He hails from an unimaginable era: the 31st century. Fleeing
through the timestream from the pursuing team of futuristic
defenders known as the Guardians of the Galaxy, Korvac the Machine
Man has established a secret presence on present-day Earth in the
self-created persona of the mysterious Michael. 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. Collecting
