Chapter Summaries

King Ghidorah destroyed the beachhead and rampaged inland while Su Ming waited for Godzilla to appear. A hydrogen bomb drew Godzilla to the coast, where the two colossal monsters charged at each other.

Back at the villa, Natasha asked to visit other universes and revealed that Tony had disappeared from surveillance after seeing his parents die again.

• The Adjutant arranged to take Godzilla to Sepulk for treatment and promised it a new ocean planet, while Zombie Tyrannomon took over the fight against King Ghidorah.

Su Ming heard updates about Red Skull, S.H.I.E.L.D., and other heroes while sharing a meal with the Spider Web girls. The next day, he searched for the missing Tony Stark and instead found a despairing Peter Parker on a rooftop, who fell when Su Ming startled him.

• The next day, Su Ming checked Tony's Malibu home, Avengers Mansion, and Stark Industries, but found no trace of him.
• Su Ming found Spider-Man on the Stark Industries rooftop, drinking and smoking while he sobbed.
• Su Ming asked Peter why he was not at school, startling him into falling off the rooftop.

Peter confessed to Deathstroke that Douyin’s recommendations had exposed his embarrassing viewing habits to his classmates. Deathstroke comforted him, though he ended by pointing out that Peter had built up his account’s recommendations.

• Peter explained that his Butterbeer and cigarette were harmless, then asked Deathstroke not to laugh at him.
• Peter said he liked cats, cooking videos, and funny videos of girls, but could not explain why the combination had upset him so much.
• Peter revealed that Mary had borrowed his phone, and Douyin recommended an explicit catgirl video at full volume in front of Gwen, Mary, and their classmates.
• Deathstroke held back his laughter and told Peter to look on the bright side: at least he had trained his account’s recommendations well.

Su Ming helped Peter blame Tony for Douyin’s embarrassing recommendations and took him to search for answers. After learning Tony had been missing for half a month, Peter still resolved to find him and clear his name.

• Su Ming convinced Peter that Tony was responsible for Douyin’s recommendations, and Peter agreed to seek an explanation.

• Su Ming asked Pepper to recount her last meeting with Tony, while Coulson confirmed that surveillance matched her account so far.
• Pepper said Tony received a hamburger delivery after the funeral, spent time in the Engineering Department laboratory, and returned to her office around five.
• Su Ming planned to inspect the laboratory with Spider-Man and asked Pepper what Tony had said last.

Pepper told Su Ming and Coulson that Tony had left behind his Arc Reactor and disappeared, so they searched Stark Industries for clues. Their investigation had not yet found Tony, and Scott also revealed that he was struggling to afford a lawyer in a custody dispute.

• Pepper showed Su Ming Tony's Arc Reactor and recounted how he had said he was going on vacation before leaving.
• Coulson reported that Tony had left no flight or vehicle records, and Su Ming said scans found no brainwaves but confirmed Tony's soul was not in the common Hells.
• Su Ming invited Pepper to take them to the engineering department, where they headed toward Tony's private laboratory.
• Su Ming greeted Scott, who said he had last seen Tony about three months earlier and rarely encountered him at work.
• Scott told Su Ming and Spider-Man that his ex-wife was trying to restrict his visits with their daughter and that he could not afford a lawyer.
• Su Ming offered to kill Scott's ex-wife's new boyfriend and brainwash his ex-wife, but Scott rejected the plan.

Su Ming searched Tony Stark’s workshop for clues to his disappearance and found evidence of a hidden Safehouse or secret passage. The search pointed toward a concealed escape route beneath the laboratory, while Scott Lang remained undecided about how to handle his ex-wife’s new boyfriend.

• Su Ming offered to deal with Scott Lang’s ex-wife’s new boyfriend, but Scott refused to consider killing him and chose to seek legal help instead.
• Spider-Man offered to contact Daredevil, while Scott decided Captain America could testify that Ant-Man was fit to raise his daughter.

• Su Ming found a hidden backup route and explained that Tony’s enemies could have trapped him in the enclosed workshop.
• Su Ming said Tony could use his engineering suit and Resonance Converter to dig an underground Safehouse, and Spider-Man wondered whether it would include a courtyard and stables.

Su Ming led Pepper and the others to Tony's hidden safehouse, where they found his message and a Rescue armor he had left for her. After Pepper mourned Tony, Deathstroke said he knew where Tony had gone and took Peter with him.

• Su Ming used the Arc Reactor and Strangle's scent to uncover Tony's hidden safehouse beneath the company.
• Pepper inserted the Arc Reactor into the gate and activated Tony's message and the Rescue armor he had made for her.
• Tony's recording said he had gone to seek the strongest machine in the universe and hoped the armor would protect Pepper if he died.
• The Rescue armor equipped itself onto Pepper, and she dropped to her knees in grief.
• Deathstroke said he knew where Tony had gone and left with Peter, while Peter protested about the explicit videos on his Douyin.

Deathstroke brought Spider-Man to Wakanda, where he secured T’Challa’s support for the Great Cosmic Voyage Plan and asked for help locating a buried Celestials machine. He and Shuri headed to the underground Research Center to investigate the mine and check whether Iron Man was nearby.

• Deathstroke teleported himself and Spider-Man to Wakanda, where T’Challa welcomed them and introduced his family.
• Deathstroke offered Wakanda an early place in the Great Cosmic Voyage Plan, and T’Challa agreed to cooperate with the S.P.E.A.R. Agency.
• Deathstroke asked T’Challa to help find the Seeder, a Celestials machine buried beneath Wakanda and infected by the Brood in ancient times.
• T’Challa said he knew nothing about the Seeder, and Shuri explained that Wakanda’s surveys could not detect what lay beneath the Vibranium veins.
• Deathstroke told T’Challa that he had killed Celestials who planned to restart Earth, then asked Shuri to check whether Iron Man had been spotted nearby.
• Shuri led Deathstroke and Spider-Man toward the Research Center beneath the palace, where the mine entrance was located.

Su Ming accompanied Spider-Man to Wakanda, where they met T'Challa, Shuri, and Storm as they headed toward the underground Research Center to investigate a Celestial beneath the country. Storm worried about leaving the X-Men to marry T'Challa, and Su Ming reassured her before suggesting they might need a Mage.

• Su Ming reasoned that Tony had likely learned about the Seeder beneath Wakanda from the empty Celestial in the Arctic and had come to investigate it.
• T'Challa told Su Ming that he thought Shuri was better suited to rule Wakanda, while Shuri said she was content as its Chief Scientist.
• Storm appeared looking for a phone charger, and Su Ming teased her and T'Challa about their relationship being no secret to Professor X.
• Storm admitted she felt torn between marrying T'Challa and remaining with the X-Men, and Su Ming said Wakanda's queen could help Mutants more than she could as an X-Man.
• T'Challa comforted Storm by promising that the Leopard God would watch over her, and Su Ming interrupted them and said they might be able to use a Mage.

The chapter recounted Ororo’s past and revealed that Oshtur had secretly guided her magical development, arranging her training and shielding her from spellcasting costs. It left Storm poised to reunite with T'Challa, while Su Ming judged that becoming Wakanda’s queen suited her better than becoming Sorcerer Supreme.

• Ororo survived a plane crash that killed her parents, became a thief in Cairo, and was taken in by Charles.
• At fifteen, Ororo followed recurring dreams to Africa, where she met and fell in love with T'Challa before his people took him back to Wakanda.
• Ororo met Ainet, learned Shamanic Magic, combined it with her electromagnetic powers, and became Storm, a figure worshiped by local tribes.
• Su Ming connected Ororo’s magical potential to her ancestor Ayesha, a former Sorcerer Supreme, and explained Oshtur’s long-running protection of her.
• Su Ming revealed that Ainet’s training and Storm’s cost-free weather magic had been arranged by Oshtur, who drew power from Watoomb.
• Su Ming concluded that Ororo was too naive for the role of Sorcerer Supreme and that becoming Wakanda’s queen might suit her better.

Shuri showed Su Ming, Storm, Peter, and Deathstroke Wakanda’s Vibranium research center and its vast mineral veins. After memorizing the mine’s layout, Su Ming asked Storm to open a portal so they could enter the vein.

• Peter’s Spider-Sense warned him as the Royal Guard glared at Storm, and she guessed they resented her marrying into the royal family.
• Shuri revealed the research center’s Vibranium mine, and Peter apologized for Americans having stolen the ore before she assured him it was only a joke.
• Shuri invited Peter to see her robotics laboratory, but Black Panther reminded her to scan the mineral vein first.
• Shuri displayed a three-dimensional map of the Vibranium deposits, which Su Ming memorized before asking Black Panther to lend him Storm.
• Su Ming told Peter to get ready and asked Storm to make a portal through the wall into the mineral vein.

Su Ming, Storm, and Peter entered Wakanda’s mineral vein to follow Tony’s trail, while Shuri hurried back to her lab after witnessing Su Ming’s Phase Shift. During the flight, Su Ming revealed disturbing details about Logan’s past, leaving Peter shocked and disillusioned.

• Ororo admitted she could not cast a Teleportation Portal, so Su Ming used his Cloak to Phase Shift himself, Storm, and Peter through the glass into the mine.
• Shuri noticed that the glass had remained intact and rushed back to her lab to investigate Phase Shift.
• The Adjutant infiltrated Wakanda’s closed network through Strangle and helped Su Ming review the mine’s surveillance footage.
• Su Ming found evidence of Tony’s route through the mine’s security cameras and led the others deeper along his trail.
• Storm criticized Iron Man based on Logan’s stories, and Peter defended Tony while worrying that he had entered Wakanda without permission.
• Su Ming told Peter that Logan had 927 illegitimate children, and Peter’s respect for Wolverine collapsed.

Deathstroke showed Storm and Peter evidence that Wolverine had abandoned hundreds of children, and warned that the Father Avengers Alliance planned to confront him on Utopia. Storm and Peter condemned Logan as the group continued through the mine, following Tony's footprints.

• Deathstroke projected files showing that Wolverine had fathered and abandoned more than two hundred children in Japan, many of whom had suffered or died in poverty.
• Peter condemned Wolverine's behavior, while Storm decided to warn Professor X and Jean, though the mine had no phone signal.
• Deathstroke predicted that the Father Avengers Alliance would soon attack Utopia and that Wolverine might kill his children to silence them.
• Peter vowed not to abandon any future family and promised to tell his friends about Logan's past.
• Deathstroke led Storm and Peter deeper into the mine after spotting Tony's footprints.

Su Ming led Ororo and Spider-Man deep into Wakanda’s Vibranium mine to rescue Tony, using her anger at Logan to keep her claustrophobia at bay. When they broke into an underground chamber and found virus-infected giant insects, Ororo prepared to fight them.

• Su Ming used Ororo’s anger toward Logan to distract her from her fear of enclosed spaces as the group followed Tony’s tracks underground.
• Su Ming warned Peter and Ororo that Tony was seeking a Celestials robot called the Seeder, whose corpse could spread the Brood Virus.
• Peter vowed to rescue Tony, and Su Ming said he had brought Peter along so he could settle accounts with him.
• Strangle dug into an underground chamber, where virus-infected giant pill bugs rushed toward the group.
• Su Ming told Ororo to handle the swarm, and she unleashed a tornado of wind and electricity at the insects.

Storm destroyed the Swarm blocking the cavern, and Deathstroke prepared to burn the infected corpses so the group could continue safely. They cleared the way forward and set out to find Tony.

• Storm unleashed a storm of wind, lightning, and stones that killed the Swarm while Deathstroke waited and Peter watched helplessly.
• Peter questioned Deathstroke about the huge bugs, their eyes, and the nature of dreams, then invited him to play video games with Deadpool.
• Deathstroke stopped Storm from continuing to whip the charred corpses and noted that their infected fluids made the passage unsafe for Peter and Storm.
• Deathstroke asked whether Storm knew fire magic, and Storm said she could start a fire with electricity but had mastered only wind and earth.
• Deathstroke pulled out a Flamethrower and told Storm to keep air flowing with her magic as they burned a clean path through the cavern.
