At this latest revelation, Kitty Pryde and Goombella stared in shock. "Vandal Savage?" Kitty exclaimed, in confusion. "But ... I thought he was dead."
Goombella nodded. "When we returned to the Rogue Watcher's Moonbase, we did try to find where he ended up after our final showdown with him. But we could have been totally mistaken, y'know? That body our instruments found back in the prehistoric past could have been, like, his other world counterpart or something."
"But they DID trace him there... and that's where we lost track of him." Kitty added.
Mary Jane approached, followed by Spider-Girl and a few of the Spider-Men. "Who is this Vandal Savage?" Mary Jane asked.
Franziska von Karma approached. "I have had the displeasure of meeting him once, in another Traitor Game. He is an arrogant man who believes himself superior merely because some meteor extended his lifespan."
Kitty Pryde turned to Mary Jane. "It's a long story. He's a man from prehistoric times who became immortal because he was exposed to strange radiation from a meteor. Or something. He's used his long life as an excuse to be a villain, a bully, and a power-grabber. In short...."

"VANDAL SAVAGE IS A JERK!"

"He did some really gnarly stuff with the Limbo Legion ... Immortus' Limbo Legion, not that weak one that my evil double is in charge of." Goombella added. "It's a really long story .... waaaay too long to tell now. If we were to tell the story from when it began, we'd have to, like, take up 450 or more pages cause if you put together the ninth Traitor Game, the twentieth, and all those Limbo Legion backups, that's how long it'd be. And if we talk about Immortus, we'd totally have to start earlier, with my first Traitor Game."
"It's a long and really gnarly story. But at the end, everyone fought against him in Immortus' Limbo after he caused the place to go totally bonkers. We all got some good hits in... Captain America, Kitty, Ms. Marvel, Rogue, Thorpool, even Bob." Goombella said. "In the end, our attacks pushed him through a space/time portal that would leave him stranded who-knows-where, and that was, like, the last most of us saw of him. Until now, anyway."
Mary Jane tried to take all this in. She tried to think of a comparable villain on her world. "I don't know if we have anyone like him on our world. Until now, I've been facing the usual villains P - Spider-Man would face. Immortal megalomaniacs are more like people the Avengers would fight."
Spider-Girl stared at Mary Jane. Indeed, this was an alternate world version of her mother. This meant that any conversation between them at all was likely to be ... awkward, at best.
"I was there." Spider-Girl said. "Not because I wanted to. I was dragged into that Limbo by that time distortion, and had to fight Savage and all those other enemies. It looks like we haven't seen the last of him."
Kitty and Goombella just sighed.
Franziska von Karma scowled. "An egotistical foolhardy foolish fool such as him is bound to make a few mistakes. He will pay the penalty for his crimes one day."
Elsewhere, Shannon Ford and Terry Franklin had observed the scene from afar. Shannon took some notes, to forward to her superiors. If indeed Vandal Savage was on the loose, as Destiny had predicted, then the authorities needed to be informed.
