The story explores how different people wield the Uni-Power's immense abilities, from a New York cop to a young boy, as they face threats that require the combined might of all the Universal Heroes. Written by various creators, this volume ties into Marvel's cosmic mythology while spotlighting the unique challenges of temporary godhood.
In "Secrets and Origins," Captain Universe, grappling with fading memories and unstable powers, teams up with Bruce Banner to track down the one scientist who might hold the key to the Uni-Power’s true nature. When their search leads them to Wiles, the mission turns deadly as AIM’s forces unleash robotic enforcers to seize the power for themselves—resulting in tragedy and a wrongful arrest that forces Banner to reach out to Matt Murdock.
In "Sensory Overload," Matt—once blind—gains the Captain Universe powers and suddenly experiences the world in vivid detail, overwhelming his senses and his mind. As he struggles to adapt, he must confront AIM and aid a dying cosmic entity, all while facing the painful choice of what it truly means to see.
In "Double Threat," a runaway named X-23 is possessed by the Uni-Power as A.I.M. hunts for its secrets—only to find herself reluctantly allied with Scorpion, who has his own agenda. As the two navigate a dangerous mission to stop the data theft, their conflicting loyalties threaten to unravel their uneasy partnership before the truth is uncovered.
In "Empowered," Gladiator arrives on Earth with a demand: the uni-power must be handed over to him so he can deliver it to the Shi'ar empire. When Captain Universe takes hold of Invisible Woman, the two clash in a battle of wills and strength. As a deadly tsunami threatens, Sue and Gladiator must unite their powers to stop the disaster—leading the uni-power to choose a new path, one that takes it beyond Earth.
In "Insatiable," Gladiator and the Surfer confront an alien usurper who has seized the uni-power for his own dark ends. When the Surfer transfers the power to Gabriel Vargas, a wheelchair-bound man with a fierce will, the fate of the universe hangs in the balance.
