Chapter Summaries

Magneto turned the battle in Wakanda by seizing control of Ultron’s robots and weapons, earning the Wakandans’ admiration. Yota later left with Wanda while Pietro stayed to aid the Brotherhood, and Yota took a damaged Ultron robot with him.

• Yota watched Ultron’s forces overwhelm Wakanda’s warriors and anticipated Magneto’s intervention.
• Magneto immobilized the Ultron robots across Wakanda and tore apart the laser turrets, ending the attack.
• Magneto reassured the Wakandans, who responded with reverence toward him and the Mutants.
• Yota left Wakanda with Wanda after several days, while Pietro stayed to help the Brotherhood and train under Magneto.
• Yota obtained a nearly scrapped Ultron robot, which he could turn into a Homie using his Soul-Soul Fruit ability.

After months of peace, Yota and Magneto arranged for Rogue to strengthen the Mutants’ abilities, while Earth’s military deprioritized the stalled Weapon X project. Tony Stark then warned Yota that the Chitauri were approaching Earth, and Captain Marvel had stayed away because she believed Earth could handle them.

• Yota told Magneto to have Rogue absorb Apocalypse’s abilities and use them to strengthen other Mutants, and Magneto later reached an agreement with the X-Men to do so.
• Yota used Vibranium to make protective outfits for his superpowered subordinates, while the world experienced several peaceful months.
• The X-Men and Magneto agreed that the X-Men would not interfere as long as Magneto avoided massacres, and Rogue strengthened Mutants’ powers, starting with the X-Men.
• The military’s Weapon X research stalled after Colonel William Stryker’s loss, while General Ross’s Gamma Rays project received its resources without producing useful results.
• Tony Stark arrived to tell Yota that the Chitauri were advancing toward Earth, and he reported that Captain Marvel believed Earth could handle them and had not returned from space.

Yota considered the Chitauri a manageable threat compared with Earth’s many superpowered figures, then joined Scarlet Witch and others at S.H.I.E.L.D. as they prepared to respond to the approaching Alien fleet. The group assembled under General Ross’s nominal command, while Reed Richards worked on calculations in handcuffs.

• Yota judged that Earth’s black technology and powerful Super Heroes could contend with the Chitauri, though Thanos would warrant more concern.
• Yota prepared to inspect the situation with Scarlet Witch after delivering his message.
• Tony Stark, now director of S.W.O.R.D., contacted Yota and Scarlet Witch rather than assembling the Avengers or reaching out to the Mutants.
• Yota and Scarlet Witch met with the Fantastic Four, Captain America, and General Ross at the S.H.I.E.L.D. office.
• Reed Richards, still handcuffed after being held in S.W.O.R.D.’s prison, rapidly calculated at a computer to help with the Alien threat.
• General Ross served as the group’s nominal commander, but he had little authority over the independent heroes and scientists present.

Mister Fantastic showed the heroes the Chitauri forces gathered around Jupiter, and the group debated where and how to stop their invasion. Tony Stark revealed that most Chitauri fighters might be remotely controlled biohumans, making the motherships their key target.

• Mister Fantastic displayed a star map showing an enormous Chitauri army surrounding Jupiter.
• Yota worried the invasion could devastate Earth and hoped its heroes would become capable of defending it without relying on him.
• Captain America asked where the Chitauri would attack, and Tony Stark suspected New York because Tesseract research had drawn them there.
• Tony Stark and Captain America argued over who was responsible for the dangerous Tesseract project before General Ross redirected the discussion to the invasion.
• General Ross rejected the idea of sending a few heroes to fight an entire alien army, but Tony Stark said intercepted signals and Captain Marvel's information suggested that destroying the motherships would disable most Chitauri.

Tony Stark led the group in a surprise attack on the Chitauri fleet, using Earth’s modified spaceships and Invisible Woman Sue’s force fields to approach unseen. After the attack exposed their ships, Yota opened a portal into a Chitauri mothership and prepared the team to board.

• Tony Stark and General Ross agreed to attack the Chitauri fleet with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Cosmic Spaceship.
• Mister Fantastic Reed equipped the ships with a force-field enhancement device so Invisible Woman Sue could cloak them.
• Tony Stark and the others reached the Chitauri fleet near Titan, where Yota noticed the Chitauri looked as if they had recently fought a battle.
• The two ships destroyed two Chitauri motherships with a surprise attack, but the remaining fleet raised its shields and bombarded them until they were exposed.
• Yota opened a portal into another Chitauri mothership and placed a Flying Thunder God Mark on each person before the boarding combat.

Yota protected the heroes’ ship while the Super Heroes destroyed several Chitauri motherships. When the remaining ships began rushing toward Earth, Yota decided they had to return to defend the planet and continued holding back from the fight.

• Yota shielded the heroes’ ship with Armament Haki while the Super Heroes attacked the Chitauri motherships.
• The heroes destroyed four motherships, with Scarlet Witch taking down one on her own, while the Fantastic Four became exhausted.
• The remaining Chitauri motherships began moving toward Earth, and Yota explained that he could not teleport the moving ships’ occupants safely.
• Yota told Mister Fantastic Reed and the others to return to Earth and protect it from the incoming attack.

Yota and the others watched Black Bolt destroy most of the approaching Chitauri fleet, leaving two motherships to fall toward New York. As they rushed to intercept them, Tony Stark discovered Reed had installed a missile on his downtown building.

• Black Bolt's shockwave destroyed most of the Chitauri fleet, leaving two damaged motherships falling toward Earth.
• Yota identified Black Bolt as the likely source of the attack, while Reed and Tony questioned how his vibrations traveled through space.
• Yota predicted that one mothership would hit Stark Tower and the other the Statue of Liberty, prompting the group to race toward New York.
• Reed revealed that he had installed a remotely controlled intercontinental missile on his building, and Tony angrily scolded him and the Fantastic Four.
• Reed assured Tony that the missile used Negative Zone antimatter and could not explode without special detonation methods.

Tony Stark’s group returned to Earth after learning that Mister Fantastic had secretly built extremely powerful antimatter missiles, and the Chitauri invasion began as they reached New York. Spider-Man saw the invasion unfold and ran to protect his loved ones, leaving Rhino webbed up.

• Tony Stark angrily confronted Mister Fantastic over his antimatter missiles, while Yota suggested prosecuting him and General Ross called for military supervision.
• Wanda urged the group to return to Earth, and Tony Stark sped the spaceship toward New York without letting Mister Fantastic operate the missiles.
• Spider-Man webbed up Rhino during a chase and noticed the Chitauri mothership and a sky full of Chitauri spacecraft approaching New York.
• The Chitauri mothership crashed into Stark Tower and split it in half, and Spider-Man ran to make sure his family and friends were safe while Rhino remained tied up.

The Chitauri invaded New York, where U.S. troops and local heroes fought back despite the citywide chaos. After the Chitauri overwhelmed the military blockade, Spider-Man and Daredevil encountered Kingpin battling the invaders.

• S.W.O.R.D. and the military deployed to New York, but the city was not fully evacuated and the troops were thrown into disorder.
• Kingpin used his Conqueror's Haki to crush nearby Chitauri and knock them out of the sky.
• The military regained its composure and held off the Chitauri with heavy firepower for more than ten minutes.
• The Chitauri broke through the human defenses with their numbers and scattered across the city to attack weapons and formations.
• Spider-Man pulled a Chitauri off its flying craft and watched Kingpin destroy groups of invaders with powerful blows.
• Daredevil told Spider-Man that the fighter was Kingpin, while Elektra had joined the Defenders in Jessica Jones's place.

Spider-Man and New York’s heroes fought the Chitauri as Tony Stark arrived and saw a golden-haired man destroy the mothership. The man’s attack devastated the city and killed heroes and soldiers, leaving General Ross furious at the destruction.

• Spider-Man questioned Daredevil about the Defenders’ clashes with the golden-haired man, then flew to help Harry as Chitauri attacked him.
• Elektra led the Defenders against grounded Chitauri while Punisher, Deadpool, Hawkeye, and Iron Man Armor forces fought enemies that breached the military lines.
• Tony Stark arrived in New York and noticed a powerful figure flying toward the Chitauri mothership.
• The golden-haired man seized the mothership, threw it into the sky, and blasted it apart with golden energy.
• The explosion devastated New York, killed masked Super Heroes and soldiers, and caused General Ross to curse whoever had let the man loose.

Yota confronted the insane Sentry after Sentry’s energy blast devastated New York, then sent the surviving heroes to attack the remaining Chitauri mothership while he fought Sentry in space. The battle left Yota in control, exploiting Sentry’s poor fighting skills despite their comparable strength.

• Sentry demanded cheers from the surviving heroes and attacked them when they refused.
• Yota punched Sentry into the sky, then told the others to deal with the last mothership while he took on Sentry.
• Scarlet Witch teleported the group to the other mothership so they could attack the source of the Chitauri invasion.
• Yota and Sentry began fighting in space, where Yota’s superior combat skill let him batter Sentry without reprisal.

Yota battled Sentry, whose immense regeneration and energy reserves made him difficult to kill despite Yota’s combat advantage. After skewering Sentry and resisting his energy outburst, Yota dragged him toward the sun but stopped before getting close enough to risk absorbing too much energy.

• Yota repeatedly battered Sentry with Armament Haki and Galactic Glaze, while Sentry regenerated from his injuries.
• Sentry calmed down and used his super intelligence to learn Yota’s fighting techniques, narrowing the skill gap without overcoming Yota’s other powers.
• Yota used the Dark-Dark Fruit to absorb Sentry’s energy attacks, then teleported behind him and pierced him with branching Galactic Glaze.
• Yota resisted Sentry’s explosive energy and flew toward the sun while dragging him, stopping before getting close enough to endanger himself.

Yota defeated the Sentry after his destructive Void personality awakened, then spared him because he might be needed to protect Marvel’s Earth. The Sentry returned to normal and recovered his memories of the fight, leaving Yota to warn him against losing control again.

• Yota dragged the Sentry toward the sun, but the Sentry broke free as Void awakened and regenerated his torn body.
• Void Sentry charged Yota, who used the sun’s energy and Dark Space to overpower him in a brutal fight.
• Yota cut off Void Sentry’s limbs, slowed his regeneration with Heat Vision, and froze him while deciding to keep him alive.
• The Sentry reverted to normal, broke free of the ice, and regrew his limbs.
• Yota threatened to make the Sentry remember the fight if he claimed to have forgotten, and the Sentry recalled his rampage and defeat.

After stopping Sentry’s rampage, Yota learned that Sentry feared returning to Earth and harming it again. On the Chitauri mothership, Wanda uncovered that the invaders sought the Tesseract for Thanos and were fighting a far greater threat, the Tyranids.

• Sentry learned he had helped destroy nearly half of New York and killed hundreds of thousands, and he regretted failing to be a good person.
• Sentry said he did not want to return to Earth in case he lost control, leaving Yota uncertain whether to persuade him to stay or let him go into space.
• Scarlet Witch and the other Super Heroes captured the remaining Chitauri commanders, and Wanda read their minds for information.
• Wanda told Tony Stark and Mister Fantastic that the Chitauri had come for the Tesseract on behalf of the Dark Order while fighting the Tyranids, whose forces had overrun many worlds.
• Wanda explained that the Chitauri were cannon fodder in Thanos's Dark Order and warned that Thanos would keep pursuing anything he wanted.

Tony Stark and the others decided they could not surrender the Tesseract, while Mister Fantastic joined its supervised research. Hank Pym returned as a Herald of Galactus, bringing important intelligence and assurances that Galactus would not come to Earth again.

• General Ross suggested handing the Tesseract to another alien force, but Wanda and Tony Stark argued Earth could not afford to give it up while Thanos and the Tyranids remained threats.
• Tony Stark agreed to let Mister Fantastic help research the Tesseract under supervision.
• Scarlet Witch noticed the battle had ended, and Yota returned with Hank Pym, whose new appearance and Cosmic Energy made Tony Stark suspect he was a Herald of Galactus.
• Hank Pym and Tony Stark traded insults until Yota explained that Hank had important intelligence and that Galactus would not return to Earth.
• Yota told Hank Pym that Tony Stark was now S.H.I.E.L.D.'s director, and Hank agreed to explain what had happened.

Dr. Hank Pym and Galacta told Tony Stark and the others that Tyranids from the Negative Zone had captured Planet Devourer and were using him to produce Original Cosmic Energy. They warned that the Tyranids could consume the universe, while Tony resolved to conceal any connection Earth might have to their arrival.

• Hank Pym recounted how he had been trapped inside Planet Devourer and was eventually rescued, then brought Galacta to Earth to seek help.
• Galacta explained that Tyranids had captured her father and were using him as an energy source while growing stronger by devouring entire star systems.
• Galacta revealed that the Tyranids came from the Negative Zone and could consume the universe within a hundred years if they were not stopped.
• Mister Fantastic and the other Fantastic Four members reacted with fear as they suspected they might be responsible for the Tyranids entering their universe.
• Tony Stark interrupted Galacta and decided to erase the memories of witnesses who had seen the Tyranids near the Baxter Building, keeping Earth's possible involvement secret.

Galacta told Tony Stark that Tyranids had emerged from the Negative Zone, overwhelmed cosmic civilizations, and captured her father, Planet Devourer. Tony weighed whether Earth’s heroes could help, but realized the Tyranids could reach Earth within a year and that rescuing Planet Devourer would be extremely dangerous.

• Tony Stark questioned Galacta about the Tyranids’ invasion and why Planet Devourer had sent her to Earth.
• Galacta said her father believed Earth was special, citing Hank Pym’s technology and the powerful energy entity she had sensed in space.
• Yota told Tony that Sentry was alive, had returned to Earth, and had gone home after feeling guilty about destroying New York.
• Tony considered whether to send Earth’s heroes to rescue Planet Devourer, while recognizing they were not strong enough to face the Tyranids safely.
• Tony learned that the Tyranids could reach Earth within a year and feared that their rapidly growing numbers would make them even harder to stop.

Yota and Wanda went to a secret island facility to retrieve Jimmy, the Mutant known as Leech, after Yota agreed to help Tony Stark enlist the Mutants against the Tyranids. Yota reached Jimmy and discovered that his ability could suppress even Yota’s powers, just as the facility’s defenses opened fire.

• Tony Stark asked Yota to seek the Mutants’ help against the Tyranids, while Tony assigned S.W.O.R.D. to search for other heroes and gave Tyranid corpses to the Fantastic Four to study.
• Yota asked Tony Stark to hand over Jimmy, Leech, so he could bring him to X-Academy and show goodwill to the Mutants.
• Yota and Wanda arrived at the island facility holding Jimmy, and Yota explained why the authorities feared Mutants and valued Leech’s power.
• Yota froze the guards and destroyed the facility’s first-generation Sentinel robots, then cut through the underground base to reach Jimmy.
• As Yota and Wanda approached Jimmy, Yota felt Leech suppress his powers, and hidden laser emitters emerged from the walls and fired at them.

Yota and Wanda survived a trap designed to kill Mutants rescuing Leech, where they met the immensely powerful Mr. M. After hearing why Yota had come for Jimmy, Mr. M declined to join the fight to save Earth, leaving Yota without his help.

• Yota destroyed the laser emitters, while Wanda recovered from having her abilities suppressed.
• Leech checked on Mr. M, who revealed that he had been invisible and unharmed by the attack.
• Mr. M explained that Jimmy had once lived in his Mutant town, but he did not intend to take the young Mutant back there.
• Yota described the threat to Earth and asked Mr. M to join the fight, but Mr. M refused, saying he had never fought.

• Yota examined Mr. M’s genes, and Mr. M explained that Yota’s body modifications had limited his X-Gene’s potential.
• Mr. M offered to tell Yota about an ability that could solve the problem in exchange for Yota looking after Jimmy.
• Mr. M opened a passage through the base, transformed the soldiers’ weapons into butterflies, and flew away with Yota, Wanda, and Jimmy inside an energy shield.
