  Quasar takes the Ultimate Nullifier but he can't make it work. The Magus snatches the Infinity Gauntlet from the captured Warlock but it doesn't work. Doom and Kang use this opportune moment to attack the Magus and almost defeat him when Galactus finally convinces the Living Tribunal to let the Infinity Gems work together once again, giving Magus supreme power. Thanos leads earth's heroes in a last ditch effort to stop the Magus but they end up once again fighting duplicates of themselves. The Magus gets familiar with his new powers while gloating in front of the captured Warlock.
