Written by J. M. DeMatteis and illustrated by Alan Kupperberg, with inks by Mike Gustovich and colors by Bob Sharen, this 1985 Marvel UK issue sees Bobby Drake sent to retrieve his daughter Mirage—disguised as Marge Smith—across time. The cover by Mike Zeck and John Beatty captures the eerie tension of a father and daughter caught between realities.
In the aftermath of the Wasp’s apparent death, the heroes launch a furious assault on the villains’ stronghold, overwhelming them and bringing back a wounded She-Hulk. Just as they regroup, they’re stunned to learn the Wasp survived—her healing tied to the mysterious Zsaji. When Spider-Man notices Thor’s costume restored, he’s led to a strange machine that reshapes his gear into a sleek, black suit. As the heroes confront the growing threat of Galactus consuming Battleworld, Xavier’s urgent warning echoes across the battlefield.
In "Quicksand!", Iceman is pulled into the eerie presence of Oblivion, where his very existence flickers at the edge of oblivion. Sent on a desperate mission through time, he must track down his long-lost daughter Mirage—hidden in the past as Marge Smith—only to face her resistance and the weight of a fractured legacy.
In "null," Northstar brings Aurora to a psychologist to confront her fractured identity, then seeks help from his friend Raymonde Belmonde at her restaurant—only to find it under threat from the ruthless crime lord Deadly Ernest. When Ernest kills Belmonde and abducts Aurora, Northstar is forced to hide his powers from Belmonde’s daughter Danielle while vowing retribution. Meanwhile, Delphine Courtney extends an unexpected invitation to Alec Thorne, drawing him into a mysterious new endeavor.
