Chapter Summaries

Stark fought Vision, cutting a deep wound into his chest before Vision stopped the attack and explained that Stark was from another universe. After hearing Vision’s account, the Illuminati considered using him as a temporary ally to learn more about the Cancerverse.

• Vision attacked Stark with a planned close-combat sequence, but Stark used his Vibranium shield and combat experience to counter him.
• Stark transformed his armor into a Vibranium blade and slashed Vision’s chest when Vision’s charge left him unable to turn intangible.
• Vision halted the fight and told Stark he believed Stark came from a different universe, then offered to explain himself.
• Half an hour later, Stark relayed his conversation with Vision to the Illuminati over an ultra-long-distance transmission.
• Mr. Fantastic asked Professor Charles for his assessment, and Professor Charles advised that they use Vision cautiously to gather more information.

Stark returned from a parallel universe with intelligence about the cancerous threat and learned that its tissues could be killed only in his own universe. Unable to persuade the Illuminati to bring the fight home, he recruited Deadpool to help deal with the enemy’s apparent immortality.

• Stark reported that the other universe’s Vision had been created by an artificial intelligence and that the cancerous transformation had spread across at least eight or nine parallel universes.
• Mr. Fantastic explained that the cancerous samples were easy to kill in their universe, while Black Panther and Professor Charles insisted the battle must take place outside it.
• Stark visited Daisy’s home and challenged Rachel to guess how he had killed an apparently unkillable corpse.
• Daisy guided Rachel to guess that Stark had used Deadpool’s connection to Death, and Stark confirmed the answer.
• Stark offered Deadpool five million dollars to work as his bodyguard, then raised the offer to fifty million, which Deadpool accepted.

Stark, Vision, and Deadpool killed the Cancerverse’s Original Captain Marvel, while Daisy used the opening to approach Death and bargain for help. Death said Daisy’s offer was insufficient, so Daisy proposed they confront the One-Eyed Alien together.

• Stark refused Mr. Fantastic’s advice to call in more heroes and led Vision and Deadpool into the Cancerverse.
• Deadpool killed the Original Captain Marvel after Stark and Vision helped lure him into an ambush.
• Daisy inspected the corpse and waited for Death to arrive in the form of a breeze.
• Daisy offered to draw away the Cancerverse’s scattered Star Mark power so Death could restore the universe’s normal cosmic cycle.
• Death said the offer was not enough, so Daisy revealed an ancient temple where the One-Eyed Alien had been summoned and proposed they face him together.

Daisy and Death negotiated how to confront the One-Eyed Alien in the Cancerverse, with Daisy agreeing to gather Star Mark power while relying on Death as the main force. Death agreed and left behind a glove that could absorb the power, though Daisy recognized it was forged using the Power of Death.

• Daisy sensed the One-Eyed Alien watching from its pocket dimension, and it withdrew after displaying its hostility.
• Deadpool briefly sensed something strange while stabbing the cancerous Hawkeye, then asked Stark about lunch as Stark flew toward the next target.
• Daisy assessed the One-Eyed Alien's nature and weighed the risks of joining forces with Death against its avatar.
• Daisy offered to draw the Cancerverse's Star Mark power into the fight, with her contribution depending on how much power Death helped gather.
• Death agreed after half an hour and vanished, leaving a black fingerless glove that Daisy examined cautiously.

Daisy returned to Universe 1 to check on Jean and Wanda before deciding to test the fingerless glove in the Cancerverse. She began absorbing Star Mark power rapidly, but the power carried a deathly taint that clouded her third point.

• Daisy postponed confronting the One-Eyed Alien and returned to Universe 1 to prepare while Stark and Deadpool weakened the enemy.
• Daisy reassured Lorna and checked on pregnant Jean and Wanda, learning that Jean was expected to give birth within ten to fifteen days.
• Daisy reflected on her family and, after weighing the risks of Deathstrike's method, sent her true body into the Cancerverse.
• Daisy put on the fingerless glove, and the deaths caused by Stark and Deadpool helped draw Star Mark power toward her.
• Daisy absorbed enough power to light more than half of her third point, but a black mist from the death-tainted energy covered it.

Daisy transformed her Holy Light into Shadow Magic to disperse the corrupted Power of Death among her followers, ordering Hydra and the Saintess Cult to recruit and kill in order to drain it. On the Shi'ar battlefield, Mr. Goblin demonstrated the new power by killing an Iron Guard and rallying the Saintess Cult.

• Daisy expelled the corrupted deathly energy and transformed her Holy Light entity into the Shadow Entity.
• Daisy gave Crossbones and other followers guidance that let them wield Shadow Magic alongside their Holy Light abilities.

• The old Shi'ar king appointed Vulcan to fight Gladiator and activated the royal family's secret Iron Guard.
• Mr. Goblin killed an Iron Guard in front of the Shi'ar troops and rallied the Saintess Cult with their new battle cry.

Daisy expanded the Saintess Cult and balanced her growing power with the negative emotions it absorbed. As her Star Brand advanced, Wanda called her back when Jean went into labor, leaving Daisy anxious at Jean’s bedside.

• The Saintess Cult recruited more than eight million soldiers, who learned Shadow Concealment and went to the battlefield.
• Daisy used the cult’s recruits to help consume her killing intent and settled into a rhythm of absorbing and expending negative emotions.

• Wanda told Daisy that Jean was going into labor, and Daisy teleported to the delivery room to hold Jean’s hand.
• As Jean’s labor intensified, Daisy feared that Jean or the child might be harmed.

• Wanda, Lorna, Hill, and many friends gathered to support Daisy while Jean gave birth.
• Lorna and Rachel distracted Daisy by talking about Peter Parker, and Wanda urged Daisy to go help Jean.
• Daisy entered Phoenix Space, while Lorna pulled Rachel away after detecting an unmarked drone near the estate.
• Lorna and Rachel shot down the drone, and Cyclops watched its final images before Daisy saw Jean's spiritual body struggling with a Phoenix Egg.

Daisy and Jean merged into the White Phoenix to help Jean deliver the Phoenix Egg, and Little Rachel was born as a remarkably alert baby girl. Daisy and Jean welcomed their daughter together in the delivery room.

• Daisy reassured the waiting relatives that Jean and the newborn were safe, then helped Jean bathe the baby while teasing her until Jean blasted Daisy out of the room.

• Daisy told the waiting friends and relatives that Jean and Little Rachel were safe, then helped bathe the baby while teasing her until Jean blasted Daisy out of the room.
• Jean pushed Little Rachel in a stroller as Daisy introduced her to Wanda and Lorna; the baby called Wanda “Sister” and made a mocking face at Rachel, who took offense.
• Jean worried that Rachel and Little Rachel's mutual rejection would cause problems, but Daisy argued that their different lives meant they would not be identical.
• Daisy proposed calling Rachel Big Ya and Little Rachel Second Ya, and Jean objected to the nicknames.
• The next day, both Rachels accepted their nicknames, and Wanda reserved Third Ya for her unborn child.

Daisy stayed with Wanda through a difficult labor and altered the Threads of Fate connecting Wanda, Daisy, and the unborn child. Wanda’s delivery became safe, and she gained a new fate, though the child had not yet been born.

• Little Rachel awakened her telekinetic powers fifteen days after her birth, while Daisy prepared to focus on Wanda’s imminent delivery.

• Daisy announced that Wanda and the child would be safe and that Wanda had gained an entirely new fate.

Wanda gave birth to Little Franklin, an Omega-level mutant who used Reality Alteration immediately and rapidly learned to care for herself. Daisy took Little Franklin and Little Rachel to the Savage Land to meet animals, where Little Franklin again judged her father’s behavior.

• Wanda gave birth to Little Franklin, who used Reality Alteration to clean the delivery room and reassured her mother instead of crying.

• Reed asked Daisy to find Tony Stark something productive to do because he was concerned about Stark’s state of mind.
• Daisy asked Baldy to consider Stark for Secretary of State, and Pepper agreed to the proposal on Stark’s behalf.
• Unable to reach Stark in the Cancerverse, Pepper went to Baldy’s campaign office to confirm the arrangement.
