"2020: THE DEATH OF MS. MARVEL" (Part 4 of 4)
Deep in the labs beneath Avengers Tower, Mystique reveals the deadly truth to Kamala. Turns out, there is no Legacy Cure, as that was all Mystique's usual sweet-talk. The reality is that the modified Legacy Virus inside Kamala will escape into the world the moment she dies (which Mystique's about to do), and the entire team-up was designed solely to put her dead-center in the one place where she will rack up the greatest kill-count. Yes, the irony is not lost on Kamala, and now even her own body is beginning to feel the burn as her healing factor starts to fail, allowing the Legacy to stir itself awake.

It's the final battle! Shapeshifter vs. shapeshifter - Ms. Marvel and Mystique fighting for all the chips. Bodies will be twisting, turning, and morphing every which way, but no matter who wins, everybody on Earth loses... unless Kamala makes the ultimate sacrifice. Truly, this is what every superhero has to do sooner or later, but why did it have to be so soon? Time to face destiny...

A mysterious Assassin known as The Crimson Mark has surfaced in a small town in Michigan, but she no longer goes by that codename – nor has any knowledge of working for HYDRA! Instead her name is Rebecca Holt, and she is a High School teacher – who is heavily pregnant! When Bucky recognises Holt from a HYDRA Mission that they shared when he was brainwashed when a high school festival accidentally goes viral online, they head to Michigan – to uncover the secrets that are not just limited to Holt, but to the entire school that she works at. Steve decides to go undercover as a Physical Education teacher to help, and ends up making friends with a social outcast Miles Taylor, who has something different to the rest of the teenagers that is keeping him out of the loop – an X-Gene! And it turns out that the X-Gene might be the key that saves him from a mysterious brainwashing cult called The Five, that have plans far beyond just being a minor HYDRA offshoot.

Plot by EXCITER

“HIGH DEDUCTIBLE”
With She-Hulk's focus primarily on her legal practice and the big appeal for Perry Mason's soul, it's easy to overlook her other business venture - the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation! That is, until one of her contracted performers makes headlines... "Gator" Grant, as his name implies, is an anthropomorphic reptile with superhuman strength. This unique condition made him a great UCWF competitor, but also a highly desirable acquisition for mega-insurance company GEICO, who wants the GEICO Gecko on the newly formed Super Team® (see CORPORATE AVENGERS #1)! Sure, Grant could probably master a cockney accent in a few weeks, but GEICO wants more... With great greed, they want their Gecko to outshine the other corporate heroes - and they turn to Shulkie's arch-enemies, Power Broker Inc., to "insure" that he does! (Get it? Insure?). But when PBI's Professor Urkel provides enhancements that go haywire and cause a psychotic break, it's up to She-Hulk to save her friend and save New York from a reptile that gets 15% more destructive every 15 minutes! And if she does well, General Mills might just be looking for a Jolly Green Giant(ess) to help sell their frozen vegetables (yeah, right!).

You've seen us in epic rap battles. You've seen us mashed up on t-shirts. You've even seen us drawn together by Rob Liefeld (though you didn't see our feet, obvs). But now the wait is finally over, and at long last you get to see us throw down on the printed page! Oh yeah, its Deadpool versus Boba Fett!
As you know, the new leader of tropical San Diablo is Kristoff Vernard (Lil' Doom), and he appointed my faction of Death-Denying Thunderbolts as the nation's official protectors! So when the Slave I violates San Diablo's sovereign air space and lands somewhere in the thick jungle canopy, it's up to me, Ghost, Power Princess, Doppleganger and Starscream to bring its pilot in for questioning! But as Boba's buddy Ackbar might say, IT'S A TRAP! Fett's here to apprehend one or more members of my team (not sure who), freeze 'em in carbonite, and bring 'em back alive to whomever issued the bounty. But he only needs his bounties alive - the rest are disposable! He's going all Predator on us in the sweltering jungle, but two can play that game! It's getting hot in here, so kill off all your foes! (I am. Getting so hot. I'm gonna kill my foes off!).
Meanwhile, Juggernaut's S.H.I.E.L.D.-sponsored team, the Unstoppable Thunderbolts, are tasked with apprehending a dangerous superhuman who's been attacking Silicon Valley - and to do so, they'll have to team up with... the Google Android? Wait, big companies have their own heroes that crossover to my books now? (See CORPORATE AVENGERS #1). Talk about a shameless PR move to increase sales! (Ohhh meta-textual!).

“WHERE NO ONE HAS HAILED BEFORE”
The People's Republic of Hydra has been derisively nicknamed "Little America" by its detractors around the world. Those detractors fault both nations for their interventionist foreign policies, for hoarding beneficial technology, and for supporting regime change in order to prop up puppet leaders in other regions. This comparison irks Hydra Commander, who hates competition and wants to rule the one nation that is indisputably the planet's greatest super power! But to do so, HYDRA must first win the space race!
America is poised to project its influence on a universal scale with the launch of the U.S.S. Excelsior, its first Kirby Class intergalactic starship, but the PRH is not to be outdone... Captained by the infamous Kraken, Daniel Whitehall, the PRH launches its own starship - the R.O.H.S. Ultimatum! And it's hailing HYDRA where no one has hailed before!
Eager to test its impressive armaments and carve a reputation for itself in the cosmos, the Ultimatum opens fire on the nearest alien ship, which it claims has trespassed upon sovereign HYRDA space - Skuttlebutt, the ship of Beta Ray Bill! Now, in a battle that began last issue, it's up to Captain Jameson, Spider-Woman, Hiro, and the rest of the Excelsior's crew to rescue Bill and out-maneuver the Ultimatum. But is this just the opening salvo in a war that will rock the spaceways? And when a long-range Mojovision news camera catches and broadcasts the Ultimatum's unprovoked attack, what kind of blowback will HYDRA's aggressive actions have on the galactic stage for all of Earth?

Birds of wood and men of fire
Battle in the skies over Peter
When the ones from elsewhere break the shield
The heavens themselves are put on trial

Jim Hammond is back in Italy and it's an Italy unblemished by WWII which sounds like it's a good thing. However, it's the year 1633 and our android adventurer is still lost in time. Jim's current dilemma concerns a man on trial for heresy. On one side we have Galieo Galilei claiming the earth revolves around the sun. On the other side, we have Pope Urban VIII claiming the Earth is the center of the universe. You all know how this went in the real world. Or you should, anyway, stay in school! But what if Galileo was backed by a mysterious organization with the supposedly dead Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci and Michel de Nostredame offering their help? And what if the Catholic Church had connections to multiple alien races who wanted to postpone man's journey to the stars? This time around it's entirely possible the Catholic Church has a case.

Yep, these two sides seem to have nothing in common. Oh, wait, neither side is fond of flaming, flying androids from 300 years in the future.

•Meanwhile, at the Savage Land Utopia... After devolving the FUTURIST, ALPHA the ULTIMATE MUTANT, and all of their uplifted EXHUMANS back to their original states with her cold fire, SARA GREY aka the GREY PHOENIX seems content to do nothing more than hug her children. With no interesting specimens left to easily sample and study, KOSH should go to his ship and jump into hyperspace but he... it... remains on Earth to deliver a lyrical and cryptic warning to JEAN GREY about the CANCERVERSE's undying ANTI-PHOENIX that has bonded body and soul with her sister.

“MARCEL, MILLIGAN & MYSTIQUE” Part One of Three –**NEW JUMPING ON POINT!**
Theme Song: Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska
Sensing his chance at a freedom from his manipulative mentor Klaus, the Vampire Marcel hits the road with the shape-shifting Raven and ex-Kansas City mobster Mike Milligan as the three to swindle their way from one forbidden object of power to the next on a journey that takes them to Nebraska. However, Raven’s newfound freedom has earned the attention of Sebastian Shaw, who sends Emma Frost to Los Angeles in a bid to convince Raven that now she has left the X-Men, the Hellfire Club might be the next best thing. Meanwhile, Xavier finds out how militant the X-Mansion has become in his absence under Erik’s leadership and worries for a peaceful future following an incident that goes horribly wrong in Alabama.
