Gravik sent Wanda and Quicksilver to kill Peter, but Gwen and Peter freed them from their drug-induced control. Peter confronted Wanda and Quicksilver with the reality of the alien monsters they had been helping, leaving them to reconsider whether they should fight humanity.

• Gravik ordered Wanda to immobilize Peter with Chaos Magic and Quicksilver to kill him.

• Peter used the Fire-Huan Cloth and the Horse Talisman to free Wanda, while Gwen used Shun Shun Rikka to remove the drug from Quicksilver.
• Wanda attacked Peter again, still believing Gravik's claims, but Peter calmly urged her and Quicksilver to look at the monsters fighting against humanity.
• Wanda and Quicksilver stopped and turned toward Gravik's alien forces as Peter asked whether they were sure they wanted to stand against humanity.

Peter used Mantis to restore Wanda and Quicksilver’s memories, turning them against Gravik and helping the superheroes overwhelm the Skrull forces. As Gravik’s army collapsed, he revealed a remote control that he claimed would detonate nuclear bombs beneath thirteen national capitals.

• Peter had Mantis transmit his memories to Wanda and Quicksilver, exposing Gravik’s plans and how he had controlled them and abused Skrull civilians.

After Wanda killed Gravik, Peter faced the question of what to do with the surrendered Super-Skrull Soldiers and the Skrull civilians. He spared Talos and the civilians, offering them a new home on Xandar, but as the war’s end was celebrated, scarlet chains suddenly bound every superhero on the battlefield.

• Wanda killed Gravik, and the remaining Super-Skrull Soldiers lost their morale and surrendered.
