An Inhuman named Ulysses Cain who had recently been brought in the Inhumans helped save a Celestial Destroyer day when Medusa used the information from a vision to warn the Avengers. During a celebratory party, the heroes discovered the source of the knowledge of the Inhuman. Captain Marvel wanted Ulysses to work with the Ultimates in order to face disasters in advance before they happen, but Iron Man objected to the idea, suggesting that it was dangerous to take his visions for granted for several reasons. The fact that it was possible to avoid the events that Cain saw meant that he did not have access to anything about stone, moreover, little was known about how Ulysses' powers worked, including their effectiveness. Tony Stark also questioned the morality of stopping and punishing someone for a disaster that they could potentially do, and maybe they didn't even know what they would do, however, Carol remained adamant about using Cain, considering that it had worked perfectly in stopping the Celestial.
