living in Los Angeles before he found an amulet near an abandoned building that when touched, transferred his subconscious into an android body. With a spare body now available to him, Powell begins to fight crime with his cybernetic body under the name Darkhawk.
Six months later, Darkhawk has become the best non-Avenger on the West Coast. However, everything changes when Darkhawk encounters an android exactly like him. After his Darkhawk body is deactivated, Powell wakes up in a space station. Scared and confused, Darkhawk attempts to fight his way out of the station, but is stopped by another Hawk. This Hawk then explains the origins of Darkhawk and the other android bodies.
Years ago, the crime-lord Dargin Bokk wanted to create an expendable army of androids. However, only five were ever made, and were stolen by the scientists who stored them in an empty dimension known as Null Space. These scientists formed a group known as the Fraternity of Raptors to protect these suits. However, Bokk followed them, killing one of the scientists and stealing their amulet, giving him power over one of the Hawk armors. And while the four remaining scientists were able to fight Bokk off, it didn't stop him from killing another, leaving one of the amulets unused. To ensure that Bokk would never get the other amulet, the remaining Fraternity of Raptors members ejected the amulet to another dimension. So, it seems like Christopher Powell was destined to be the newest owner of the Darkhawk amulet. However, the ever looming danger of Bokk returning with his Evilhawk armor to finish the job and obtain the remaining Hawk androids still remains.
This seems to come to fruition, as Evilhawk soon attacks Powell's hometown of LA in an attempt to destroy or steal the Darkhawk android. To protect the new Darkhawk's user, the three scientists are forced to remove their Hawk armors from their Null Space storage and head to Earth. Together with the remaining Hawks, Talon, Kyte, and Strel, Darkhawk is able to fight off the Hunter Drones and Evilhawk, keeping the Darkhawk armor safe for the time being.
After credits scene:
Talon is seen in Null Space, investigating the data of the Fraternity of Raptors. He then sees holograms of Kyte and Strel killing unarmed civilians, and realizes that the Fraternity of Raptors is not as innocent as he was told. He then activates his Hawk armor's wings.

Hawkeye Brotherly Hate: Clint Barton returns as Hawkeye for another solo adventure, this time spurred on as Hawkeye is threatened by allegations of murder across California, with each crime being committed by the same type of arrows the archer uses. To prove himself innocent, Hawkeye goes on a hunt for the person who has framed him, only to discover the culprit is his supposedly dead brother, Barney "Chuck" Barton.
When the two finally confront one another, Chuck is able to recount his death and revival: following his apparent death by Clint during a standard mercenary raid, Chuck was found by Baron Zemo of Hydra and put into a cryo pod for 9-10 years. Once he awoke and saw how much time he lost, he broke out of Hydra and went to take revenge on his supposed killer. He then began to frame Clint in an attempt to draw him out so that he could be eliminated once and for all. The two then fight, but it's apparent that they are evenly matched. Eventually, Chuck escapes and leaves Hawkeye critically wounded. However, Hawkeye's apprentice, Kate Bishop, is there to transport him to a hospital.
Kate then explains how strange it is that he isn't at the circus, which Clint questions, and Kate explains how she heard Trickshot had returned to his work, and that it was Clint taking on his master's former name. Clint, believing perhaps his actual master is alive, heads to the carnival, where instead of Trickshot, he finds Chuck in Trickshot's clothing. The two then square off, with Chuck eventually incapacitating Hawkeye. Once in the back, Hawkeye sees that the old mercenary group has assembled: Chuck, Crossfire, and Bullseye. With these three together, Clint knows that something is going to happen, which Chuck confirms by saying they plan to kill the Vice President in the name of Clint, making him the number one terrorist in the world. However, the team is unaware of a certain apprentice, who arrives and shoots Chuck, causing Crossfire and Bullseye to abandon Chuck and flee. Then, in an almost poetic way, Hawkeye fires the killing arrow to his brother. With Chuck dead, Clint has no way to show that he didn't commit the crimes, however, leading to Hawkeye and Kate hunting down Bullseye and Crossfire, and making them confess to the murders they helped commit.
After credits scene:
Kate is shown walking into her bunk at the New Avengers Training Camp, when Hawkeye stops her.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 8: The Guardians of the Galaxy return with an all-new roster of: Star Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Moondragon, Quasar, and Captain Marvel. Their most recent mission has brought them to a planet called Sirus X, where an incredibly religious terrorist group awaits them. Due to the recent massacres this group has committed, the Guardians are ready for a firefight almost instantly, but are instead greeted by open arms. They are then escorted to a small chapel, where they meet a woman known as the Matriarch, who welcomes them to the Universal Church of Truth. She then explains how 5,000 years ago, a being known as the Magus arrived on their world and cleansed it of non-believers. Those who survived worshipped the Magus, and helped him transform their worship of him into a massive galaxy-spanning organization.
However, as recent as 100 years ago, the Magus was overthrown by the religion's version of the devil: Adam Warlock. Appalled by what the Magus had created, Warlock retreated into a cocoon for millennia, eventually being delivered to the Collector, where he remained until his reappearance in modern day. When the Guardians try to persuade the UCT to stop their killings of non-believers because the Magus wouldn't want that, the Matriarch enters a blind rage, forcing the Guardians to flee. Hoping that the real Adam Warlock can set these zealots straight, the Guardians search Knowhere and Xandar for any information regarding the location of their exiled friend. This eventually leads them to encounter a small creature known as Pip the Troll, who used to know Adam Warlock.
Pip then explains that over a hundred years ago, Pip's species was wiped out by the UCT when they refused to convert. Pip escaped the onslaught, and twenty years later, Adam Warlock contacted Pip to express his sincerest apologies for what the Magus and the UCT had done to his people. Following this, Pip and Warlock ventured to a far away world that Warlock said could be a new world for his people, and that if Pip killed Adam Warlock, the souls trapped inside the Soul Stone Warlock possessed would be freed, including those of Pip's people. Regrettably, Pip had gotten used to being alone and the last of his kind, so the idea of reuniting with them was too overwhelming, and Pip teleported away.
The Guardians then take Pip with them, and journey to this planet, where they discover Adam Warlock living alone in self-pity, and convince him to return to help destroy the UCT. The group then returns to Sirus X, where they see a fleet is building up, supposedly for a new invasion, where Adam confronts the Matriarch over her abuse of power. Matriarch's response is to declare Adam Warlock a false prophet, but is unable to defeat Adam Warlock, who kills Matriarch, and takes over the UCT, claiming to be the Magus, and using the zealots for good.
After credits scene:
The Guardians are seen dropping Pip back off at Xandar. Pip then walks into a bar, where he grabs a drink alongside Howard the Duck and Yondu.

Venom War: Since Venom's existence was first released, symbiotes have begun to pop up all over the world, claiming to be the spawns of Venom. Though, to date, only Carnage and Scorpion's Symbiote have been proven to have come from the classic black symbiote. But all of this seems to have changed, as five offspring of Venom were forcibly created through Scorpion's symbiote suit by the Life Foundation, and bonded to five people to create a team of supercops: Scream, Lasher, Phage, Agony, and Riot. However, their plan doesn't go as planned, and the symbiotes start a murder spree, requiring the one hero who knows the most about symbiotes to be called in: Flash Thompson, Agent Venom. He then tracks down these creatures and is soon able to overcome the symbiotes and kill the hosts, capturing the symbiotes in holding tanks.
On his next mission, Agent Venom is told that the Scorpion Symbiote, the identical twin to Thompson's own Venom symbiote, has escaped containment, and is hunting down its original owner: Eddie Brock. The scientist informing Thompson then explains that Eddie was never killed, just put into a coma for years, and when he woke up six months ago, he was put in witness protection, and has since worked in a soup kitchen, feeding the homeless. This seems odd to Thompson, knowing that Venom was a killer monster, but the scientist says that all those years without the symbiote cleansed Brock of evil thoughts, returning him to the kind hearted person he once was.
Agent Venom then heads to the soup kitchen, where, not more than a second later, the Venom Twin symbiote arrives, attaching itself to Eddie. Mr. Li, Eddie's manager, then takes matters into his own hands, revealing his inhuman powers, absorbing the darkness within the symbiote, transforming it into a white symbiote Eddie then refers to as Anti-Venom. Without the murderous intent of Venom, Brock is able to take complete control of Anti-Venom, and declares he plans on using it for good.
During this, the Life Foundation has taken the five symbiotes they had to a secret facility, but the five then form together and fuse with Scott Washington, creating the symbiote known as Hybrid. The new symbiote then hunts down Anti-Venom, attempting to kill him for his betrayal of true symbiotes when he first fought Carnage. He attempts to attack Anti-Venom and Agent Venom, but is killed as a result of his poor planning. Anti-Venom then decides to part from Agent Venom, wishing to use his vigilante justice for good without the government watching over him.
After credits scene:
Carnage is seen in the Avengers vault, the ice slowly thawing around him, enough so that a piece of the symbiote drops down to the sewer below.
Screen cuts to black as the Carnage scream goes.
West Coast Avengers Terminus Rising: The West Coast Avengers return with an all-new roster of: Hawkeye, Wonder Man, Arachne, Darkhawk, X-51, Firebird, and Tigra. Following their conflict with Alkhema, the West Coast Avengers hoped they were done with killer robots. They were wrong, as during a routine fly-by in Los Angeles, Darkhawk is infected by a techno parasite known as Terminus, which he unknowingly brings back to the WCA Mansion, infecting X-51, thereby progressing the techno virus to stage 2.
As this monster evolves within X-51, the WCA encounter a new hero at their doorstep: John Walker, the US Agent. It would appear that the US government is requiring the WCA to have the US Agent on their team to ensure that the WCA is regulated by the government. Reluctantly, the team accepts Walker, only for them to face their very first test as Terminus reanimates and takes control of X-51. Terminus then explains that it was sent thousands of years ago to conquer Earth before the Celestials could, something Terminus still believes is possible.
While the WCA is able to eject Terminus's consciousness from X-51, they more than anyone know how much damage a murderous robot can do, and go out to search for him. However, when they locate Terminus, they see how different this killer robot is from Ultron or Alkhema, as instead of building robot drones, Terminus has simply infected hundreds of humans, transforming them into half-robot slaves. The reason for this is still unknown to the WCA, and they head down to the robot's mine to learn more. Once down there, they see these half-robots are mining metals and radioactive material, which they then ingest and use to augment themselves. They then witness as multiple of these mining robots combine together to form a larger robot, clearly intended to be the master body of Terminus. Thus, to destroy this metal amalgamation, the WCA decide to use the anti-metal Vibranium.
With Hawkeye's Vibranium arrows, US Agent's Vibranium Energy Shield, and X-51's Vibranium chainsaw, the team attempts to take down Terminus, only to realize that a gamma ray force field surrounds this master body. Now in full site, the WCA is attacked full force by Terminus's mindless slaves. During the fighting, Wonder Man is seemingly murdered by Terminus, his ionic form being absorbed into the robot's body. With his suit coursing with ionic energy, Terminus leaves the site to begin his conquest of the Earth.
Eventually, Terminus once again reveals himself as he scorches the beaches of San Diego with his limitless energy, calling the WCA to him. Once there, the WCA again try to confront him, but remain powerless to stop him. That is, until Wonder Man is able to reform himself inside of Terminus, destroying Terminus's master body from the inside. With his core exposed, Terminus is powerless to stop Hawkeye from destroying it, ending the threat of Terminus.

Ant-Man Quantum War: The Pym Particle has always been a well protected secret, with only one person ever recreating the formula: Darren Cross, the Yellowjacket. But all of this has changed, as it would appear that AIM has begun construction of their own Yellowjacket suit: The Black Ant Suit. However, the most important ingredient that makes the Ant-Man, Wasp, and Yellowjacket suits so powerful remains just out of their grasp. Thus, AIM sends forth its greatest agent to steal the Pym Particle: Eric O'Grady.
With Scott Lang existing openly as Ant-Man, O'Grady is easily able to find him and steal a Pym Particle canister. But when Scott and Hope beat down AIM's front door, they learn that O'Grady never came back with the Black Ant suit. With O'Grady out there with the Black Ant suit, no one really knows what he could do with it, and Ant-Man and the Wasp begin their search for this fiend. What they find, however, is not exactly the diabolical plan they expected. Instead of robbing banks and murdering orphans, they find O'Grady shrinking himself for little more than to look at women naked and to hide from his landlord. Though despicable by Hope's standards, Scott knows that most guys would do the very same thing, and just goes right in there, attempting to talk to O'Grady. The reaction, however, is less than stellar. Instead of O'Grady knowing Lang as the superhero Ant-Man, he still sees Scott as a master thief. Thus, he presents Scott with an ultimatum: help him steal back some priceless jewels from a former friend, and O'Grady will return the Black Ant suit to Lang, particle and all.
Reluctantly, Scott agrees to the caper, and helps O'Grady steal the jewels, only for O'Grady to turn on Scott and lock him within the airtight safe. However, O'Grady forgot to get rid of Scott's communications, allowing him to make contact with Hope, who bails him out of the safe, only to be caught by O'Grady's old friend: The Black Fox, who confesses to have stolen the jewels in the first place. Thus, this trio goes to hunt down O'Grady, who they find back at his apartment, but without the jewels. They then question him, upon which O'Grady reveals he pawned the jewels hours before, and that the only way to get them back would be to team-up and steal the jewels from the pawn shop owner.
Scott, hoping to ensnare O'Grady in the same situation he was trapped in, agrees, despite Hope's objections, and the four break into the pawn shop, and steal the jewels back. Yet, despite Scott's cunning, O'Grady always knew Scott would betray him, and prepared a back-up plan, stabbing one of Scott's Pym Particle canisters, unleashing uncontrolled Pym Particles upon him, Scott, and Hope, sending them to the Quantum Realm. Once there, the two fight each other, bouncing off beta particles and punching through protons. At the same time, the Black Fox attempts to fight the Wasp, something he regrets within moments of Hope's first punch. By the end of the battle, O'Grady is almost out of Pym Particles, with Scott still able to leave the Quantum Realm. However, as Scott possesses a heart, he brings O'Grady back to the real world. Once back, Scott makes sure that the Black Ant suit is inaccessible, and shrinks it down to the Quantum Realm.

Avengers Battleworld Part I: Throughout the years, the Avengers have fought against hundreds of villains of all shapes and sizes, but they have never faced one like the one they are about to face. Unknown to them, an eternal force has watched them this entire time, fascinated by their skill. That force is the Beyonder, who after years of observation, has decided to make himself known to the Avengers when he arrives in Central Park. When the Avengers arrive, he teleports fifteen heroes of Earth to a far away galaxy. These fifteen heroes, Iron Man, Captain America, Spider-Man, Captain Britain, Tigra, Thor, Iron Fist, Ghost Rider, Captain Marvel, Hulk, She-Hulk, Hawkeye, Hercules, Wasp, and Black Panther, then witness an entire galaxy be destroyed right before their very eyes. The only remnant of this galaxy is a single star, with a small planet orbiting it.
The Beyonder then explains that this is Battleworld, a planet created by him to test the prowess of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. He then reveals that along with the fifteen heroes, the Beyonder has brought along fifteen villains whom he revived specifically to challenge this cabal of heroes. These fifteen villains, Doctor Octopus, Loki, Klaw, Ultron, Carnage, Green Goblin, Nightmare, Red Hulk, MODOK, the Hood, Crossfire, Red Skull, High Evolutionary, Ares, and Moonstone, are then revealed, and brought down to the planet alongside the heroes. The Beyonder then claims that whichever team is eliminated first shall be free to leave, while the others are trapped.
Thus, each team land on the planet, quickly discovering that the Battleworld is made of hundreds of different worlds. As the heroes travel across the plains of Sakaar, they encounter Red Hulk and Moonstone, who force Captain Marvel and Hulk to face them in gladiatorial combat. As these forces face off, Iron Man, Captain America, and Wasp continue across the world, encountering a large city that soon reveals itself as a piece of the Skrull home world, as Iron Man and Captain America are attacked by clones of themselves. On the other side of the world, Spider-Man, Tigra, and Hawkeye encounter a portion of the planet inhabited by symbiotes, with Carnage waiting for them.
At this same time, another group composed of She-Hulk, Black Panther, Thor, and Hercules encounter a jungle arena where Klaw ambushes She-Hulk and T'Challa, as Loki uses his illusionary magic to pull Thor and Hercules into a trap. Finally, Ghost Rider, Iron Fist, and Captain Britain enter a burning realm that is revealed to be a piece of the realm of Surtur, as the team is attacked by Fire Demons and Nightmare. Little known to the heroes though, these chunks are only tiny chunks of Battleworld, as Green Goblin, MODOK, and Doctor Octopus find a city that looks similar to New York City, where they are attacked by a younger, black-suited Spider-Man.
As the other heroes fight, Hulk and Captain Marvel defeat Red Hulk and Moonstone, revealing the true controller over this match: the megalomaniac robot Ultron, who they fight to the death, killing Ultron once more. Back at the Skrull world, Wasp, Tony, and Bucky defeat their Skrull copies, only to be attacked by Hydra soldiers, under the control of the revived Red Skull. Back with the team on the fiery flames of Muspelheim, the heroes have defeated Nightmare, and stolen a tracker from his ashes, revealing the locations of the villains, with Ares incredibly close by. As this revelation unveils, Hawkeye and Tigra are attacked by Crossfire as Spider-Man faces Carnage and the surrounding symbiotes. With Loki defeated, Hercules and Thor find themselves up against the High Evolutionary, who finds himself unable to de-evolve others, leading to his instant defeat by the team of Gods. Then, as Black Panther and She-Hulk defeat Klaw, the two also obtain a villain tracker, and see that the only remaining villains are MODOK, Green Goblin, and Doctor Octopus.
Eventually, all the heroes meet up in New York City, each having found or made a tracker, where they see this black suited Spider-Man fighting MODOK and Green Goblin, with a defeated Doctor Octopus in the corner. The other heroes join in, and the two villains are quickly defeated. The new Spider-Man reveals he is Miles Morales, and Bruce Banner soon realizes that he was pulled from another universe. With all the villains defeated, the heroes and Miles Morales request to be returned to their homes, only to be surrounded by an infinite number of Beyonders, who refuse to return them, and that the contest shall restart, which it will do again and again for all of time.

Agents of Atlas: After the President of the United States is kidnapped by a chinese terrorist group known as the Atlas Foundation, a team is created to retrieve him. Hal Chandler, better known as 3-D Man. is a man who when he wears his 3D glasses, transforms into his dead NASA pilot brother, Chuck Chandler, who was mutated by radiation from a Skrull ship that abducted him, granting him triple the strength, stamina, and speed of a normal person. Robert Grayson, better known as Marvel Boy, is the son of a Holocaust survivor who took his family to Uranus, where Robert was granted powers by elderly Uranian Celestials. Gorilla-Man, once known as Kenneth Hale, is an immortal talking gorilla who transformed after shooting the former Gorilla-Man to gain immortality. Despite being a gorilla, Gorilla-Man maintains his human personality and was recruited to this project after recommendation by Jane Hastings. Namora, cousin of Namor The Sub-Mariner and a former ally of Woo's during the Gulf War, discovered M-11 deactivated underwater some time ago, and revived him to fight by her side. Venus, as many assumed, is the Olympian Goddess of Love and Beauty, who like Hercules, has come down from Mount Olympus to help those in need, and sensed that her friend, Namora, needed guidance, and agreed to help. Together, alongside secret agent Jimmy Woo, the team known as the Agents of Atlas is established.
The team then heads to China, where they encounter the leader of the Atlas Foundation, Yellow Claw. Following their encounter with Yellow Claw, the agents are kidnapped and taken to a jail cell where they are overseen by Derek Khanata. However, Khanata is secretly a SHIELD Agent put undercover in Atlas years ago. He then breaks out the agents, and escorts them to Yellow Claw's chambers, where he and his dragon adviser, Mr. Lao, were waiting for the agents to arrive. Yellow Claw then reveals his true identity of an immortal Mongol khan known as Plan Chu. He then explains how all of this was to ensure that Jimmy Woo was ready to ascend to his rightful place as a khan and to marry his daughter, Suwan. With his character proven, Jimmy Woo takes over Atlas, releasing the President, and then witnesses how Plan Chu disappears into the ether, his job now complete. Thus, the Agents of Atlas turn the Atlas Foundation into a force for good, and Jimmy Woo marries Suwan.

Squadron Supreme: The Avengers are dead, the Defenders are dead, Spider-Man is dead, the
Midnight Sons, the Legion of Monsters, and the Agents of Atlas are dead. In this alternate dimension, a new generation of superheroes has risen to overthrow the cybernetic aliens that have enslaved the Earth. Composed of the invincible Hyperion, the vigilante Nighthawk, the Power Princess, the Speed Demon, the mystical Doctor Spectrum, the aquatic man known as Amphibian, and the Skrull defector Skymax fought against their robotic overlords together as the Squadron Supreme for three years. Now, they have reached the final confrontation. Deep in the ocean, in the city that was once called Atlantis, remains the last alien cyborgs, clinging to what power they have left over the world using a relic known as the Serpent Crown.
Once the cyborgs are destroyed, the team returns to the United States where they speak with US President Nelson Rockefeller about their discoveries. As Rockefeller announces he plans to destroy Atlantis to prevent the Serpent Crown from being used, another force attacks the Squadron: the last Eternal, Grom. As the rest of the Squadron Supreme fights Grom, Speed Demon escorts the President out of the situation. When the Squadron tracks Grom's escape, they discover the location of an unknown base, and investigate, only to encounter a dark force trying to break free: Null the Living Darkness.
At the same time, President Rockefeller arrives at Atlantis where he and his cult, the Serpent Cartel, retrieve the Serpent Crown, granting Rockefeller unimaginable power. When the Living Darkness is finally contained, the Squadron returns to Washington, where they are assaulted by the Serpent Cartel, revealing President Rockefeller's true allegiance.
As the Squadron duels the serpent followers, Rockefeller activates the Serpent Crown, ensnaring Amphibian, Power Princess, and Nighthawk. With only Skymax, Hyperion, Doctor Spectrum, and Speed Demon remaining, Rockefeller summons Null the Living Darkness to bring chaos upon the world. Thus, Skymax, Doctor Spectrum, and Speed Demon fight against Null as Hyperion heads straight for Rockefeller, removing the Serpent Crown, releasing Amphibian, Power Princess, and Nighthawk. Then, to ensnare Null, Nighthawk puts on the Serpent Crown, using its power to imprison Null once more. With Null back in chains and Rockefeller facing charges of crimes against humanity, the Squadron Supreme reign victorious.

Rockefeller and the Grandmaster then teleport away.

Avengers Battleworld Part II: Fifteen of Earth's mightiest heroes have been trapped on Battleworld for over a month with their greatest villains, all of whom have joined forces in hopes of fighting the Beyonder. At the same time, Doctor Strange has assembled an away team to travel to this world to fight the Beyonder composed of: Scarlet Witch, Vision, Ant-Man, Beta Ray Bill, Sentry, and Werewolf by Night. While he's gone, Strange has appointed a new team to protect the Earth as the away team leaves: Blade, Spectrum, Namor, Moon Knight, Arachne, Rescue, Luke Cage, and Daredevil. Strange then takes his away team through a portal, bringing them to Battleworld.
Once there, Strange's heroes encounter two factions at war: Those who oppose the Beyonder, and those who agree to serve him in exchange for leadership over the many worlds or through brainwashing. On the opposition is Captain America, Spider-Man, Hulk, Miles Morales, Captain Britain, Tigra, Hercules, Hawkeye, Wasp, Black Panther, Red Hulk, and Iron Fist, High Evolutionary, Moonstone, Ares, Crossfire, Klaw, and Doctor Octopus. On the side of submission to the Beyonder stands Iron Man, Hulk, Ghost Rider, Loki, Green Goblin, the Hood, Red Skull, MODOK, She-Hulk, and Thor. Who is brainwashed and who isn't is unknown to Strange, so he tells his allies all who align with the Beyonder are enemies. The opposition then explains that all who openly opposed the Beyonder alone, Carnage, Nightmare, and Ultron, were destroyed. Thus, Strange says he shall lead the army of heroes against the Beyonder, claiming that his magic can destroy the Beyonder. Next, Strange says he plans on clearing the brainwashing that ensnares their allies, leading them to the respective districts the brainwashed heroes control.
First, Strange incapacitates Ghost Rider, then frees him of the Beyonder's control, followed by doing the same with Thor and She-Hulk. The team then head to Iron Man's world, where they are attacked by hundreds of suits, including a new half-symbiote suit Tony has on. During the fighting, Strange is able to kill Tony's suit, freeing him from the Beyonder's control, leaving only Hulk and the Beyonder's villains to protect him.
Finally Strange has the entire opposition army storm the Beyonder's castle, where they encounter the Beyonder itself, with Hulk at his side as a bodyguard. But before Hulk even attacks, he turns around and slugs the Beyonder in the face, revealing he was never brainwashed and was merely buying time. Thus, the Beyonder teleports his forces to his castle, where a massive fight between the allies and opposition occurs, killing almost every superhero and supervillain in the process. However, during this, Doctor Strange was able to reach the Beyonder, and through his magic, was able to drain his power from him and absorb it, granting Strange all the reality changing abilities of the Beyonder.
With all this power, Strange could rule the universe unopposed, but instead chooses to use the power to revive those killed on Battleworld, and return them to their respective homes, minus those killed before the events of this Secret War. Strange then disassembles Battleworld, returning the chunks of planets to their previous existence, and entrapping the Beyonder in an empty universe from which he can never leave.
