Description
The Avengers moor the Hydrobase in New York Harbor and begin setting up their operations there. An emergency flare from Starfox interrupts their work. He warns them of the threat of the Super Nova, who is headed for Earth and has captured Firelord. The Avengers rocket into space and intercept the Xandarian ship. They battle past brain leeches and free Firelord. They meet Super Nova and he's desperate to get his hands on Nebula, who had tricked her way onto the Avengers' roster. Enraged and irrational, Super Nova destroys his own ship with the Avengers aboard and heads for Earth.
