Synopsis for "...Nothing to Fear"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #12

For daring to unite against the omnipotent power of Doctor Doom the heroes on Battleworld have been annihilated for their defiance. Seeing the smoldering wreckage of Doombase is Zsaji and her people who rush to the location to see what befell the champions who defended them against the evil beset upon them. From his new home at the Tower of Doom, Doctor Doom assures Klaw that he has slain the heroes and they will not stand in his way again, that his is certain. Meanwhile, millions of miles away, the villains who were brought to Battleworld are transporting the city of Denver back to Earth thanks to the enhanced powers of the Molecule Man. Curious as to what is happening on Battleworld, the Enchantress summons a water sprite from Marsha Rosenberg's bathtub and has it reveal what has happened on Battleworld since their departure. It reveals to her that the Beyonder has seemingly perished and Doctor Doom has stolen his power. The Enchantress hopes for a moment of vulnerability so she can strike at Doom before he can use his power against her. When the Lizard begins to freak out, the Enchantress uses the distraction to call out to Volcana in order to make her pay for helping her reach the Molecule Man earlier in the Secret Wars when he was injured and she wanted to be by his side. Taking Marsha to a nearby park, Amora intends to steal her life force in order to gain additional power. Meanwhile, the Molecule Man fights it out with Doctor Octopus who has come to doubt his ability to get them home. After Owen restrains Otto, the Lizard points out that Marsha is missing. They find her in the Enchantress' clutches and attack. When Amora tries to teleport back to Battleworld, the Lizard leaps at her and is transported there as well. When the Lizard slashes her face, the Enchantress absorbs his life force in order to return to Asgard.

Meanwhile, Doctor Doom slumbers and while he does Klaw tries to get close to him but Doom quickly awakens. Klaw then begins instilling doubt in Doom's mind, telling him that he may not have killed the heroes as he thought. Doom plays into this and Klaw creates a hologram showing the healer Zsaji using her power to revive Colossus, dying in the process. Heartbroken, Colossus brings his fellow heroes back to Doombase and uses the medical devices there to revive the others. Doom denies this theory, even when Klaw suggests that he subconsciously did not want them to die. When Doom continues to deny this, suddenly he is proven wrong when Thor's hammer comes crashing through the wall. Doom's power flares out of control destroying a nearby planet. With the heroes about to besiege him, he listens to Klaw's suggestion of giving him a portion of his power to deal with the heroes. Klaw is given a fraction of Doom's stolen power and he goes out to face the heroes. Using this new power he creates monsters for them to fight as well as a rebuilt Ultron. The Thing slugs it out with one of the monsters when suddenly he starts to revert back to Ben Grimm, through sheer force of will he prevents his transformation, cementing the idea in his mind that Battleworld allows him to change back and forth. Elsewhere on the battle field, Ultron has some of the others on the ropes when suddenly he blows up. The reason why becomes apparent when the Wasp emerges from his ruined shell, having used her bio-stings to damage his vulnerable internal components.

As the battle rages on, Captain America gets past the monsters and Klaw to confront Doctor Doom directly. Doom tries to atomize Captain America, but the hero suddenly reappears every time he tries to destroy him. This causes Doom's power to flare out of control, what Klaw -- or rather the being possessing him -- has planned all along. When Doom is finally in a weakened state, the Beyonder emerges from Klaw's body and reclaims his stolen power, restoring Doom back to his normal state and banishing both he and Klaw away. With the Secret Wars now officially over, the heroes regroup back at Doombase to try and figure out a way to get back home. There, Colossus has a funeral for Zsaji and weeps over her grave. Later, Spider-Man finds that the X-Men have created new costumes for themselves. When he sees the others doing so as well he finds it curious that they are not using the same machine where he got his new uniform. The Hulk's leg is broken and Mister Fantastic binds it in a metal brace. As the heroes rest after their victory they are surprised when Curt Connors -- having reverted back to human form from the Lizard -- arrives. When this happy reunion between Connors and Spider-Man is happening, Nightcrawler wishes that Kitty's dragon Lockheed would return. Almost as if on cue, Lockheed does return with another small dragon in tow. Mister Fantastic meets with the others and explains that residual energies from the Beyonder are what is causing the strange series of "wish fulfillment" that they have experienced recently. Hearing this, Captain America goes into a back room with his shattered shield and is happy to see that he is able to repair it through sheer force of will.

Soon Mister Fantastic is able to cobble together a device that will allow him to teleport them all back home. First he sends back the Hulk, Magneto, Spider-Man, Curt Connors and Spider-Woman. Next are the X-Men after Professor X console Colossus over the loss of Zsaji, convincing him to come back with them so her sacrifice is not in vein. As Mister Fantastic prepares to teleport them away, the strange dragon that followed Lockheed flies into the teleportation beam, causing some strange feedback, leaving the rest to wonder what will happen to them when they return to Earth. Before the Avengers prepare to return home as well, the Thing arrives with She-Hulk, who is wearing a Fantastic Four costume. Ben explains to Reed and Johnny that he intends to stay on Battleworld for a while to enjoy the ability to change back and forth between human and Thing forms and has selected She-Hulk as his replacement on the team. After the Avengers teleport off, Ben insists that he is staying. Reed thinks briefly for a moment about telling Ben what he knows about his transformations and thinks against it, hoping he will discover the truth in time. Before going, Reed passes Ben the teleportation device so that Ben can use it whenever he is ready to return home. After Mister Fantastic, the Torch and She-Hulk are teleported away, Ben begins the first steps of his greatest adventure yet.

At thirteen, Jeanne-Marie Beaubier discovers her ability to fly during a suicide attempt jumping from the roof of her school.

In her mounting depression, a more rebellious and outgoing alternate personality begins to form. Five years later, when Jeanne earns a spot on the teaching staff at the school and her own bedroom, allowing her more freedom, she ends up giving up control to her other self enough for her to head out to a nightclub and afterwards uses her powers to fend off some muggers.

Synopsis for "Blood Battle!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Alpha Flight #10

In New York, James Hudson prepares to move into a new apartment as part of the job with Roxxon he has accepted. While he wonders what the rest of Alpha Flight is up to, Walter Langkowski is running for his life from the Super-Skrull, who has decided to make sport of his kill in the isolated Rocky Mountain wilderness that was the site of the research station that retrieved him from space. The stress causes Walter to transform into a savage version of Sasquatch that begins to overpower the Super-Skrull until the Skrull employs his hypnotic powers to calm the beast. Sasquatch manages to avoid falling under complete dominance, but fakes it in order to wait for the right moment. The Skrull explains that he was previously beamed away from Earth and doesn't quite know how he ended up back there. He intends to force Sasquatch to help him build a new transmitter device to help him escape. Sasquatch notices that all the Skrull's time as a radioactive signal has left him with a form of leukemia that is killing him. In the guise of mind-control, Sasquatch helps construct the device until the Super-Skrull is hit with another attack from his disease, then forces the Skrull into the device and prematurely actives it, scattering his enemy's atoms into the ether, and if they were ever to re-integrate, he would die immediately from the radiation poisoning. Walter figures this is as good a revenge as any for the murder of his colleagues, but he doesn't like the more monstrous side of himself he's discovered.

When he returns to his home in Vancouver, Walter is surprised to be met by Aurora, who only wants to be with him after parting ways with her brother. Walter wonders how this news will hit the rest of the team.
