Suggested by underworld_stories
Doctor Doom leads a nine-member Cabal — Mephisto, Magneto, Emma Frost, Namor, Maximus, Blackheart, Attuma, and Grim Reaper — to corrupt the unborn child of Scarlet Witch. To complete the ritual, Doom and Magneto time-travel to retrieve Doom’s former lover, Morgan Le Fay. The moment she is pulled forward, reality screams — Wanda senses it, and the Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange, foresees his blood being used. Wanda recruits Thor, who seeks justice for Loki, to rush her to K'un-Lun to purify the child at birth. Strange forms the Midnight Suns — Blade, Ghost Rider, Moon Knight, Werewolf by Night, Man-Thing — plus a mysterious Asgardian warrior. Battle erupts in Kun Lun as the Cabal attacks. Morgan and Doom overpower Strange while Emma duels Blade and Magneto clashes with Ghost Rider and Moon Knight. Iron Fist joins the defense, but the Cabal gains ground. Thor falls. Seeing both Thor and Wanda threatened, the Asgardian reveals himself as Billy Kaplan — Wanda’s surviving son from a destroyed reality. He defeats Morgan and blocks Doom. Mephisto arrives to claim victory — but Billy declares the prophecy was about him. He annihilates Mephisto in a storm of blue light, freeing everyone. The Cabal retreats. Wanda reaches for Billy; he gently refuses, saying destiny is fulfilled, and fades. Thor forces Doom to release Loki’s stolen essence. As it escapes, Doom warns: he already has a new plan. For now, the child, now known to be twins, are safe.
