Captain Marvel #27 Jul 1973
"Trapped on Titan!"
Rick Jones is imprisoned by Thanos on Titan and his memories copied by ISAAC, allowing Thanos to know the exact location of the Cosmic Cube - Dernieres Islands on Earth.
Later we are informed that Rick knows the location because the Supreme Intelligence put this information inside his mind, in case he needed to save the Earth from "doomsday."

Thanos flies towards the Derniere Islands with Death and finds the Cosmic Cube, but Drax is already there to stop him.
Meanwhile, Rick's romantic interest Lou-Ann goes to the Avengers' Mansion, asking for help with Rick Jones's membership card.

Captain Mar-Vell, Eros and Mentor battle Thanos' army of aliens controlling Titan and Mar-Vell fights against the Super-Skrull.

Script by Mike Friedrich, plot and pencils by Jim Starlin, inks by Pablo Marcos.

"The Annihilation Gambit!"
Plot continues from Fantastic Four 255.
A strange and powerful force field is emanating from the Baxter Building and spreading outward across Manhattan!

Who has created this massive barrier? The lord of the Negative Zone!
And Annihilus plans to merge Earth's solar system with the Negative Zone and destroy everything!
However, the Avengers are pulling out all the stops to penetrate the barrier including calling in the Vision and the Scarlet Witch!
But when the Vision collapses inside the null-field, Earth's Mightiest Heroes go to their last option...Captain Marvel!

In dazzling fashion, the newest avenger becomes a gamma ray laser beam, breaks through the barrier, and stuns Annihilus!

"The Annihilation Gambit!" Guest-starring the Avengers.
Story continued from Avengers 233.
At the dimensional interface between the Negative Zone and our world, the Fantastic Four begin work on a plan to return home without the use of their destroyed Negative Zone portal.
Twelve days later, the plan is complete and the FF have created a spectral version of the Baxter Building within the Negative Zone.
Reed activates a frequency modulator which should send the group home if someone in the real world has breached the barrier created by Annihilus.

And on Earth, Captain Marvel of the Avengers pierces the field and enters the Baxter Building.
Annihilus is crippled by an explosion and hurled back into the Negative Zone as the Fantastic Four return home.

The Thing finds Alicia Masters severely injured and rushes her to the hospital.
The Avengers enter the Baxter Building and confer with Mister Fantastic and the Human Torch while the Invisible Girl scours the building for young Franklin.

Uncanny X-Men #171 Jul 1983
"Rogue" Guest-starring Binary.
The Alley.
Storm greets her new subjects, and commands them not to attack the "surface dwellers" any longer.
As she leaves Callisto - weak enough that she can barely stand - intercepts her.
They exchange unpleasantries and Storm tells Sunder to put his mistress back to bed.
Nightcrawler notes that Storm is going out of her way to make an enemy of Callisto, to which Storm responds they were moments from the instant they met.
Nightcrawler is troubled about Storm's shifting personality.

Anchorage.
Madelyne Pryor wakes up from a nightmare, and Scott comes running.
After she calms down she tells Scott about the 747 crash only she walked away from.
She gives the date as September 1, 1980 - and Scott is shocked to realize that is the exact day Jean Grey died!

Massachusetts.
Carol Danvers finishes a visit to her folks. However, she's setting her folks on edge and she feels empty.
She knows they're her parents and that she's supposed to care for them, but she doesn't - those feelings were stolen by Rogue.

She concludes there is no place for her on Earth - Binary's place is among the stars!

Xavier's.
Kitty is frantically searching her room for her computer disks with her homework on them
and blaming the New Mutants (X-Babies) for stealing or misplacing them.
Her roommate Illyana makes fun of her when she finally finds them under her keyboard.

In the Danger Room, Charles is running a gym setting to work on his leg muscles.
Both he and Lilandra remain mystified as to why he cannot walk in his new cloned body;
since his paraplegic condition was caused by his legs being crushed and not genetic, his legs should be perfectly functional!
In the kitchen, Colossus is pondering a cookbook when Professor X psychically tells him they have a visitor.
Because he used Peter's codename, he knows there might be trouble, and he shifts into his armored form as he opens the door to discover... Rogue?

Professor X's study.
We discover Professor X cannot read her mind. She tells them that her powers are out of control,
that permanently absorbing Carol's powers was an accident, and that she needs help.
The X-Men are suspicious, and eventually Professor X asks them to leave so he can talk to Rogue in private without all the hostility.
The X-Men resolve to vent their frustrations in the danger room.

Despite it being Kitty who wanted to hit something, she and Illyana end up in the control booth.
Illyana picks out the program, and when Kitty asks what it is Illyana tells her its a surprise.
However, when the program comes up Belasco, even Illyana is briefly surprised before flipping out.
As if possessed, she draws her Soulsword for the FIRST time from nowhere and attacks Kitty.
Kitty phases, but the Soulsword still cuts her! Kitty disarms her, and Illyana comes to her senses - crying out "I remembered!".
The other X-Men arrive in the control booth and Kitty hides the full nature of the incident, waving it off as an accident for Illyana's sake.

Later, Ororo's Attic.
She notices her plants are parched and starts a rainstorm to water them.
However, while she has an angst-ridden internal monologue she loses control of her storm and is reminded only by the sound of thunder.
She clears the clouds, but the plants have already been ruined!
Professor X contacts her telepathically, and she responds by hurling a dagger through his thought-image!

Professor X's study.
Charles has decided to admit Rogue to both the school and as a probationary X-Men member.
Storm objects - as leader of the X-Men she feels she has a say, and is unwilling to take on a member who might betray them!
At that moment, Binary lands outside the X-Mansion and enters.
After a moment of peace we suddenly see Rogue flying through the roof, getting knocked clear into orbit!
Rogue comes back for more and Binary gives it to her. But then Colossus holds Binary down and breaks up the fight.

Professor X explains that Rogue is under his protection as of now, and Binary complains.
It is Storm who tells Binary that Rogue is now the newest X-Man.

A puzzled Rogue doesn't even know why Binary has it in for her, until Binary shifts to her human (looking) form!

Rogue speaks Carol's name under her breath. Carol tells Rogue that she now has the power to destroy her.
Storm tells Professor X that if Rogue stays, she goes - and Nightcrawler says they all will.
Professor X talks the X-Men through the impasse -

Carol concedes understanding but not approval, and leaves in a huff.
Storm, however, is also uncertain and goes to take a walk to decide whether she will stay or leave.
She realizes, either way, that she will no longer be the woman she was.

Avengers #293 Jul 1988
"And Flights of Angels" Part 3 of 3.
The Leviathan's rampage continues unabated across the Atlantic Ocean!
The scheming Doctor Druid thinks that Marrina (aka the Leviathan) should be killed,
but the Avengers with help from Henry Pym make one final attempt to save her!

Incredibly Dr. Pym's plan seems to work after the Black Knight fires a special dart down the Leviathan's throat!
But sadly Marrina transforms back into the giant sea serpent several minutes later.
And then the Avengers finally accept the reality that all means necessary must be used to stop her!

To that end the Mighty Thor brings down the thunder and lightning from the heavens, but again to little effect!
Thus leaving Earth's Mightiest Heroes with only one weapon left to use…the Black Knight's ebony blade!
Will Dane Whitman stab Marrina and invoke the blood curse of the blade?
Or will the Avenging Son use the blade to slay the Leviathan himself?
A poignant ending to one of the Avengers' saddest tales. Death of Marrina.

Cameo appearances by Kang the Conqueror, Ravonna (disguised as Nebula), and Henry Pym.
Avengers Lineup: Black Knight, Captain Marvel, Doctor Druid, She-Hulk, Thor and Sub-Mariner.
NOTE: The Sub-Mariner appears next in Marvel Comics Presents 7 and searches for Marrina's progeny in Solo Avengers 17.
