Miles warned Doom that his repeated time reversals had made him an anchor for Abraxas, but Doom abandoned the World Anchor plan and returned to Doom Domain. Miles sent Reed, Susan, Ben, Johnny, and Silver Surfer after Doom while entering the Ferrotus Dimension; Feirotus then manifested on Earth and confronted Abraxas as their battle began.

• Miles arrived in space and warned Doom that Earth had already been destroyed and that Doom had become Abraxas's anchor through forty-two time reversals.
• Doom rejected Miles's plea to save the present reality, put away the Ultimate Nullifier, and returned to Doom Domain to reconsider his plan.

As the World Anchor collapsed and Abraxas threatened the universe, Reed and the Fantastic Four rallied frightened civilians to search the Baxter Building for the Doomsday Escape Pod. After finding it and learning how the previous Reed had chosen Victor to survive, Reed began formulating a way to stop Abraxas and realized Franklin might become a new Galactus.

• Reed, the Fantastic Four, and Shalla-Bal felt the effects of Feirotus's battle with Abraxas as the two realities began overlapping throughout the Baxter Building.
• Susan reassured the frightened civilians and organized them into search groups, while Reed, Ben, and Johnny directed them to look for the Doomsday Escape Pod.

• Shalla-Bal retrieved the Doomsday Escape Pod from the unstable doomsday reality, and Reed discovered his previous self had written, "Go, Victor," on it.
• Reed concluded that the previous version of himself had chosen Victor to survive because Victor could keep working after doomsday and because Reed could not bear to leave his family behind.
• After Shalla-Bal ruled out resurrecting Galactus, Reed remembered Galactus's words about a child inheriting his throne and realized Franklin might become a new Galactus.

Miles awoke in a wasteland dimension after being carried away from a battle between the Omega Gang and Feirotus’s cult, and discovered Aurora, his armor, and his powers were gone. When Quentin refused to return the Negative Zone Key, Miles seized it with growing telekinetic force, and their powers collided.

• A ritual at a Nevada scrapyard summoned Miles, whom the cultists hailed as the Child of God, just as Quentin Quire and the Omega Gang attacked.
• Quentin and the Omega Gang defeated the cult’s reanimated Sentinels, took the unconscious Miles, and fled as a giant Sentinel awakened and pursued them.
• The Omega Gang escaped by burying the giant Sentinel under scrap, while a towering man learned that Miles Zero had been taken and that the Black Spirit King wanted his parallel-universe counterpart found.
• Miles woke aboard the Omega Gang’s vehicle, realized Aurora, his armor, and the Negative Zone Key were missing, and saw Quentin holding the Key.
• Miles used his telekinetic power to pull the Negative Zone Key from Quentin, and their opposing powers clashed in an explosive impact.

Miles Zero fought Quentin Quire and the Omega Gang after arriving in a ruined Mutant world, then learned that the Black Spirit King had returned and brought Feirotus into the world. The Negative Zone Key failed, and Aurora warned Miles that the world was dangerous and urged him to find the Black Spirit King.

• Miles abandoned his psychic struggle with Quentin, reclaimed the Negative Zone Key, and threw him into the hallway before fighting off Vincent and Christina.
• Miles recognized the group as Mutants and learned that they were the Omega Gang; after destroying Quentin's psionic shotgun, he gave his name as Miles Zero.

• The Negative Zone Key malfunctioned and exploded after Aurora contacted Miles from the Negative Zone, warning him to find the Black Spirit King; Quentin confirmed that Feirotus's rules had collapsed civilization.

Miles learned that Feirotus had crippled technology and civilization in this world, then joined Quentin and the others on their way to Xavier Institute. His attempt to use the abandoned communications network awakened hordes of Scarlet Sentinels, and the group escaped after Miles briefly controlled a few of them.

• Quentin and Herman told Miles about the collapsed world, Vespera, and Xavier Institute's relocation to Greymalkin, and Quentin decided his group would travel there with Miles.
• Miles found that Feirotus's rules disrupted his Psionic Magic and his attempt to use the Eternal Crystal Shard, then restarted an abandoned communications tower to search for information.
• The tower's signal awakened dormant machines across the wasteland, which identified Miles as the Black Spirit King.
• Vincent warned Miles that Scarlet Sentinels had appeared, and the group drove into a horde of corrupted machines that blocked their route.
• Miles halted the machines briefly and redirected six nearby Sentinels to open an escape route, allowing Quentin, Vincent, and the others to drive out of the encirclement.

Miles and the Omega Gang reached Hawthorne Town, where he concealed his identity and learned that a nearby Sentinel Factory had become active again. The gang accepted a job to investigate and destroy it, and Miles decided to join them as the Black Spirit King’s forces searched for him.

• In Vespera’s Silent Court, Exodus told Nexarion that another version of him had appeared in the Nevada wilderness, and Nexarion ordered him to bring the man in.
• After their vehicle broke down, Quentin’s group traveled to Hawthorne Town, where Miles learned about the White Court and saw how Mutants lived and worked in the wasteland.
• Miles disguised himself with a metal mask and gray robe, then rejoined Herman and Radian at the truck motel as Quentin met Marshall Stone of the Hawthorne Gang.
• Marshall hired the Omega Gang to investigate an old Sentinel Factory northwest of town and destroy it if it was coming back online, agreeing to pay four barrels of diesel and any recoverable parts.
• Miles decided to join the mission because the factory might contain data that could explain why the Scarlet Sentinels had mistaken him for the Black Spirit King.

Miles and Quentin entered the underground Sentinel Factory to investigate Eli Finch’s missing brother and an unusual signal connected to Miles. They fought through the awakened Sentinels and destroyed a massive aggregate monster, then continued toward the signal Miles sensed ahead.

• Eli Finch led Quentin, Miles, and the others to the underground entrance where his brother Sam’s scavenger team had disappeared.
• Miles detected at least twenty Sentinel signals below and sensed a larger, unusual signal that seemed to call to him.

• Miles sensed that the signal connected to him lay farther ahead, and he and Quentin continued down the corridor.

Miles and Quentin discovered a Prime Model at the Sentinel Factory, where Miles saw a memory of Aurora defending an unconscious Miles Zero from Sentinel Robots. The Prime Model recognized Miles, but he seized its core and helped the Omega Gang clear the factory; on the way back, Miles asked Quentin about Aurora and resolved to seek answers at the academy.

• Miles asked Quentin whether he had heard of Aurora and decided he would need to go to the academy for answers.

Quentin, Miles, and the Omega Gang encountered a caravan under attack by Scarlet Sentinels, which Rogue and Sooraya helped destroy. As the caravan prepared to travel to the Xavier Institute, Miles introduced himself to Rogue as Miles Zero, leaving her startled.

• Marshall learned that the Resistance Army had arrived near Hawthorne Town after Quentin and his group departed.
• Miles discussed the Eternal Crystal Shard and a Sentinel core with Quentin while the truck headed toward Greymalkin.
• The group found a caravan being attacked by Scarlet Sentinels and a towering aggregate machine, and Rogue destroyed the machine with lightning and a punch.
• Sooraya and Quentin joined Rogue in defeating the remaining Sentinels, then Callisto identified the caravan as a White Court convoy carrying supplies promised by Ms. Frost.
• Rogue offered to take Miles to the Institute, and she reacted with alarm when he said his name was Miles Zero.

Miles arrived at Greymalkin Town and met Ororo Munroe, who welcomed him to Xavier Institute after Rogue confirmed he was not the Black Spirit King of their world. As Miles sought answers about Feirotus and his counterpart, the Institute’s out-of-control Danger Room raised a new concern.

• Cable told Miles that the Dusk Legion would reach Greymalkin in twenty hours and that the Black Spirit King had ordered the Cult to capture the other Miles Zero.
• Nightcrawler and Ororo confronted Cable, who explained that he had come to take Miles somewhere safe, but Miles questioned the plan and asked to enter the Danger Room for information about the Black Spirit King.
• Miles explained to Ororo that he wanted to understand why the Black Spirit King had abandoned the people who cared about him, and Ororo permitted him to enter the Danger Room with Anna and the others for twelve hours.
• Ororo ordered Cable to contact Oasis and began preparing for the possibility that the Dusk Legion would threaten the Institute and nearby community.
• Cable told Ororo that Oasis was in Colorado but warned that Lorna Dane had said they did not want to be drawn into conflicts with the outside world.

Exodus led the Dusk Legion toward Greymalkin to capture Miles Zero, while Miles and his allies entered the Danger Room and found themselves inside a simulation of Alkali Lake Dam. The apparent simulation ended with a girl greeting Miles as “other me” after taking control of the experience.

• Miles, Quentin, Rogue, and Hisako Ichiki entered the sealed Danger Room as the school prepared to evacuate and sought additional help against the approaching Dusk Legion.
• The group appeared in a cell at Alkali Lake Dam, where Miles recognized the base from the Black Spirit King's origins and took control of its electronic systems.
• Miles searched the base for a younger Miles Zero but found no trace of him, while young Ororo and Nightcrawler attacked the group.
• A girl revealed that she had controlled the apparent reality and greeted Miles as her other self, while Miles lost control of the base's devices.

Miles discovered that the Danger Room had created a consciousness using Miles Zero’s data, then returned to the Negative Zone to stop Uodo from consuming the factory. After defeating Uodo, he learned Aurora did not remember telling him to find the Black Spirit King.

• Miles and the X-Men fought the Danger Room consciousness, which appeared as young versions of familiar Mutants and claimed it was arranging training for fun.
• Miles used the Eternal Crystal Shard to open a rift from the Danger Room scenario to the Negative Zone.
• Miles found Uodo consuming the Negative Zone Factory and used his electronic control powers to hold it back while Aurora defended the central core.

• Miles broke through Magneto’s magnetic barrier with Phoenix Flame and psionic energy, while Rogue, Quire, and Hisako defeated their opponents.
• Miles and Quire failed to find the boundaries of the Danger Room simulation, and Magneto transported everyone to a recreation of the Battle of Alcatraz Island.

• After Hisako Ichiki was badly hurt, Miles used the Phoenix Brand to destroy her attacker, then spread Feirotus corruption that caused the Sentinels to malfunction.
• Miles met Zero in the Danger Room and agreed to fight him, but Zero revealed his Electromagnetic Manipulation and tore Miles’s Adamantium spear from his hand.

Miles fought Zero in the Danger Room, discovered how to perceive the real system beneath its simulations, and took control of the corrupted facility. After Miles extracted Zero’s consciousness and the others awoke, a powerful psychic presence and an explosion outside the Danger Room revealed a new crisis at the institute.

• Zero used electromagnetic manipulation to attack Miles, who fought back with the Psypoint Core and Hawkeye’s combat instincts but was overwhelmed by Zero’s magnetic control.
• As Zero disrupted Miles’s bioelectrical signals, Miles learned to perceive the electromagnetic signals beneath the Danger Room’s simulated world and reached its reality layer.
