Chapter Summaries

At Odin’s sea burial, Leon learned that Odin planned to die so Thor could inherit his power and become a God King strong enough to face a greater coming crisis. Odin offered Leon Asgard’s divine artifacts and treasury, admitting he should have trusted Leon and the Ancient One earlier.

After Hela’s defeat, Thor asked Leon to imprison her, but Leon stripped her of her power and banished her to Earth. Thor was left wondering how Leon had wielded his divine power so effortlessly.

Wanda and the Avengers fought Professor X, Magneto, and the Mutants after Professor X tried to control the minds of everyone on Earth. The battle reached the ground outside New York, where Apocalypse appeared as Tony pursued Kitty Pryde.

• Professor X used Cerebro to project his psychic power across Earth, but Wanda’s Chaos Magic made his attack rebound and invaded his mind.
• A second psychic force joined Professor X against Wanda while Magneto hurled metal and buildings at her; Wanda restored the destruction as Tony, Diana, and Kara arrived to help.

• Tony flew toward Kitty Pryde, then stopped when his visor showed that Apocalypse had joined the battle.

The Avengers defeated the Mutants from another Earth, and Wanda revealed that the Mutants had destroyed four other Earths to survive previous collisions. She began recounting how their first collision led them to unite with governments and destroy the opposing Earth.

• Diana killed Apocalypse, Magneto, and Storm, while Kara killed most of the Mutants who tried to flee.
• Pietro defeated the other world's Quicksilver, Hulk beat Juggernaut, and Wanda overwhelmed Professor X, forcing the remaining Mutants to surrender.
• The Avengers bound the surviving Mutants, and Wanda stopped Hawkeye from interrogating Wolverine because she had learned the reason for their invasion from Professor X's mind.
• Wanda revealed that the Mutants had already destroyed four Earths, then explained that during the first collision Magneto's forces and the governments used Sentry Robots and compression bombs to destroy the opposing Earth.
• Wanda said the X-Men attacked Magneto after the first Earth was destroyed, but a second collision crisis began before the dispute was resolved.

Wanda explained how repeated World Collisions drove the Mutants to commit mass murder, and the Avengers decided to end their suffering by sending them back to their Earth. Outside the universes, Leon captured the Phoenix Force Fragment from Jean Grey and continued investigating the collisions.

• Wanda described how the Mutants had destroyed four Earths and prepared to invade the fifth, while Tony wondered whether the Avengers might have made the same choices without Leon.
• Tony asked what to do with the defeated Mutants, and Wolverine begged the Avengers to kill him and his companions so their suffering would end.
• Carter shot the Mutants with ordinary constitutions, and Wanda used Chaos Magic to turn the survivors into bubbles that drifted back to the Mutant Earth.
• Tony warned that World Collisions might be part of a larger Multiversal crisis and urged the Avengers to prepare, while Hela reconsidered her former arrogance.
• Leon caught the Phoenix Force Fragment leaving Jean Grey, transformed it into a black Phoenix, and stored it for study as he continued observing the universes.

Leon discovered that World Collisions were caused by the upstream branches of the Multiverse’s timelines contracting together, while the Avengers dealt with Mutants Earth’s invasion. He pushed the universes apart and left with the cause identified, but the source-level contraction remained a serious threat.

• Mutants Earth continued sending fighter jets and superpowered troops to attack S Earth, and the Avengers fought back despite their attempts to explain the collision crisis.
• Leon found a clue and pushed Mutants Earth away from S Earth, causing the attacks to stop.
• Captain America and Tony directed the Avengers to comfort the affected survivors as the team struggled with the violence of the Multiverse.
• Leon examined the timelines of both universes and found that their upstream sources were converging, while the Mutants Universe’s timeline had become tangled after the collision began.
• Leon traced the convergence to the squeezed-together main timeline trunks and concluded that source-level contraction caused the increasingly frequent World Collisions; Doctor Strange’s world-traveling and the Main Universe’s Memory Spell were only local causes.

Leon suspected that the TVA had fallen and took JARVIS and Dark Doctor Strange to investigate. They entered a damaged, bloodstained TVA where JARVIS could still use the Infinity Stones, suggesting its anti-magic devices had been disabled or destroyed.

• Leon found that the Time Tablet could not connect to the TVA and concluded that the organization had likely encountered serious trouble.
• JARVIS said he had received recent TVA intelligence, but Leon reasoned that the source behind the Multiversal Collision had manipulated the flow of information to make the TVA seem active.
• Dark Doctor Strange joined Leon and JARVIS as they traveled beyond time to the TVA.
• The three found the TVA corridor damaged by battle, with bloodstains and no bodies, while Dark Doctor Strange judged that the damage did not resemble his counterparts' work.
• JARVIS reported that he could still use the Infinity Stones, and Leon continued deeper into the silent TVA.

Leon, Dark Doctor Strange, and JARVIS searched the ruined TVA and restored its control system, discovering that Doctor Doom had severed its connection to the outside world and caused the Multiverse’s timeline to collapse. JARVIS recovered records showing Doom had once served the TVA before exterminating the Council of Kangs.

• Leon and his companions searched the empty TVA and found no employees or bodies.
• JARVIS reasoned that the invader had isolated the TVA because he feared its personnel might stop him, while Leon said finding him would be easier than repairing the damaged timelines.
• Leon restored the TVA’s control equipment, and its displays confirmed that the timeline’s source had contracted and World Collisions were occurring across the Multiverse.
• JARVIS recovered his subroutine from residual data and identified Doctor Doom as the invader who had erased the TVA’s records and destroyed its technology.
• JARVIS played footage showing Doom had served the TVA and later exterminated the Council of Kangs at their gathering place.

JARVIS explained how Doctor Doom destroyed the TVA and recruited many of its employees before pursuing a mysterious Loki variant and power at the end of time. Leon concluded that Doom caused the Multiverse collision, though how he did it remained unclear.

• Doctor Doom massacred the Kang variants, sealed time in their arena, and took their time technologies.
• JARVIS recounted how Doom later destroyed the TVA’s time technologies, defeated its resisters, and left with employees who chose to follow him.
• Dark Doctor Strange questioned why so many TVA employees had joined Doom, and Leon explained that Doom had great personal charisma and pursued a goal that might not be unjust.
• JARVIS revealed that Doom had investigated a mysterious Loki variant before launching his rebellion and that the figure seemed connected to the Multiverse’s timelines.
• In the recording, Doctor Doom declared that the world was sick and that he would rebuild it by seizing power at the end of time.
• Leon said Doctor Doom was the culprit behind the Multiverse collision and suggested that it was tied to the power Doom had mentioned.

Leon explained how God Loki became the keeper of the Multiverse’s timelines and speculated that Doctor Doom had obtained his power to compress time’s main branches. Dark Strange rejected the idea as impossible, but Leon argued that their world often allowed weaker beings to plunder power from vastly stronger ones.

• Leon recounted how Loki and Sylvie killed He Who Remains, triggering the Multiverse’s collapse and leading Loki to become God Loki, the living Temporal Loom.
• Leon said Doctor Doom must have obtained God Loki’s power to compress the main trunks of time.
• JARVIS considered whether Doom used Kang variants’ time technology to defeat God Loki but could not calculate the odds.
• Dark Strange insisted that Doom could not take power from a being who controlled time across the Multiverse.
• Leon pointed out that Dark Strange had once swallowed the Eye Demon’s tentacles while still a relatively weak mage, showing that extraordinary power theft was possible.

Leon explained why Doctor Doom might be able to take God Loki’s power, then set out to find Doom while JARVIS and Dark Strange repaired the TVA. An emergency call from Spider-Gwen revealed that Morlun and the rest of The Family had tracked her group down, leaving Leon to respond to the Spider-Man Multiverse crisis.

• Leon argued that God Loki might surrender his time power to Doctor Doom because he wanted freedom from the End of Time.
• Dark Strange suggested that Leon could take the power back from Doom, while JARVIS questioned why God Loki would aid someone who planned to destroy the Multiverse.
• Leon tasked JARVIS and Dark Strange with repairing the TVA and locating its scattered staff, then departed to find Doctor Doom.
• A TVA emergency alert interrupted Leon, and JARVIS accepted a call from the injured and exhausted Spider-Gwen.
• Spider-Gwen reported that Morlun had revived from a clone and pursued her group with his siblings from The Family, then her call cut off as they attacked again.

Gwen joined the Spider-Man Alliance after losing contact with the TVA, but Morlun attacked its headquarters in Universe-982 and began slaughtering its Spider-Men. As Morlun’s siblings Brix and Bora arrived, Morlun ordered them to help him devour the survivors.

• After more than a year without word from the TVA, Gwen joined the Spider-Man Alliance and traveled between worlds on its missions.
• Morlun ambushed Gwen and Spider-Ham, tore off Spider-Ham’s arm, and ate it before Gwen escaped with him to another world.
• Gwen treated Spider-Ham’s injuries, realized Morlun was targeting the entire Spider-Verse, and returned to warn the Alliance.
• Morlun attacked the Alliance headquarters in Universe-982, where Spider-Man 2099 and the other Spider-Men fought back.
• Brix and Bora arrived, tore off a young Spider-Man’s leg, and drank his blood while the Spider-Men shielded the injured Peter Parker.
• Morlun rose from the assault and ordered Brix and Bora to help him eat the Spider-Men.

Morlun and his siblings overwhelmed the Spider-Men at the Spider Alliance headquarters, but Gwen managed to contact Leon and called for his help. Leon crossed into their world, arriving just as Morlun attacked Gwen and freezing everything around him.

• Morlun, Bora, and Brix slaughtered the Spider-Men and grew stronger by devouring them.
• Gwen contacted the TVA with her Time Tablet and saw Leon, regaining hope before returning to the battle.
• Gwen rescued a wounded Peter Parker, but Bora cut her web and Brix revealed that the Inheritors were gathering the Bride, the Scion, and the Other.
• Morlun recognized Leon's name and vowed to kill Gwen before making Leon watch him die.
• Morlun pounced on Gwen as the Spider-Men rushed to intervene, but Leon arrived and froze the world around him.

Leon revived every Spider-Man Morlun’s group had drained, then killed Morlun and his siblings and erased the Inheritors’ cloning facility. Gwen recognized Leon as the Spider-Men stared in shock at the ashes, while Leon worried that the Beyonders might also cross into the MCU.

• Leon revived the shriveled Spider-Men across Spider-Man Alliance Tower and found that Holland Spider and Garfield Spider were not there.
• Leon examined Morlun’s memories and learned that Morlun had crossed into the Spider-Man Multiverse during a World Collision, while the Comic Universe faced its own Collision Crisis.
• Leon killed Morlun and his siblings, and his power followed causality to erase the Inheritors’ cloning facility in World 01.
• The Spider-Men’s attacks resumed after Leon’s high-speed actions, and they watched Morlun and the others crumble into ashes.
• Gwen saw Leon and sprang up, relieved that he had arrived.

Leon entered Marvel’s Comic Multiverse and saw that collisions threatened every universe. He arrived on Earth-13 as Solus was devouring Captain Universe Spider-Man, and kicked Solus away.

• Leon sent the noisy Spider-Men flying out of Alliance Tower, then told Gwen to take them to the TVA and stabilize the Multiverse while he went after Morlun’s family.
• Gwen stayed behind and went to find the other Spider-Men after Leon left for the Comic Multiverse.
• Leon saw that universes across the Comic Multiverse were colliding and learned that Earth-616’s heroes had descended into slaughter during the Collision Crisis.
• On Earth-13, Solus and the Inheritors attacked the Spider-Men despite Captain Universe Spider-Man’s presence.
