The heroes have been trapped in limbo by the Space Phantom and start to get personal with each other as they play a waiting game. Venom is still on Battleworld and demands that the Beyonder reward him as all of the other heroes are gone but, as they are still alive, his request goes unanswered. As the Space Phantom returns to limbo to switch bodies, the heroes capture him and force him to return them to Battleworld. The Watcher arrives just in time to watch Hank Pym mow down his companions and win the Beyonder's game.
