Thanos, having shanghaied five
villains and transported them to the planet Ha’arg to kidnap the Oracle of
Ancient Knowledge from his monastery, has taken the Oracle and abandoned his
secret defenders to the wrath of the monks. So Geatar, Nitro, Rhino, Super-Skrull,
and Titanium Man are fighting their way to their ship, Nitro being on the point
of death. They reach the ship and discover that Thanos wasn’t lying when he
told them he had destroyed the craft. Super-Skrull tries to create a force
field to protect them but he is knocked out by a bullet from one of the monks.
Titanium Man has a suggestion: he can repair the ship’s escape pod and propel
it into space with the others aboard—but his power will be depleted and they
will drift. Geatar tells him to go ahead as there are no other options. As
Geatar and Rhino hold off the enemy, T-Man fixes up the pod, they board and
take off. They drift through space, the oxygen soon running out and Geatar is
the last to lose consciousness…
…and then they awaken to find
themselves on an asteroid, facing Silver Surfer and Legacy. Surfer explains
that he picked up their distress signal and brought them to this asteroid and
provided it with an oxygen atmosphere. But Geatar is angry at the Surfer having
captured his captain Nebula and shoots him with a ray blast. But he recovers
quickly to stop escalation of hostilities. Surfer intends to take Geatar to
Titan to face justice. He heals the injured villains. Nitro deduces from his
name and costume who Legacy is and takes perverse delight in shaking Legacy’s
hand. The hero doesn’t know what to make of it [Nitro recognized Legacy as the
son of the hero he killed, Captain Mar-Vell]. Super-Skrull flames on, intending
to prevent Silver Surfer from taking Geatar away but the latter insists it is
all right so Skrull flies off to rejoin his people. Legacy agrees to take
Geatar back to Titan. Surfer offers to take the three Earth baddies back home
but Nitro demurs, saying he would rather take the escape pod and explore the
universe. Surfer finds this plan dubious but allows him to go….
Legacy returns Geatar to Titan and
he is placed in a cell with Nebula while the Silver Surfer heads for Earth with
two passengers….
