Chapter Summaries

Li Feng agreed to lend Jafar spellbooks and answer questions after Jafar explained that he had pursued Agrabah’s throne to gain resources for magic. Li Feng kept the Magic Carpet to study its self-powered flight, while Aladdin was free to visit it.

• Li Feng questioned Jafar about abandoning his ambitions for power, and Jafar explained that Agrabah’s law barred the princess from marrying anyone who was not a Prince.
• Jafar revealed that he had sought control of Agrabah and other nations to acquire resources for magical cultivation, and Li Feng offered him spellbooks and occasional guidance.
• Li Feng opened a Portal home and sent Aladdin through with his treasure, while Jafar watched him leave.
• The Magic Carpet tried to follow Aladdin, but Li Feng caught it and threatened to burn it if it would not stay with him.
• Aladdin offered his treasure to buy the Magic Carpet’s freedom, and Li Feng explained that he only wanted to study how it flew without Mana before closing the Portal.

After sending Jafar into the Cave of Wonders to gather magical materials, Li Feng summoned the Genie and used his third wish to free him. Li Feng then asked whether the Genie could send him home, and, learning he could not, wondered if two Genies could grant the wish together.

• Jafar worried that Aladdin might reveal his identity to Princess Jasmine, but Li Feng told him to focus on gathering magical materials.
• Li Feng opened a Portal to the Cave of Wonders and sent Jafar inside, then summoned the Genie from the Genie Lamp.
• Li Feng used his third wish to grant the Genie his freedom, leaving two wishes unused.
• The Genie could not sense where Li Feng's real home was, so Li Feng asked for beer and invited him to chat.
• Li Feng asked whether two Genies working together could send him home.

Li Feng wished for the Genie to record his magical knowledge in a Magic Book, then arranged for Jafar to steal the Genie Lamp so another Genie might appear. Jafar summoned the Genie and planned to use a wish to escape Li Feng’s control, but Li Feng reclaimed the lamp and challenged his assumption that strength would be enough.

• The Genie explained that teaching his magic directly could overwhelm Li Feng, then recorded his magical knowledge in Li Feng’s Magic Book after Li Feng wished for it.
• Li Feng discussed the Genie’s past with him over food and wine, then pretended to be drunk while Kreacher left to fetch water.
• The Genie warned Li Feng that Jafar could steal the Genie Lamp and make wishes, but Li Feng dismissed the danger and quietly instructed Kreacher.
• Jafar saw his chance, stole and rubbed the Genie Lamp, and summoned the Genie while planning to break free of Li Feng’s control.
• Li Feng cast a spell to pull the Genie Lamp back from Jafar and warned him that Li Feng could simply wish to become stronger than him or the Genie.

Li Feng trapped Jafar by exploiting his wish to become stronger than the Genie, turning him into a Genie bound to a lamp. The Genie warned that Jafar could not grant wishes until he completed training in the Cave of Wonders, so Li Feng used Time Acceleration on the lamp to speed up his studies.

• The Genie realized Li Feng had planned for Jafar to summon him, while warning that a second Genie might not solve Li Feng’s problem without a flaw in his plan.
• Li Feng activated Jafar’s Slave Contract, and Jafar wished to become the most powerful being in the universe, stronger than the Genie.
• Jafar became a Genie but could not harm Li Feng because of the restrictions marked by his Gold Bracelet, and a second Genie Lamp sucked him inside.
• The Genie took Jafar’s lamp and explained that Jafar had to train in the Cave of Wonders before he could grant wishes.
• Li Feng asked whether Time Acceleration could speed up Jafar’s training, then cast the spell on the lamp after the Genie placed it in the Cave of Wonders.

Li Feng spent a year and a half accelerating Jafar’s awakening while studying the Genie’s magic, hoping to reproduce some of the Reality Stone’s abilities. When Jafar awoke, neither he nor the Genie could locate or send Li Feng to his real home, leaving Li Feng disappointed but still hopeful.

• Li Feng studied the Genie’s magic and realized its powers resembled aspects of the Reality Stone, while continuing to practice Time Acceleration on Jafar’s lamp.
• Li Feng bought supplies in Agrabah, returned to the Cave of Wonders, and spent his afternoons researching Hellfire as a year and a half passed.
• The Genie told Li Feng that Jafar had awakened, and Li Feng rubbed Jafar’s lamp to summon him.
• Jafar resented Li Feng but was compelled to grant his wish, so he and the Genie joined forces to try to send Li Feng home.
• The two Genies could not find Li Feng’s home, and Li Feng left the cave before drinking alone on a sand dune and reminding himself that he still had hope of returning.

Li Feng struggled to reshape a thigh cut from the Destroyer into a Magic Artifact, then recruited the Genie and Jafar to help. After extracting the thigh’s Divine Power and incorporating Hellfire and the Nekomata from his Scythe, he watched the exhausted Genies finish forging the artifact.

• Li Feng failed to melt or reshape the Destroyer’s metal thigh with Hellfire and Fiendfyre, so he summoned the Genie for advice.
• The Genie explained that the thigh’s Divine Power and material memory made it difficult to reshape, and suggested that Li Feng extract the Divine Power and use Hellfire to slow its reversion.
• Li Feng extracted the Divine Power from the thigh while the Genie and Jafar prepared to reshape it.
• Kreacher used a wish to make Jafar obey the Genie, and Li Feng asked the Genie to transfer the Nekomata from his Scythe into the new artifact.
• The Genie and Jafar combined their magic to reshape the thigh, and Li Feng’s Magic Artifact finally took form after the Genies were nearly exhausted.

Li Feng had the Genie reshape the magical metal into a Scythe and carve formations into it, then freed him after the artifact worked. The Genie chose to travel the world, and Li Feng gave him the Magic Carpet for transportation.

• The Genie warned Li Feng that the metal Scythe needed formations, then offered to carve them while reshaping it.
• Li Feng showed the Genie a sand model of the Scythe and described the formations, runes, and other features he wanted.
• The Genie studied the Magic Book, then worked with Jafar for a day to finish the silver Scythe and transfer Nekomata into its blade.
• Li Feng tested the Scythe by channeling Mana into it, saw Nekomata ignite with Hellfire, and declared the wish fulfilled.
• The bracelet vanished and the Genie regained his freedom, then told Li Feng he planned to travel the world.
• Li Feng celebrated with the Genie and offered him the Magic Carpet as a means of transportation.

Li Feng learned how Genie wishes could be manipulated, then built a flying home for his Dementors and returned to the Marvel Universe. As he prepared to leave his motorhome, he sensed someone watching and felt danger approaching.

• Li Feng gave the Genie a Magic Carpet and gold, then asked how to ensure Jafar obeyed wishes and learned that Genies controlled their interpretation and could refuse wishes in languages they did not understand.
• The Genie advised Li Feng to make wishes in Arabic, then left Agrabah to begin traveling around the world.
• Li Feng summoned 365 Dementors and built them a new home that could also serve as his flying vehicle, shaping it into an invisible black Somersault Cloud.
• Li Feng returned to the Marvel Universe and sensed someone watching his motorhome, then took out his Scythe and Cloak before a sudden warning of danger stopped him from opening the door.

Li Feng discovered that soldiers had tried to break into his motorhome and, with Abomination’s help, suspected a plot connected to General Ross. He sent Abomination skydiving without a rope, and Abomination began hunting the hidden soldiers and throwing them into the air.

• Li Feng found signs that soldiers had tried to force their way into the motorhome, but its magical defenses had held.
• Abomination explained that he had seen armed soldiers and reasoned that General Ross might be involved because of his grudges against Li Feng and interest in Abomination’s corpse.
• Li Feng concluded that asking Ross would reveal who was behind the soldiers, then opened a Portal high in the sky and kicked Abomination through it.
• Abomination crashed into the ground, spotted a concealed soldier, and threw him high into the air.
• Abomination decided he enjoyed no-rope bungee jumping and ran to find more hidden soldiers to throw.

Li Feng let Abomination kill the soldiers who attacked his motorhome, then learned that their weapons were Hydra energy rifles. Fury discovered that Hydra had infiltrated the military exercise and suspected it had influence in government departments, leaving him worried about how deeply it had spread.

• Li Feng spotted a glowing energy rifle among the equipment of a soldier Abomination had thrown, then watched the remaining soldiers open fire on Abomination.
• Abomination endured the energy weapons, grew enraged when they shredded his bandages, and killed the soldiers.
• Fury confronted Li Feng by phone, but Li Feng said someone had blown up his motorhome window, and Fury ended the call after realizing soldiers had tried to enter it.
• Fury showed Coulson satellite images of the soldiers’ weapons, and Coulson recognized them as similar to Red Skull’s energy weapons.
• Fury suspected Hydra had arranged the military exercise and infiltrated the military, Congress, and the Department of Defense.

Li Feng uncovered Abomination’s hidden resistance to his contract and suspected Mephisto was behind it, so he ordered Kreacher to monitor Abomination while keeping him alive. After returning to New York, Li Feng met Selvig, who asked him about S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Tesseract research offer and invited him to join the team, but Fury required something in return.

• Li Feng told Kreacher that Abomination had concealed his hatred of Ross and deliberately twisted an order, and suspected Mephisto had given him the power to resist the contract.
• Li Feng ordered Kreacher to monitor Abomination without endangering himself, then had Abomination collect the Tesseract-powered energy blocks.
• Li Feng returned to his lakeside home, received a call from Selvig, and traveled to meet him in Manhattan.
• Selvig explained that government investigations into Thor had cost him his job and strained his friendships.
• Selvig said S.H.I.E.L.D. had offered him a job researching the Tesseract and invited Li Feng to join his team.
• Selvig told Li Feng that Fury knew about their meeting but required something in return before allowing Li Feng onto the research team.

Li Feng learned that Fury had another reason for seeking him out besides the Tesseract research, and Fury drove him away to explain it. He revealed that Li Feng’s Portal and the Destroyer’s Heat Beam had injured the frozen Captain America, whose cells were becoming active and who might suffocate if the ice covering his face was not removed in time.

• Li Feng exposed a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent watching Selvig and used the agent’s communicator to confront Fury about expecting help without offering proper payment.
• Fury admitted he needed Li Feng’s help, but Selvig refused to hear S.H.I.E.L.D. secrets and left with the agent.
• Fury picked Li Feng up and asked about the Portal he had opened to Antarctica during the fight with the Destroyer.
• Li Feng revealed he had heard that Captain America was frozen in Antarctica, prompting Fury to question how he knew.
• Fury explained that the Destroyer’s Heat Beam had injured Captain America’s legs, while his cells were becoming active and the ice over his face needed to be removed before he suffocated.

Li Feng used magic and Eternal Spring to heal the Captain after Fury brought him to a S.H.I.E.L.D. recovery center. The Captain awakened in New York, and Fury began explaining the world and S.H.I.E.L.D. to him while Li Feng offered him water shaped like an apple.

• Fury took Li Feng to a S.H.I.E.L.D. recovery center to see the frozen Captain.
• Li Feng transformed the ice on the Captain into mist, removed lingering Heat Beam energy, healed his legs, and gave him Eternal Spring.
• Fury asked Li Feng to leave Eternal Spring for the Captain, but Li Feng refused.
• The Captain began to awaken, and Fury told him that the war was over and that he had slept for seventy years.
• Li Feng conjured water shaped like apples and gave one to the Captain, who asked whether technology had advanced enough to disguise water as fruit.
• Li Feng told the Captain that the apple-shaped water was magic.

Steve learned that he had been frozen for nearly seventy years and that Peggy Carter was still alive, while Li Feng revealed that he owned Aladdin’s Genie Lamp. Li Feng took Steve through a Portal to his home, where Steve began considering the Genie Lamp and struggled to make sense of the changed world.

• Fury confirmed that Steve had been frozen for nearly seventy years, and Steve asked whether Peggy Carter was well.
• Li Feng explained that Eternal Spring was an ingredient in an immortality potion, then warned Fury that S.H.I.E.L.D. was too small to contend with immortals.
• Li Feng told Steve that he owned the Genie Lamp and explained its limits, its Arabic command language, and the need to phrase wishes precisely.
• Steve asked why Mages lived in secrecy, and Li Feng offered to explain privately if Steve swore to keep the reason secret.
• Li Feng opened a Portal and took Steve to his home to recover, where Kreacher greeted him and Li Feng explained House-elf customs.
• Steve ate magical medicinal cuisine while holding the Genie Lamp and remarked that fairy tales had become history and the world had changed beyond his understanding.

Steve reunited with Peggy Carter and used the Genie Lamp to restore her youth internally. Li Feng then confronted Fury about joining the Tesseract research team, but Fury’s suspicions and demands for Li Feng’s magical items led to an argument.

• Steve visited Peggy Carter in the hospital, and Li Feng gave her the Genie Lamp so she could make a wish herself.
• Peggy Carter made her wish and regained her youth internally, while Li Feng agreed to collect her the following night.
• Li Feng went to Fury’s office to report for Tesseract research, but Fury questioned whether he planned to steal the Tesseract.
• Fury demanded the Genie Lamp and the Mask of the Night God, and Li Feng realized Fury’s suspicions came partly from watching an Aladdin cartoon.
• Li Feng rejected Fury’s negotiating tactics and mocked him for watching cartoons at work.

Li Feng refused to join Fury’s Tesseract research team, then spent his time studying Genie magic and preparing for the coming Mind Stone. After Loki stole the Tesseract and took Selvig, Fury summoned Li Feng to rescue the injured at a ruined underground base, where Li Feng discovered Fury’s team had made substantial research progress.

• Li Feng tried to bargain with Fury for access to the Tesseract research, but Fury refused because he distrusted Li Feng and wanted to keep the project focused on weapons.

• Li Feng followed Fury’s directions to a ruined underground base, where Agent Hill asked him to find and evacuate the injured, especially the researchers.
• Li Feng used his Mystic Eyes and magic to locate and heal trapped people, turning rubble into sand as the researchers stared at him with fascination.

Li Feng helped S.H.I.E.L.D. recover survivors from its underground base, then went with Natasha to recruit Banner for the search for the Tesseract. After Li Feng used magic to reduce the pathogens in Banner’s patients, Banner agreed to return to New York with them.

• Li Feng searched the underground base for surviving Astral Bodies and reported that the dead were beyond his ability to find.
• Fury ordered Li Feng to retrieve Banner, and Li Feng used a Portal to reach Natasha in Brazil.
• Li Feng and Natasha found Banner treating patients in a dilapidated building, where Banner recognized Li Feng as Austin.
• Li Feng transferred most of the pathogens out of the patients, though he said they would still need medication.
• Banner agreed to leave for New York with Li Feng and Natasha, saying he missed Kreacher’s cooking.

Li Feng hosted Banner and Natasha at his home and revealed that he had learned to form Nuclear Reaction Fireballs. After Fury canceled Natasha’s mission and arranged to retrieve them in the morning, Natasha joined Li Feng and Banner in eating Kreacher’s food.

• Li Feng brought Banner and Natasha to his lakeside home, where he joked with Natasha and asked Kreacher to bring beers and prepare food.
• Banner apologized for leaving without saying goodbye, and Li Feng told him he had succeeded in learning to form a Nuclear Reaction Fireball.
• Li Feng explained his new spell to Natasha, who was alarmed that he could create something equivalent to a tiny Nuclear Weapon.
• Natasha called Fury, who ordered her to watch Li Feng, canceled the mission, and said a plane would pick them up the next morning.
• Natasha pretended to sleep, but ten minutes later she used chopsticks to compete with Li Feng and Banner for Kreacher’s food.

Li Feng arrived aboard S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Helicarrier and secretly explored it while planning to use Barton’s rescue to obtain the Mind Stone. Fury asked whether Li Feng could break Loki’s mind control, but before they settled on a plan, an agent reported that Loki had been found.

• Li Feng boarded the Helicarrier with Natasha and Banner, then complained that its turbines had ruined his chance to go sea fishing.

• Fury asked whether Li Feng could cast a nuclear-level Fireball, but Silvert interrupted to announce that S.H.I.E.L.D. had found Loki.

Li Feng sowed distrust between Steve and Fury by portraying S.H.I.E.L.D.'s scrutiny as an attempt to seize his magic and artifacts. The Quinjet reached Königstraße in Stuttgart, where Loki was giving a speech, and Li Feng opened a Portal as Natasha confronted him about his motives.

• Fury warned Li Feng that S.H.I.E.L.D. would monitor him because his Nuclear Reaction Fireball made him dangerous.
• On the Quinjet, Li Feng told Steve and Natasha about his spell and powerful magical artifacts, including a Genie Lamp, a mask, and a Time-Turner.
• Li Feng suggested Fury wanted to confiscate his artifacts and learn magic, while Steve said that making magic public could destroy humanity.
• Steve refused Natasha's attempts to learn why magic was so dangerous, and Li Feng concluded that the incident had widened the rift between Steve and Fury.
• The Quinjet flew over Königstraße in Stuttgart, where Loki was speaking below; Li Feng opened a Portal after Natasha called his discord-sowing crude.
