In "God," the Silver Surfer crashes into Dr. Strange’s sanctum with a dire warning: Thanos, wielding the Infinity Gauntlet and guided by Mephisto’s whispers, has begun testing his power. With Death still unmoved by his love, Thanos unleashes a devastating act—erasing half of all life across the universe. As Earth’s heroes scramble to comprehend the cosmic catastrophe, the survivors must confront the terrifying reality of a god with unchecked power.

In "From Bad to Worse," the universe reels from Thanos’s devastating snap, leaving half of all life gone and Earth’s heroes scrambling to respond. With the Kree and Skrull empires reigniting their war and Odin summoning the gods, Adam Warlock steps forward to lead Earth’s defense—only for Thanos to pull Starfox into his citadel for a chilling reunion. As the Avengers rally and Dr. Doom seeks answers in Strange’s sanctum, the cosmic threat escalates, sending shockwaves through the planet and testing every hero’s resolve.

In "Preparations for War," Fury learns Earth is hurtling toward destruction after a cosmic wave destabilizes its orbit. As chaos spreads, Adam Warlock unites Earth's heroes with cosmic allies—including a reluctant Dr. Doom—while confronting Thanos, who has crafted a new ideal companion, Terraxia, in defiance of Death. With the fate of the planet hanging in the balance, Warlock’s plan sets the stage for an epic confrontation across the stars.

In "Cosmic Battle on the Edge of the Universe," Thanos, spurred by Mephisto’s twisted logic, tempers his might for a so-called fair fight against Earth’s mightiest heroes, led by Captain America. As the heroes fall one by one, the Silver Surfer, guided by Warlock’s cryptic warning, makes a desperate bid to seize the Infinity Gauntlet—only to narrowly miss, revealing the true scale of the trap.

In the wake of reality’s unraveling, Thanos confronts the universe’s mightiest cosmic forces—only to defeat them all, even Eternity himself, becoming the embodiment of eternity in the process. Left lifeless, his body abandoned, Nebula seizes the Infinity Gauntlet to claim her long-overdue vengeance. Pulled from the void by Dr. Strange, Thanos is drawn to Earth, where Warlock calls on him to stand against Nebula’s new dominion.

In the climactic chapter of *Infinity Gauntlet*, Nebula confronts Thanos and Earth's heroes, using a desperate time rewind to reset the past. After overcoming the cosmic pantheon, Adam Warlock secretly infiltrates the Soul Gem and seizes the Infinity Gauntlet in a final, swift move. With the gauntlet now in his hands, Warlock chooses to bear its power, sending most of the heroes home—leaving only Gamora and Pip behind. Two months later, Warlock and his companions discover Thanos living quietly as a farmer, seemingly at peace.
