  Fury is told that the recent cosmic wave that shook earth has knocked it out of orbit and the planet is headed for destruction. As earth's heroes try to control the chaos, Adam Warlock gathers his forces for the ultimate battle against Thanos. Even Dr. Doom agrees to join the fray. Warlock then consults with the greatest cosmic beings in the universe and includes them in his plan. Tired of being spurned by Death, Thanos creates an ideal lover for himself, Terraxia. With all of the pieces in place, earth's heroes are sent to the other side of the universe to engage Thanos in final battle.
