Tony, Susan, Spider-Gwen, and Dr. Reed’s team prepared for an invasion by Martians, the Villain Alliance, and Demon King descendants while Andrew anticipated a possible conflict with God. As the Martian fleet approached Earth, Tony convinced the authorities to let him intercept it, and the chapter ended with the Human Torch volunteering to fight the Aliens despite Susan warning that his flames needed oxygen.
