Marvel Exklusiv #9

In the heart of Central Park, a mysterious new structure appears without warning, drawing the attention of Spider-Man through his heightened senses. As heroes like him investigate, each one vanishes into thin air—leaving behind only silence and a growing mystery.

In "Der Krieg beginnt," Helden und Schurken werden auf den fremden Planeten Battleworld versetzt, wo der Beyonder ihnen ein tödliches Spiel vorschlägt: ihre Feinde besiegen, um ihre größten Wünsche zu erfüllen. Mit Magneto als gemeinsamem Ziel für die Helden und Doom, der versucht, die Schurken von den Plänen des Beyonder zu überzeugen, entbrennt ein Konflikt, der alle auf eine tödliche Prüfung führt.

In "Kriegsgefangene!", the heroes and villains clash in the opening battle of Secret War, leaving the villains captured. While the heroes celebrate their victory, Doom infiltrates the enemy base and revives Ultron to serve his ends. When the remaining villains return, they’re forced to accept Doom as their new leader—reluctantly. Meanwhile, the heroes establish their own stronghold, where Magneto secretly meets the Wasp, and the Thing reclaims his human form as Ben Grimm.

In "Kampf und Krise!", the Hulk grapples with a quiet fear that his mind is slipping, while Spider-Man stumbles upon a shocking secret among the X-Men—only to be silenced by Xavier’s hand. With Doom seeking new allies as his powers fade, and Thor awakening the Enchantress for a mysterious reunion, the dawn brings a sudden, overwhelming assault on the heroes’ stronghold.

In "Den Tod vor Augen!", a desperate band of heroes fights to survive after their base is destroyed and a mountain range is summoned against them by Molecule Man. With Thor and the Enchantress returning to a battlefield of triumphs and peril, the X-Men form an uneasy alliance with Magneto, while the Fackel and Captain Marvel use Iron Man’s tech to blast free from beneath the crushing rock—only to find refuge in a hidden village where a mysterious woman tends their wounds… and where the gaze of Galactus never wavers.

In "Vier Mächte streiten!", as Galactus' ship descends upon Earth, rival factions scramble to survive—Wrecking Crew targets Molecule Man and Volcana, Enchantress attempts to sway Doom, and Mr. Fantastic’s and Magneto’s gambit to attract Galactus’ attention backfires. Amid the chaos, the X-Men arrive to restore order, leaving Colossus gravely injured and connected to the healer Zsaji, while Doom slips aboard the alien vessel to search its depths.

In "Der Tod ruft...", Galactus begins assembling his equipment as chaos unfolds across the planet. Wasp crashes her ship into a swamp, landing beside a mysterious reptile, while Dr. Doom dispatches Klaw to deliver a message to a gathering of villains. Xavier, sensing Doom’s scheme, sends half the X-Men to infiltrate the enemy ranks—Cyclops, Wolverine, and Rogue confront Doom’s forces, with Wolverine severely injuring the Molecule Man. As Cyclops triggers a chain reaction of volcanic eruptions, a new team of antagonists emerges, setting the stage for a storm of conflict.

In "Berserker!", the heroes face a brutal ambush when the Wrecker and his allies unleash the body of the fallen Wasp upon them, igniting a chain of chaos. As Magneto and the X-Men clash with the villains and Galactus forcibly eject Doom from his ship, She-Hulk ventures alone into Doombase seeking vengeance—only to be overwhelmed. With Battleworld once again under threat, the X-Men vow to keep watch over the cosmic entity’s next move.

In "Invasion!" from Marvel Exklusiv #9 (1998), the heroes storm a villain stronghold, defeating their foes and capturing most of them. Returning to base with a wounded She-Hulk, they're stunned to find Wasp alive—revived by Zsaji. When Spider-Man notices Thor's suit restored, he's led to a machine that transforms him, cloaking him in a new, mysterious costume. As Xavier warns them that Galactus has begun devouring Battleworld, the team faces a new threat from beyond.

In "Angriff auf Galactus!", the X-Men reunite with other heroes for a desperate stand as Galactus prepares to consume Battleworld. With Spider-Man adjusting to his new black suit and Dr. Doom making a bold move to rescue Klaw, the mighty cosmic entity begins devouring his own ship—straining to maintain the power needed to fulfill his final act.

In "Tod dem Beyonder!", Dr. Doom harnesses stolen energy from Galactus’s ship using bizarre lenses forged from Klaw’s body, growing powerful enough to challenge the Beyonder himself. As Battleworld crumbles around them, the heroes are stunned when Doom suddenly appears, declaring the Beyonder defeated and promising peace—though the true cost of his victory remains unknown.

In "...Staub zu Staub!", Doom wields the power of the Beyonder as he and a cadre of villains relocate to a detached sector of Battleworld, where Owen dispatches them into space to return to Earth. A mysterious energy strikes both Hulk and Spider-Woman, triggering a chain reaction that transfers the power to Klaw. When Doom summons the heroes to his new fortress and offers to grant their deepest wishes, they refuse—only to realize too late that his influence has become too dangerous to ignore.

In "...Nichts zu befürchten...", the aftermath of a cosmic war leaves Earth reshaped and its heroes gone—only to return transformed. With Doom struggling to control the Beyonders' power and villains fracturing under tension, Klaw's manipulation sparks a resurrection that alters everything. When the heroes return, their lives and identities are irrevocably changed, from Spider-Man's new black suit to Dr. Connors freed from his reptilian form, while old bonds and new alliances begin to form.
