Comic Summary: In Manhattan, Marc Spector heads to his SpectorCorp offices to take care of long-neglected business, leaving his wheelchair-bound confidante, Jean-Paul DuChamp, to ponder his role as Bloodline, the potential champion of the Knights Templar. Spector, informed that the newly-established PhalkonCorp is making moves to solidify their business standing against SpectorCorp, assigns a research team to study their rivals. On his way to his office, having mistaken a previous encounter with PR Director Donna Kraft as a potential romance, Marc kisses her, and is rewarded with a slap.
At PhalkonCorp, Marlene Alraune tells her new employer Seth Phalkon she will not divulge personal information from her past relationship with Marc Spector for business purposes. Hiding his ulterior motives, he concurs.
That evening, patrolling Central Park, Moon Knight intervenes in a near-mugging/assault, then encounters two bizarre beings, Glaze and Cubist. The creatures have accosted the passengers and driver of a horse-bound carriage, Glaze encasing them in a resin-like substance, then they feed upon the horse. As Moon Knight approaches, Cubist's pheromones affect the hero's vision, allowing the pair to evade him. Moon Knight releases their victims from the substance and gives chase. Instead, he finds a gang of frat boys terrorizing the inhabitants of a shantytown, and assists the police in rounding them up.
He later returns to his headquarters, Shadowkeep, where Jean-Paul is repairing computer equipment that, unknown to them, is systematically being damaged by a gremlin.
Meanwhile, the two intruders in Spector Mansion, Gambit and the Werewolf, fight furiously making a shambles of the place, and set off an alarm. Moon Knight rushes to his former home to find himself in the middle of the melee.

Comic Summary: In Marc Spector's Long Island mansion, a three-way battle takes place between Moon Knight, Gambit and the Werewolf. The fight rages until Moon Knight commands his hovercraft, the Angelwing, to blast a hole in the wall then lock its guns on the two intruders. Things calm down, and Gambit explains his presence there is to warn Moon Knight that his fellow X-Man Psylocke had, during the infinity War, psychically detected a health risk. Feeling invaded by the psychic probe, Moon Knight dismisses Gambit and his warning, then turns to the Werewolf to ask what his intent is. The lycanthrope relates how he sensed the demonic taint on Moon Knight, a result of the Crescent Crusader's encounter with the possessed Hobgoblin. Moon Knight protests that he's been purged of that taint, and the Werewolf realizes what he now senses are the stains on Moon Knight's outfit left by the resin secreted by Glaze, one of the Hellbent. They join forces and head for Central Park.
On the way, Moon Knight contacts his assistant, Jean-Paul DuChamp, to ask about leads discovered by his Shadow Cabinet. Only one, Junior Birdman, has anything: the location of a recent sighting of Glaze, and her ally, Cubist. However, wanting to determine the connection between the Hellbent and his own destiny as Bloodline, Jean-Paul does not relay the lead to Moon Knight.
Moon Knight and the Werewolf search the park till they come upon a group of Hellbent, and a battle erupts, while the Manx, the savage agent of the Knights Templar, looks on from a treetop. The Hellbent gain the upper hand when Glaze encases the heroes within a sheath of her resin.
Downtown, meanwhile, Marc Spector's researchers and his PR Director, Donna Kraft, look into the business moves of PhalkonCorp. Simultaneously, at his rival's offices, Marlene Alraune grows uneasy with her increasing awareness of Seth Phalkon's intentions of taking over SpektorCorp.
Back in Central Park, Gambit's timely arrival releases Moon Knight and the Werewolf and the tide turns as the trio overcome their opponents. The conflict ends when Manx slaughters the remaining four Hellbent, then vanishes.
The three heroes each go their separate ways, Moon Knight returning to his headquarters, the Shadowkeep. There, Jean-Paul continues repairs on equipment that, unknown to them, is being damaged by a gremlin that now hides in Moon Knight's new custom-built automobile.

Comic Summary: In the White House, the president makes an emergency phone call to Russia, notifying him that the UN Security Council has activated the Magneto Protocols. A few minutes later, a man named Nick Fury awaits the actions of Forge, who is finishing the preparations to start the protocols, which he does. On Avalon, the actions of the world do not go unnoticed. Magneto flies to the middle of the barrier the humans have erected around Earth and realizes that the humans have made a mechanism which would never allow his powers to work while he was on Earth again, or so they think. Magneto concentrates, sending a swath of energy through the electromagnetic field, surrounding Earth, which effectively disrupts every electrical item on Earth. Cyclops informs the X-Men of the recent events and Xavier decides to take the opportunity that Magneto has given them to sneak attack him. After a lot of arguing, the X-Men reluctantly agree to allow Xavier to lead the battle, wearing his new battle armor that allows him to walk by using his mental powers to control it. After saying their goodbyes, the six-team members transport themselves to Avalon to begin their mission. After meeting Rusty and Skids and making their way to a control room, Xavier sends Quicksilver off to place a control disc in the computer’s main frame to allow Xavier control over the station. Xavier commands the station to teleport the Acolytes off of the station. Xavier seizes the opportunity to allow he and Jean to enter Magnus’ mind. Wolverine had attacked Magneto in order to save Quicksilver’s life, as he was about to be killed by his own father. Magneto wounded and kneeling on the floor, begins to use his powers to rip the adamantium from Logan’s body. Xavier, having had enough of Magnus’ killing, removes Magneto’s mind, leaving him exhausted and barely able to move. The X-Men are confused on what just happened until Xavier explains the horrific actions he just perpetrated on Magneto’s mind.

Comic Summary: Once upon a time, there were two entities… brothers, if you will… that were the Yin and Yang of each other. A giant battle ensued and their essence was spread throughout creating new universes. One universe that was created houses heroes such as Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman while the other universe is the home of Spider-Man, Captain America and Thor. These brothers forgot the other one existed and all was well. But that changed when they became aware of each other and no longer became unique. In order to “get rid” of the other, each brother selected champions from their respective universes to compete in a series of challenges. The loser would no longer cease to exist, meaning an entire universe will disappear. It becomes a fight for survival and a right to live. What results is something even more spectacular and the birth of a new universe… the Amalgam Universe. It becomes even more complicated when this universe's most powerful being—Doctor Strangefate—tries to make sure that his world is the only universe that survives.

Comic Summary: "Catastrophe on 34th St." - While Beast and Iceman work out in the Danger room, they bemoan the lack of Christmas spirit they feel. The session is interrupted by a news report of a creature abducting street corner santas in New York City, and the two head to town. Beast and Iceman engage the fiery monster, who complains of a ruined Christmas. The two X-Men subdue the creature, then recognize him as Metoxo the Lava Man, whom they encountered during their early years as X-Men.
Many Decembers before, Metoxo, who dwelt miles below the surface, rampaged through the city because a vital steam shaft had been plugged by a human construction project. Beast and Iceman had calmed him down, explaining the deed was not malicious, just humans getting by. They also explained the concept of Christmas.
Now, Metoxo is frustrated by his children's disillusionment with the holiday. As a solution, Beast and Iceman visit Metoxo's family, playing Santa and an elf, and bring presents and joy to them, rediscovering their own Christmas spirit in the process.

In the cemetery, the blind man does not know who he is, or why he has come to this particular grave at this moment. He doesn't know the burly police officer with the wild story who has approached him. Or the strangely intense man who sits in the rear seat of the patrol car, his eyes flashing green.

Comic Summary: Madripoor 1941: A fledgling Captain America comes to the aid of a Russian, who is being attacked by Hand Ninjas. Both of the men are rescued by the help of a newcomer who makes the island his home and hates the Hand – Logan. After they win the battle, Logan takes them to the bar Seraph’s, where he tags Baron von Strucker and another Nazi, almost starting a fight. The Russian, Ivan Petrovitch tells them that the Nazis and the Hand are planning an alliance and that they have kidnapped a child in his charge – Natasha Romanoff. A little later, the three men attack the Nazi limousine where Natasha is being held. One Nazi intends to kill the girl, rather than give her up. However, Logan throws himself between Natasha and the gun, seemingly sacrificing his life to save her. Ivan and Cap decide to take Natasha to the American consulate instead of following Logan’s plan. Unfortunately, the consul is working with the Nazis and sells them out. In the Hand hideout, they learn that the Hand intends to make Natasha a master assassin, her first test being the murder of her would-be-rescuers. Fortunately, they are all rescued again by a very much alive Logan, who takes them to a getaway plane. The present: The Black Widow went to Madripoor as a favor to Nick Fury to learn everything about a meeting between Fenris (Strucker’s children) and Tsurabaya, the new leader of the Hand. She ends up in a trap by the Hand, but is rescued by Wolverine, Psylocke and Jubilee. Later, they question the underworld and learn that the meeting between Fenris and Tsurabaya is to take place on a certain yacht. They infiltrate the yacht and take out the gangsters, but find out they are impostors: the real meeting took place somewhere else in the meantime.

Comic Summary: The newly minted Hellions and New Mutants get into an argument outside, which quickly escalates into a fight. At the same time, Dani ridicules Emma for the codenames and squad name choices she made, which would just feed Julian’s ego. Rahne gets aggressive when she believes Emma is pressuring Dani into leaving, and Scott intervenes, telling Dani and Rahne to learn to trust Emma. He then notices the kids fighting outside, and puts an end to that as well. He tells them that they just volunteered to be the first teams to participate in the new Field Day exercises. After the kids and Scott disband, Dani admits that she needs Emma’s help to find the final member of her squad: Kevin Ford. In the garage, Josh and Rahne kiss, and soon they talk about Josh being a New Mutant, just like Rahne was all those years ago. Due to a reminder that she is a teacher, and should act like one, Rahne decides that they should break up, much to Josh’s dismay. Emma and Dani use Cerebra to track Kevin down, and eventually find him working in a junkyard in Staten Island. Dani tries to get him to come back to the school, but Kevin really doesn’t want to hear it from her. Emma decides to give it a try, and manages to convince him to come back to Xavier’s, though Dani has some concerns that Kevin may have been using his powers on animals. When they arrive back at the school, Kevin agrees to join Dani’s squad, mainly because of Laurie. Laurie and Sofia are happy to have Kevin back, though there is some animosity between Kevin and Josh. Dani asks Kevin for a suggestion for what his codename should be, and he decides on Wither. The leadership of the squad is the next issue to be discussed, and though Dani chose David, he declines, and Sofia takes the job. The first Field Day exercise arrives, and they are told that they must find an object somewhere in the grounds. Sofia sends Nori to search the grounds with her super-speed, while Cessily spies on the teachers and learns that it is located in the hedge maze. She is found out by the teachers, though, and eliminated from the exercise. She has Jay back her up, though, and he returns to the rest of the Hellions with the information. Right about then, Nori also arrives with the information, and they head off to the hedge maze. Unfortunately, they find Santo blocking the way, and he tells them that the rest of the Hellions have already gotten into the maze, and the New Mutants lose.

Comic Summary: David’s younger sister, Kim, arrives at Xavier’s to visit her brother. David first introduces Kim to the rest of his New Mutants squad, and next gives her a tour around the school and its many classes. Kim is very impressed and a little jealous as well, because she thinks that her school is boring compared to Xavier’s. Meanwhile, weird things are happening around the Institute. It begins with Icarus. While preparing for gym, his picture of his lost love Julia starts to crack, and he didn’t even touch it! He freaks out and sulks about it. Surge notices that and talks to him, but they only end up in an argument that Jay once tried to kill himself because he thought he had lost everything. Noriko, upset hearing that, knows that isn’t true, because Jay still has a family that loves him, and runs away to her room. There, she tries to contact her parents again and phones them, but her father doesn’t believe that it’s really Noriko calling them and hangs up on her. Noriko gets even more upset and stays in the room. After a while, Jay enters to apologize, and they both find Noriko’s room trashed! But Nori didn’t trash it, and neither did her roommate. At the lab, Wither and Wall Flower find a beaker smashed, and later a threatening message gets written on the blackboard, to “leave now.” Some time later, the New Mutants begin their Danger Room session and Kim gets to watch. Some of the squad members panic, but David suspects that it’s all just a prank of Julians. After a successful training session, Noriko doesn’t feel well after an overload of her powers. Dani goes to check on her and Kim has to stay behind in the observation deck. A ghost appears next to her and, after feeling that Kim is different, it warns Kim to get out of the place while she can and then disappears. Overjoyed, Kim rushes to Dani and the New Mutants, telling them that she has just found out that she is a mutant!

The New Mutants are still ignoring Josh, which upsets Noriko. Laurie is still angry at Josh and doesn’t want to go to the prom, and plans to skip it. David doesn’t want to hear anything of that, and offers to Laurie that she goes with him, and she accepts. Kevin tries to ask Laurie too, but is too late. Julian also tries to convince Sofia to go to the dance with him, but she ignores his attempts. Jay tries to invite Dust, but she doesn’t feel good about the dance, so she puts the offer down. Later, Noriko talks to Josh, and he informs her about the future David saw in which they were married, and explains that’s why he ignores her. At the dance, Julian is present with the Stepford Cuckoos as his dates, but when he sees Sofia, he ignores them and she agrees to one dance. During the dance, they talk and Julian invites her to spend the summer with him in his house in California, since his parents will be away for the season. Also at the dance, Laurie’s mother has shown up to help chaperone, and wanted to see her daughter again. Shan wants to go find Rahne and convince her to come back, but Dani is still mad at her, and has already made a few calls to help find a new mentor for the Alpha Squadron and the Paragons. Magma has already answered the call, and is present at the dance. However, when Amara goes to talk to Josh about the time when he used his powers to heal her, Laurie suspects that Josh is flirting with her and gets jealous. She uses her powers on David and makes him kiss her. Josh notices and almost starts a fight, but when David realizes what he has done, he runs away. The next day, the X-Men get an invitation from the Avengers for a meeting.

Comic Summary: The Juggernaut resists someone trying to invade his mind, and threatens to come looking for them, while Professor Xavier dreams about his sister, Cassandra Nova, who brings up some of the past failings in Xavier’s life, notably the tragic life Xavier’s son, Legion had. The next day, Xavier visits his childhood friend, Carter Ryking, in the Ryking secure Psychiatric Facility, hoping that by reading some of Carter’s memories, it will restore some of his own. Carter, whose mental stability is not quite right, agrees, and Xavier revisits his childhood, when both he and Carter were “patients” of Dr. Milbury, and for the first time, Xavier sees the red mark on Dr. Milbury’s forehead. Xavier recalls the four powerful people at Alamogordo - his father, Kurt Marko, Irene Adler and Dr. Milbury. Returning to his car, Xavier becomes aware of someone watching him - a sniper - and uses his powers to cause a flock of pigeons to fly around the sniper, and allowing Xavier to make his getaway. Later, Carter is about to be given an injection, but seemingly dies. Xavier pours over old photographs, and recalls a time where he was examining Jean Grey’s new powers and she said some very poignant words to him. His mind races to when Bishop recently killed him, and feels that once again he is being watched - indeed, some assassins are outside his motel room, but they are then confronted by…Gambit! Meanwhile, at the Hellfire Club, Sunspot is disappointed with Sebastian Shaw about the mysterious device that recently killed two Hellfire Club staff members. Shaw explains the history of the device, and Sunspot puts him on a tight leash, before telling the other members of the Inner Circle that there will soon be a vacant position within the Inner Circle.

Comic Summary: Gambit attacks the assassins who were trying to get at Xavier, and during the battle, Xavier is reunited with Gambit, though he isn’t sure who he is, he delves into Gambit’s mind, and watches a scene play out during which Xavier disbanded the X-Men, and afterwards Gambit confronted him about it. In the present, Gambit explains that he came to find Xavier after he heard someone was paying to have Xavier killed, along with a list of three others - Sebastian Shaw, Cain Marko and Carter Ryking. This worries Xavier, as Carter is powerless. They travel to the Ryking Facility where Carter is institutionalized, only to learn that Carter died from a spontaneous rupturing of every blood cell in the brain. While there, they are spotted by Sebastian Shaw, who begins to follow them. Gambit accompanies Xavier on the journey to Alamogordo, as that is the place that everyone on the list, except Shaw, has in common. Xavier reveals that he intended to return to Alamogordo years ago, but something always got in the way. His mind flashes back to when he was a child, and his mother wanted to leave Alamogordo, but an abusive Kurt Marko wouldn’t let her. After stopping for a break during the long car-ride, the two men discuss various matters, and Xavier’s mind slips again, to a distorted scenario where he is commanding soldiers in war - the soldiers of course being the X-Men, whom he practically orders to their deaths. He is confronted by this militaristic version of himself, who explains that he is a potentiality. In reality, Gambit and Xavier are attacked by the assassin again. Gambit is taken down quickly, but Xavier manages to stumble away, only to fall over and wake up in his mind again, this time, as a child, with Mr. Sinister looming over him, scalpel in hand.

The Surfer tries to defend himself, but eventually the infected overpower him. During the devastating battle, some of the infected die and Wolverine loses an arm. Still, the Hulk feeds on the Surfer’s head and some others eat the remains of his body, but there isn’t enough for everyone. The ones that did get to eat from the Surfer notice that his cosmic powers have now flown into their bodies. They decide to test them out on the infected who don’t have the special powers, and eat most of them. A few moments later, Galactus arrives! He explains he wants to devour the entire planet, but first wants to know what happened to his missing herald. The infected explain that they ate him, and are still hungry. They start to attack Galactus. At the same time, the Wasp’s head has helped the uninfected Black Panther escape from Giant-Man’s torment lab. As he scouts the destroyed city, he suddenly is asked where Magneto is. T’Challa isn’t aware of what happened to the now deceased mutant leader, but finds himself surrounded by none other than… the Acolytes!

Comic Summary: With the Omega Codes retrieved from the Citadel, U.S.Agent leads an army of Earth’s heroes, as well as alien prisoners, on an assault on the processing center in space. On Hala, the Avengers Infinity squad find themselves jailed, while the Supreme Intelligence is left free to carry out his nefarious plan. In the end, it is Tigra who is able to escape her bonds and free the others. Quasar quantum-jumps everyone back to Selandiar, where Moondragon telepathically shows the council what they have learned. The council is in disbelief, however, until Cerise sends a video to the council, showing Earth’s heroes fighting the Ruul and what the Ruul/Kree really did to Earth. The council sees that Ego has terraformed over half the Earth. The Supreme Intelligence telepathically appears and tells the council that he has staged the return of the Kree and is leading an army of Kree, who have already retaken Hala and a score of other former Kree worlds. The terrified council, who was drastically weakened by Ego, does not know what to do. Quasar and the others journey to the processing center to help the heroes. In Florida, the Scarlet Witch leads a group of sorcerers against Ego, but they fail. Gambit reaches Reed Richards and gives him the data to compress Ego. The process works, but Ronan the Accuser arrives with an army of Kree. Quasar teleports all the heroes in the processing center to Earth and a massive battle begins. Reed begins to compress Ego into the Surfer, but the Surfer cannot contain him and is left near death. Quasar volunteers to take the Surfer’s place. Ronan goes after Quasar, but U.S.Agent interferes, which ensues into a heated battle. Ronan wins, but is too late to stop Quasar. With his power gone, Ronan is easily beaten and arrested by U.S.Agent. Despondently, Quasar departs to space to serve his exile once more. A week later, after clean up is almost done, the Avengers try to congratulate U.S.Agent on his leadership, but the man refuses to accept the thanks and is angry that Maximum Security even occurred in the first place. However, when Mowat insults the Avengers, U.S.Agent puts him in his place to the other man’s shock.

The Six can’t believe to see Magneto still alive, who confirms and explains that the rest of the X-Men are alive as well and are scattered all over the four courners of the world, preparing to defend the world against Xavier’s attack. Magneto takes Alex and Captain America with him and they plan their strategies. When Apocalypse and his Four Horsemen show up, the Six see them as enemies. Alex calms his friends down, explaining they are the good guys. When they fought them the last time, they were under the mind control of Xavier and the Shadow King. Apocalypse explains that Xavier plans to take over every mind of the United States government and bring fear to everyone, using a simulacrum of Galactus. The heroes and their allies go to New York, where “Galactus” has already landed and attacks. They draw his attention and Galactus brings out help in the form of his “Heralds,” Drax, the Silver Surfer and Nova. They are easily defeated, however, because they are not the real one’s. The heroes combine their powers against Galactus, who… melts! After their victory, Xavier and Mr. Sinister show up.

She is stopped by Gambit, who, after a short fight with her, calms Bloodstorm down. She explains how it all came to this. It all began earlier in the night, when the Six were summoned up by Henry Peter Gyrich, who asked them for help. At the Vault, there was a class Alpha emergency. Some thieves had stolen a valuable box. Bloodstorm smelled something familiar and told Gyrich and the Six that she would retrieve the box alone. She wandered off, searching, until she was found by Gambit. Gambit informs Bloodstorm that Gyrich told them a Vault security guard damaged the thieves transport vehicle, which crashed in a nearby sewer tunnel. Bloodstorm knocks Gambit down, thanking him for the info and disappears. Meanwhile, in the sewers, the team called the Marauders are trying to get themselves and the stolen box into safety and to their boss.

The Marauders fight for their lives against the shadow creatures, but are helped by Bloodstorm, who strikes the Marauders down as well, ordering them to leave now. The Marauders won’t listen to reason, so Bloodstorm prepares to kill them. Bloodstorm is stopped by Gambit and the Marauders leave. Gambit, realizing that Bloodstorm’s actions are made because of the box, makes it float away in the sewer water. Bloodstorm calms down and thanks Gambit for his help. Gambit asks who was inside the box. Bloodstorm doesn’t understand that Gambit didn’t hear his voice his mind, but she confirms that her Dark Lord lives again. Dracula walks amongst mankind once more.

They want to make Gambit pay for his past sins against them and engulf he and Bloodstorm in a bright, white light. Afterwards, a vagabond finds the box and opens it. Dracula arises, and he hungers!

But, before they can cross the border, they are attacked by the Avengers. The leader of the Avengers, the Black Widow, tells the Six to turn back quick, or they’ll fight them. The Avengers, and especially the Widow, all seem to have a grudge towards Captain America, who left them when they needed him most. The Avengers claim that they also almost died because of him. Bloodstorm isn’t interested, as she wants to get Havok back, so the two super-teams begin to fight. Cap can’t believe that this is happening. Meanwhile, James Hudson and the Professor arrive and want to bring Wolverine back into the Program, so the Professor sends his Super-Soldiers out in search of Logan. He, Alex and Jean have barely enough strength to defeat one Soldier and wonder how they could defeat a platoon of them. Havok and the others make it to the border, but find both the Six and the Avengers, defeated! Only an exhausted Captain America still stands. Havok asks Cap what happened, but he only mumbles things. Wolverine smells something; they’ve got company. He snikts his claws open and the Professor, the Super-Soldiers and Hudson arrive on the scene. Hudson tells Logan that fighting isn’t such a good idea. It’s over.

Comic Summary: The evil Mys-Tech corporation has been a major factor in most of the Marvel UK books. They've been the primary villains in the Dark Angel and Motorhead books, and they are the Warheads' employers. Death's Head II's book has been the exception, but he did come across the Warheads in their series. Even the Knights of Pendragons, who primarily deal with the Bane, haven't avoided repeated run-ins with Mys-Tech in their second series. So it's only natural that a crossover involving all of the Marvel UK titles be all about Mys-Tech.
