Description
Nebulon, The Celestial Man, explains how he met the Ludberdites to Nighthawk, apparently unaware that Nighthawk's body is inhabited by the mind of Jack Norris. After listening to the space man's deluded plans, Nighthawk is teleported to an unfamiliar world full of unfamiliar people and one very angry fawn, a fawn that houses the mind of Chondu the Mystic, the result of one of Dr. Strange's spells. Meanwhile on Earth, the Defenders leave behind the wreckage of the Headmen's headquarters and are quickly teleported back to Dr. Strange's sanctum. While Strange mystically searches for any trace of Jack Norris or Kyle Richmond, Hulk grows impatient and leaves, anxious to find "Bambi," (the name he has given to the fawn). Soon after, a meteor crashes in Times Square, and out of its smoldering wreckage steps a timid-looking, bespectacled bald guy in a suit & tie. The little bald guy starts spouting a barrage of 'new age' rhetoric that immediately captivates the surrounding crowd. The Hulk, who happens to fly over at that moment, has an immediate and instinctual dislike of the harmless-looking man. He lands and launches an attack. The man transforms into Nebulon and effortlessly repels the Hulk. With the green goliath out of the way, Nebulon again becomes the little bald guy and continues to enchant the crowd with mystic rhetoric, boasting that he can teach them all how to unlock their own "celestial" power. He hands out pamphlets, one of which is discovered by the Hulk upon his return. Convinced that Nebulon has "taken Bambi," the Hulk takes the pamphlet to Dr. Strange. Meanwhile in the nameless dimension, Nighthawk (Jack Norris) and several others all find themselves growing ill and lethargic. Back on Earth, Dr. Strange, Valkyrie and The Hulk (while cloaked in one of Strange's spells of illusion to appear human) enter the hotel where Nebulon (in the guise of the little bald guy) is giving his seminar on releasing one's celestial power. What follows is an absurd sequence where the audience is made to wear clown masks while the little bald guy callously berates them. So vicious is this verbal assault that it arouses Dr. Strange's suspicions. Having recognized Strange's face, Nebulon reveals his true form. Simultaneously, the team spots Nighthawk and the fawn among the crowd of Nebulon's captives. The Defenders reveal themselves, and a fight ensues where the Defenders take their lumps. Suddenly the fawn's eyes start to glow; both Nebulon and the baby deer are whisked away by Chondu's magic. Dr. Strange manages to shield Nighthawk/Jack Norris' mind from any further tampering, and the team has recovered Kyle Richmond's disembodied brain, but Dr. Strange feels it is a hollow victory at best.
