[Marvel Super Heroes] Secret Wars #[nn]

In "Endings!", Spider-Man races after Hobgoblin through a crumbling lair, only to crash into the river with the fleeing villain. As the wreckage explodes, he pulls what’s left of Hobgoblin’s mask from the wreckage—then learns J. Jonah Jameson has handed over the Daily Bugle to Robbie Robertson, stepping back as publisher. With the city in chaos and a strange alien complex pulsing in Central Park, Spider-Man feels drawn toward it, stepping into the unknown as the Secret Wars begin.

In "From Out of the Night Comes... Boomerang!", Bruce Banner's gamma therapy saves a dying dog, but his breakthrough draws the attention of Max Stryker, a former crime lord seeking a cure for his own ailments. Stryker sends the deadly Boomerang to capture Banner, leading to a clash with the Hulk and a hostage situation involving Kate. Forced to use his untested cure on Stryker, Bruce sets off a chain of events that leads the Hulk away—distracted by a mysterious structure in Central Park—leaving the fate of Boomerang and his companion unresolved.

In "Marking Time," the Thing and Alicia Masters share a quiet day in Central Park, finding connection amid the city’s rhythm—until the sudden arrival of the Torch and Mr. Fantastic pulls them into the chaos of the Secret Wars.

In "The Past Is a Bucket of Ashes," Thor sheds the Don Blake identity for a new secret life as Sigurd Jarlson, a construction worker under Nick Fury’s watch. When a brutal attack by the dragon Fafnir destroys the worksite, Sigurd must confront a past that refuses to stay buried.

In "Easy Come... Easy Go!", the Avengers are still reeling from their latest mission when Hawkeye returns with his new wife, Mockingbird, and Vision is finally restored to his body. Just as the team begins to settle in, Thor arrives, adding to the chaos—only for Wasp to be overwhelmed by the sudden influx of heroes. Before they can catch their breath, Vision detects a massive power surge in Central Park, and six Avengers are abruptly whisked away to the Secret Wars.

In "Home Are the Heroes," Sue Storm is left behind as Reed, Johnny, and Ben vanish into the chaos of the Secret Wars, struggling to make sense of their absence alongside a handful of Avengers. When the team finally returns, Sue must confront the unexpected changes: Ben has chosen to stay behind, She-Hulk has joined the Fantastic Four, and her own personal challenges with the baby add new weight to the reunion.

In "The War Begins," heroes and villains alike are thrust into orbit aboard strange spacecraft, witnessing the birth of Battleworld as the enigmatic Beyonder declares their fate: conquer enemies and their deepest desires will be fulfilled. With Galactus and Doom both repelled in their defiance, the factions are scattered across the new realm—heroes turn on Magneto, while Doom struggles to reason with the villains, only to be shot down by Kang before reaching Reed.

In "Prisoners of War!", the heroes' first victory in the Secret War sets off a chain of unexpected turns as Doom exploits the chaos to awaken Ultron and seize control. With the villains forced to accept his leadership and the heroes reeling from Magneto’s sudden strike—leaving the Wasp in his grasp—tensions escalate across the battlefield. Ben Grimm, still grappling with his transformed state, finds himself confronting the limits of his identity as the war reshapes alliances and identities in ways no one saw coming.

In the storm-lashed chaos of Battleworld, the Wasp finds herself entangled with Magneto, while the Hulk grapples with unsettling doubts about his own mind. Spidey, caught between loyalty and betrayal, lashes out when he learns the X-Men plan to defect—only to have his memories erased by Xavier. As dawn breaks, the heroes are caught off guard when the villains strike, and the fragile alliance begins to unravel.

In "Situation: Hopeless!", the heroes are crushed by a devastating defeat—villains overrun their base, capture their allies, and Molecule Man unleashes a mountain range on the remnants of the team. With Thor and the Enchantress returning to a battlefield they can't win, the X-Men and Magneto form an uneasy alliance, and the Wasp seizes a fleeting chance to break free. As Torch and Captain Marvel channel their powers through Iron Man to escape the rubble, they find shelter in a hidden alien village—where a healer tends to their wounds, unaware that Galactus looms above, watching.

In "The Battle of Four Armies!", the stakes rise as Galactus' massive home ship descends upon the battlefield, forcing every faction—heroes and villains alike—to scramble for survival. With Torch forming an unexpected bond with the Zsaji, the Wrecking Crew clashing with Molecule Man and Volcana, and Doom secretly infiltrating the alien vessel, tensions explode across the arena. As the X-Men arrive to turn the tide, Colossus is gravely wounded—and reaches out to the mysterious healer Zsaji—just as the true nature of Galactus' arrival begins to unfold.

In "A Little Death...", the fate of the planet hangs in the balance as Galactus prepares his arrival, setting off a chain of desperate moves across the battlefield. With the Wasp stranded in a swamp and the Lizard under watch, alliances shift and secrets surface—Colossus finds himself drawn to Zsaji, while Xavier races to uncover Doom’s hidden designs. As teams clash and volcanic tremors ripple through the land, the stakes rise with every step toward an unknown confrontation.

In "Berserker!", the heroes of Battleworld face a brutal ambush when the Wrecker and his allies deliver the lifeless body of the Wasp, leaving Jo and the others reeling. With Magneto uncovering Doom’s hidden presence and She-Hulk charging Doombase alone for vengeance, tensions rise as the X-Men prepare to monitor Galactus’s return—while the Avengers brace for a desperate rescue.

In the wake of the Wasp’s apparent death, a team of heroes launches a brutal assault on the villains’ stronghold, overwhelming them and bringing back a wounded She-Hulk. Just as they regroup, they’re stunned to learn the Wasp is alive—her recovery tied to the mysterious Zsaji—and soon after, Spidey discovers his suit has been reborn by a strange machine, its black form shifting to fit him perfectly. With Xavier’s urgent warning echoing across Battleworld, the heroes realize their victory is only the beginning: Galactus has begun devouring the realm itself.

In "Assault on Galactus!", the X-Men join forces with the assembled heroes of Battleworld in a desperate bid to stop Galactus from devouring the planet. As Spidey adjusts to his new black suit and Dr. Doom makes a shocking move by rescuing Klaw, the mighty being begins to feed on his own world ship, growing weaker but still unstoppable.

In the crumbling aftermath of Battleworld’s collapse, Dr. Doom—empowered by stolen energy and a set of lenses forged from Klaw’s remains—faces the Beyonder in a final, desperate stand. As the landscape fractures around them, Doom emerges with a shocking declaration: the war is over, and victory is his.

In the aftermath of Doom’s ascension, with the Beyonder’s power in his grasp, the heroes face a grim choice: accept his offer or stand against him. When a mysterious force invades Spider-Woman and transfers to Klaw, the team realizes the threat is deeper than they thought. As they prepare to confront Doom one final time, the fate of Battleworld hangs in the balance—no promises, no guarantees, just the weight of their decision.

In the aftermath of Battleworld’s chaos, the heroes return—forever changed—while the villains’ schemes unravel. With Doom’s grip on the Beyonder’s power slipping, Klaw’s manipulation sets off a chain reaction that reshapes everyone’s fate: Spider-Man dons a new black alien suit, Curt Connors is cured, the Hulk bears a broken leg, and the X-Men emerge with fresh looks and a returning Lockheed. The Thing stays behind, She-Hulk joins the Fantastic Four, and Captain America’s shield is whole again—though the cost of their return remains unspoken.
