Save the world, destroy the world - it's all the same to him!

Hailing from an unimaginable era: the 31st century having fled through the timestream from the pursuing team of futuristic defenders known as the Guardians of the Galaxy.

He happens upon Galactus' space station and while attempting to download its knowledge, Korvac the Machine Man is imbued with the Power Cosmic and becomes god-like. He then recreates himself as a perfect humanoid and establishes a secret presence on present-day Earth in the self-created persona of the mysterious Michael, now a flawed demigod believing that it is his destiny to perfect the universe.

Through such an unassuming guise, Korvac contemplates the elements of a universe he thirsts to command. Yet despite the subtlety of Michael's machinations, the world's greatest super-team - the mighty Avengers - catches wind of his cosmos-conquering scheme, thus drawing the two titanic forces into inevitable conflict.

Plus: Earth's Mightiest Heroes face additional endangerment from aliens, Atlanteans and automatons!

Guest-starring: The Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, Dr. Strange and more!
