Chapter Summaries

Pietro drove Anya toward Westview Town and tried to learn what had happened between Hawk and Wanda in her universe, while Felicia welcomed Hawk and Wanda to Peter’s laboratory. Peter explained that he had tracked the Celestial who took Jean, then revealed he had located the last place Jean’s Phoenix energy disappeared in the Quantum Realm.

• Pietro and Anya agreed to trade stories about Hawk’s relationships in their respective universes.
• Felicia brought Hawk and Wanda to Peter’s laboratory, where they saw his Quantum Shuttle and his ongoing research with Hank Pym.
• Peter told Hawk and Wanda he and Hank had tracked the Celestial’s departure through residual energy and the Quantum Realm.
• Hawk explained that Jean had escaped the Celestial using the Phoenix Force and that he had already killed the Celestial.
• Peter projected Hawk’s Phoenix energy and revealed that he had located its last disappearance point in the Quantum Realm.

Peter used data from the Quantum Realm to identify a possible route to the universe where Jean was lost, and Hawk arranged the resources to build a tunnel there. Peter estimated the work would take a month, while Hawk and Wanda prepared to return to Westview Town.

• Peter revealed that Quantum Realm coordinates recorded from Celestials energy might lead to the universe where Jean was, but warned that locating it did not guarantee a way to cross over.
• Peter explained that he and Dr. Pym believed they could construct a Quantum Tunnel, though Hawk's earlier Multiverse crossing had depended on a chance encounter with Ant-Man.
• Hawk gave Peter the Space Stone, arranged access to Stark's servers through Pepper, and asked Sharon to provide the raw materials for Pym Particles.
• Peter contacted Dr. Pym, confirmed that the team had what it needed, and estimated they could build the tunnel in one month if cost was no obstacle.
• Hawk promised S.H.I.E.L.D. would supply Peter's requirements in exchange for the Adamantium Celestials corpse he had moved to the Moon, then left with Wanda for Westview Town.

Hawk separated the two Anyas after their bickering and continued meditating while Peter and Dr. Hank Pym developed a Quantum Band to reach Jean's universe. After twenty days, Hawk and Wanda used the untested device to enter the Quantum Realm and travel toward Jean.

• Hawk imposed rules on the two Anyas and sent one to stay with Wanda and the other with the Chloe Family.
• Hawk returned to Palm Street and meditated beneath the Wutong Tree as his Golden Wutong Phoenix Cosmo and Parallel Phoenix Cosmo expanded.
• Peter and Dr. Hank Pym spent twenty days developing a Quantum Band with support from Stark Industries and S.H.I.E.L.D.
• Peter explained that the Quantum Band could grant Hawk and Wanda access to Jean's Multiverse, though they had not been able to test it in the Quantum Realm.
• Hawk and Wanda put on the Quantum Bands and used the Quantum Realm Shuttle Platform to begin their journey.

Hawk and Wanda tried to enter another Multiverse through the Quantum Realm, but the Quantum Key failed because that universe was undergoing a Cosmic Reset. They pursued the reset's Flowing Light through a newly opened entrance and saw it take the form of a wolf.

• Hawk and Wanda traveled through the Quantum Realm toward a Multiverse entrance, avoiding teleportation to reduce the risk of falling into a Parallel Universe.
• Hawk found that the Multiverse had no Kamar-Taj and no version of himself, meaning his power would take about eight months to recover there.
• Hawk and Wanda tried to cross the Multiverse Barrier with the Quantum Key, but it did not work.
• A Flowing Light escaped as the Multiverse entrance vanished, and Hawk identified it as a Cosmic Reset underway in a universe too poor in Origin energy to create Parallel Universes.
• Hawk and Wanda chased the Flowing Light into a reopened Multiverse entrance and saw a wolf-shaped figure running ahead.

Hawk and Wanda arrived in an unfamiliar, retro Manhattan after the universe reset suppressed Hawk’s power. Stranded without usable money, they spotted a bank robbery and Hawk decided the robbers could solve their problem.

• Hawk refused Wanda’s suggestion to turn back and led her out of the passageway into the new universe.
• Hawk discovered that his power had been suppressed, though his divine body and Life Level remained.
• Hawk and Wanda identified their location as Manhattan’s Third Avenue in the 1980s and entered the crowd to find lodging.
• Wanda revealed that their cash was unusable future currency, while Hawk admitted he had no money.
• Hawk watched five people enter Pacific Savings Bank, heard a scream, and told Wanda the robbers would bring them money.

Hawk and Wanda followed a group of bank robbers to their hideout, where they discovered the robbers were Mutants. After learning that Mutants in this world relied on one another, they suspected the group faced discrimination and hardship.

• Hawk and Wanda tracked five bank robbers to a warehouse near the Hudson River and demanded they surrender the stolen money.
• The leader, Beatles, teleported behind Hawk and threatened him, but Hawk broke his arms and overpowered him.
• Wanda stopped a robber’s bullet with her Chaos Force and lifted the other four robbers into the air.
• Hawk recognized Beatles as a Mutant, and a teenage robber healed Beatles by sacrificing his hair.
• Hawk explained Mutant ability classes to Wanda, who concluded that Mutants in this world must be struggling.

Hawk and Wanda searched for X Academy after learning this was the timeline of X-Men: Days of Future Past, and a Mutant Underground Community might know where it was. They reached the community in Queens, where Wanda used her Chaos Force to get past the building manager.

• Hawk learned from the injured Beatles member that Magneto had not been seen since his appearance at Kennedy Memorial Stadium ten years earlier, confirming the Days of Future Past timeline.
• Hawk asked for X Academy's address, and the Beatles member pointed him to a Mutant Underground Community in Queens; Hawk took one hundred thousand dollars from the robbers before leaving with Wanda.
• In the taxi, Hawk and Wanda discussed the Quicksilver of this timeline, and Wanda learned she was likely Pietro's older sister here, but chose to focus on finding Jean first.
• Hawk and Wanda arrived at the Queens apartment building that housed the Mutant Underground Community, and Wanda raised her hand as the building manager tried to stop them.

Hawk and Wanda visited New York’s Mutant Underground Community seeking Xavier’s School, but learned its location was secret and rumored addresses were Sentinel Service traps. As they prepared to leave, the Sentinel Service attacked the shelter, and the administrator led the guards into battle.

• Wanda and Hawk entered the sewer-hidden Mutant community, where the administrator explained that Mutants sought refuge there from the Sentinel Service.
• Hawk asked for Xavier’s School’s address, but the administrator said no one knew it and warned that circulating addresses were traps.
• Hawk told the administrator that he and Wanda believed their daughter was at the school, then thanked him and prepared to leave.
• The Sentinel Service attacked the shelter, and the guards reported that the emergency passage was blocked and Jack and Allen had been killed.
• The administrator gave Hawk a gun, warned him to kill himself rather than be captured, and charged at the attackers with the guards.

Hawk discovered that the X-gene inhibitor had not stopped Wanda’s powers, then shielded two Mutant Guards from Sentinel gunfire and slaughtered the agents in the sewer. He headed for the emergency passage, deciding to force Professor X to come find him.

• Wanda told Hawk that her energy had been blocked, but she showed that some of her Chaos Force still worked despite the inhibitor.
• Sentinel agents attacked the shelter, killing guards and wounding Administrator Mark as Duby returned to the fight.
• Hawk stepped in front of two Mutant Guards and endured the agents’ bullets without injury.
• Hawk killed the Sentinel agents in the sewer and told the two guards to watch for more Sentries.
• Hawk went toward the emergency passage, planning to massacre the Sentinel agents and see whether Professor X would come to their defense.

Hawk abandoned his neutrality when Sentinel Service attacked the Mutant Underground Community and slaughtered the agents without relying on his blocked Cosmo energy. William Stryker watched the destruction and requested strategic support, determined to capture Hawk.

• Hawk smashed through the escape passage and killed the Sentinel agents attacking the Mutant Guards.
• Hawk emerged from the shelter, withstood gunfire, and slaughtered the Sentinel agents surrounding the streets.

• Hawk destroyed two approaching combat helicopters, which crashed into buildings and caused chaos in Queens.
• Stryker requested strategic support forces from Washington, D.C., and vowed to capture Hawk.

After helping Administrator Mark and the surviving Mutants escape, Hawk decided to confront the Sentinel Service rather than avoid it. He flew with Wanda to Quantico Military Base, where Stryker realized Hawk was about to strike.

• Hawk refused Administrator Mark’s offer to leave with the surviving Mutants, and the group escaped in two vans as police sirens approached.
• Wanda confirmed that a satellite was watching them, and Hawk said he would make the Federation and Sentinel Service fear him.
• Hawk blasted away from the arriving police officers with Wanda and vanished before they could stop him.
• Stryker tracked Hawk by satellite and ordered his forces to keep him locked on and alert the Strategic Support Forces when he landed.
• Hawk chose Quantico Military Base as his first target and arrived there at supersonic speed with Wanda.
• Stryker saw Hawk’s mocking look and began warning Quantico just before an explosion sounded.

Hawk invaded Quantico Military Base, demanding William Stryker after giving the military ten minutes to attack him. He destroyed the base’s defenses, forced the generals to cease fire, and left General Ross choosing between war and handing over Stryker.

• Hawk struck Quantico’s command tower and announced that the base had ten minutes to attack him before it had to bring him William Stryker.
• Apache helicopters, tanks, and ground troops fired on Hawk, but their weapons failed to harm him.
• After the ten minutes ended, Hawk destroyed the helicopters and a tank, then killed a colonel who tried to protect the fleeing generals.
• Hawk threatened to kill everyone if the gunfire continued, and General Ross ordered the soldiers to cease fire.
• Hawk offered General Ross a choice between war and giving him William Stryker.

Hawk Phoenix trapped Quantico Military Base inside Wanda’s Scarlet Witch Barrier and demanded that William Stryker appear. General Ross froze Stryker’s authority and ordered Adia to bring him to Quantico, while Stryker’s Sentinel operation was halted.

• Hawk demanded William Stryker and gave the military four hours before he began killing people.
• Wanda enclosed Quantico Military Base in a Scarlet Witch Barrier that prevented anyone from leaving.
• General Ross ordered Stryker to come to Quantico and transferred control of the Sentinel Service to Adia.
• Adia arranged to escort Stryker to Quantico and told him the Sentinel Strategic Force’s operation had been halted.
• Adia’s men handcuffed Stryker aboard the helicopter to keep him alive for the exchange.

Hawk explained that he had attacked Quantico to force the military to hand over William Stryker, not out of kindness. As Stryker arrived under escort, Hawk and Wanda prepared to make the military surrender him and then seek Professor X.

• Hawk told Wanda that he had never been a good man and had attacked Quantico to get William Stryker handed over.
• Wanda called Hawk a hero and a good father for coming to save Jean, and Hawk thanked her.
• Hawk sensed that the universe was blocking his Cosmo power and concluded that it did not welcome him.
• Hawk planned to make Quantico hand over William Stryker first and Professor X afterward.
• Adia escorted Stryker toward Quantico and mocked him for provoking Hawk, while Stryker insisted that compromise would make the military look weak.
• Adia said he would seek medical treatment and keep himself alive, while Stryker angrily called him a coward.

At Quantico Military Base, Hawk forced General Ross to surrender Stryker, while Adia refused to let Stryker summon Professor X. As Stryker was handed over, he made a sudden move with something from his pocket.

• Stryker urged Adia to contact Professor X, but Adia refused, insisting Stryker had to trade his life for the base’s survival.
• Adia brought Stryker through the Scarlet Witch Barrier to meet General Ross and Hawk.
• Hawk ignored Stryker’s defiant insults and demanded that General Ross lift the barrier before surrendering him.
• Hawk rejected Ross’s guarantees and revealed that he had killed Ross and Betty Ross in his own universe.
• Ross ordered the Sentinels to remove Stryker’s cuffs and push him toward Hawk.
• As he stumbled toward Hawk, Stryker pulled something from his pocket.

Hawk killed Stryker after the serum needle failed to pierce his skin, then forced General Ross to agree to hand over Charles Xavier and Jean Grey. When Apocalypse launched the world's nuclear weapons into space, Hawk realized Professor X was about to be abducted and changed course for X Academy.

• Stryker attacked Hawk with X-gene Inhibitor Serum, but the needle shattered against Hawk's skin.
• Hawk snapped Stryker's neck, and Wanda pulled out and destroyed Stryker's soul.

• Hawk demanded X Academy's address from General Ross, learned it was in Westchester County, and flew away with Wanda.

Hawk and Wanda arrived at the ruined Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and found a Federation ambush waiting, with an X-gene inhibitor suppressing Wanda's powers. After Wanda accepted that the Federation did not deserve mercy, Hawk destroyed its forces and prepared to take the fight beyond the school.

• Hawk and Wanda reached Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and found the manor reduced to rubble and apparently deserted.
• Federation forces activated an X-gene inhibitor net around the school and emerged from the woods to attack Hawk and Wanda.

• Hawk left Wanda's barrier, resisted the bullets, and rapidly slaughtered the soldiers and destroyed their armored vehicles.
• Hawk fought off the arriving aircraft, smashing helicopters together and tearing through a fighter jet.
• After five minutes, Hawk ended the battle at the school and blamed General Thaddeus Ross for mistaking his mercy for weakness.

Hawk destroyed Quantico Base again and survived the military’s attacks, only to be ambushed by the Sentinel Strategic Force using Formula No. 8. He broke free of Flash Freeze’s ice, killed Flash Freeze, and dropped Flame into the burning fuel depot.

• Hawk withstood gunfire, tank shells, and missile strikes before destroying the F-22 Raptors and laying waste to Quantico Base.
• Hawk prepared to head for the Pentagon, but a Fire Dragon formed from the base’s flames and attacked him.

• Control realized Hawk was still alive, and Hawk shattered the ice, killing Flash Freeze when it broke.
• Hawk seized Flame and dropped him into the burning fuel depot.

Hawk killed Sentry Flame, Stealth, Evolution, and Control while fighting the Sentinel Strategic Force at Quantico. After threatening General Thaddeus Ross through Control’s camera, Hawk left the surviving generals expecting him to come for them next.
