In Olympus the gods have vanished, but Hercules is confronted by Typhon. Meanwhile, back in Midgard, Magneto hauls Wanda and Pietro to his secret lair, then to the U.N. where he demands a separate nation for mutants. Hawkeye, Goliath, and Wasp run them off but Wanda is wounded. Typhon banishes Hercules to a world unknown and sits on the throne of Zeus.
