The Champions Classic #2

In Los Angeles, the Champions—Hercules, Black Widow, Angel, Iceman, Ghost Rider, and Black Goliath—rally to stop Stilt-Man’s rampage, driving him off before Black Goliath tracks him down and defeats him. Just as the dust settles, the Stranger appears, revealing that the mysterious box they’ve uncovered is the Null-Life Bomb, now rapidly expanding. Without hesitation, he vanishes inside it, teleporting the team to another realm—where they’re immediately set upon by Kamo Tharnn and his monstrous Beast-Men.

In "The Doom That Went On Forever!", the Champions—Hercules, Black Widow, Angel, Iceman, Ghost Rider, Black Goliath, Darkstar, and the Stranger—race against an endless countdown as the Null-Life Bomb threatens to consume all existence. With time unraveling and the fate of reality hanging in the balance, Darkstar must journey back to Earth to retrieve the Runestaff, a key long hidden by Hercules, while the Stranger works to contain the bomb’s growing reach.

In "The Creature Called...Swarm!", the Champions' headquarters turns against them when Hercules and Iceman are ambushed by its automated defenses. Meanwhile, Ghost Rider, Black Widow, and Darkstar face a terrifying new threat as the enigmatic Swarm—once a man, now something far more sinister—unleashes chaos across the compound.

In "A World For the Winning!", Dr. Doom’s neuro-canisters have paralyzed the planet, silencing all resistance—except for the one man he finds amusing enough to free: Magneto. With Earth under his control and the Avengers trapped in helpless stillness, Magneto attempts a daring rescue, managing only to free the Beast from the gas. Now, with the tide of power shifted and the first crack in Doom’s dominion appearing, the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

In "Whatever Happened To the Iceman?", Peter Parker arrives in California to report on the collapse of the Champions, only to find Angel still guarding the crumbling Champion's Tower. With the team disbanded and shadows of the past stirring, Spidey and Angel face a dangerous threat—Rampage, using the Iceman as a weapon, in a confrontation that tests old alliances and unresolved tensions.
