Description
The Champions return home to find their ally Black Goliath battling the Stilt-Man, who has come in search of a mysterious box recently taken from Stark International. The Champions leap into action to help their friend, while the young woman currently in possession of the mysterious box enters Champions HQ. The battle continues, with each of the Champions doing what they can, but eventually the Stilt-Man high-tails it out of the area, though Black Goliath is in high-pursuit. Later, in their headquarters, the Champions meet the young woman, Regina Clayborne, with the mysterious box, who explains how she came to possess it, when suddenly, the Stranger appears. The Champions mistake his arrival for an attack, so immediately challenge him to battle, unaware that something emerges from the mysterious box. During the battle, Darkstar saves Ghost Rider’s life, though he is not grateful, and Black Goliath’s battle with Stilt-Man goes unnoticed on the monitors by the Champions, though he is successful in defeating Stilt-Man. The Stranger and the Champions are equally distracted, so no one notices the object that emerged from the box increase in mass, and swallow Regina - before engulfing part of the Stranger. The Stranger reveals to the Champions that it is the Null-Life Bomb, and explains that it will continue expanding, and engulf the universe, before exploding, destroying everything. Using his power to slow the Null-Life Bomb’s expansion, the Stranger teleports the Champions away - to collect the only object that can destroy the bomb - and moments later, the Champions find themselves in the realm of Kamo Tharn, hated enemy of Hercules, who is ready to get his revenge on the Olympian!
