STORYLINE – THE FIRST PART OF A MAJOR 1995 CROSSOVER EVENT BETWEEN MARVEL COMICS AND MALIBU COMICS

Following the events of the Ultraforce/Avengers Prelude, Loki tracks the missing Infinity Gems into the Ultraverse (Earth-93060). Seeking to reclaim the Mind Gem, the Grandmaster challenges Loki to a classic cosmic game.

***SPOILER ALERT***

While Loki technically wins the contest due to a strategic technicality, the entire game is derailed by a hidden wild card. Sersi, an Avenger and Eternal who has been mentally unstable, reveals herself to be under the possession of a secret, seventh Infinity Gem—the Ego Gem.
