Despite the best efforts of the Nova corps, Thanos and his Black Order have managed to assemble the Infinity Gems (as seen in Nova, Race Against Time). With infinite power, Thanos sought to court Death, and erased half of the living beings in the Universe. Adam Warlock takes the task upon himself to gather forces to bring Thanos down and restore what they all lost. Using the connections of the Nova Corps, he locates a lot of the surviving heroes, but the disappearance of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the overtaking by H.A.M.M.E.R. make it difficult to bring everyone together. Captain Marvel is tasked with uniting Earth's heroes once more. Meanwhile Thanos, not satisfied with the immense power the Infinity Gauntlet brings him, appeals to the Cosmic Entities, with the Demon Mephisto whispering in his ear and guiding him down a darker path. - Bringing their plan together, the surviving heroes eventually divide themselves. Adam Warlock leads a team to appeal to the Cosmic Entities, hoping to convince them of the universe's worth and to turn against Thanos. Doctor Strange and his team seek out Mephisto, to either convince him to step back or take him down. Finally, Captain Marvel leads her own team, with an elaborate and dangerous plan to take down Thanos. In the end, all three stories culminate once again, as they manage to take the Mad Titan down. Undoing the evil he has caused with the Gauntlet, for a moment they feel like balance and peace in the universe has been restored.
