A new threat that emerged in volume 1 is on the rise, and it spells certain doom for the entire Planet Earth. Can the Avengers, with its new, bigger roster, save the day?
This volume starts in a distant part of the universe(s) in a place called the Superflow. It's quite confusing to begin with, but if I've called it correctly, it's kind of a central monitoring station/hub for all the multiple universes. We were introduced to the Builders in Volume 1 - well this place is connected to them somehow, probably kind of like 'Head Office' of the Builders. Maybe, I'm just speculating at the moment.
Anyway, the Superflow is alerted to the fact that many universes are dying, but we discover that Universe 616 (containing our favourite Marvel superheroes of Earth 616) is also going critical. So they initiate what is known as a White Event.
Cut to Avengers Tower, and Earth's Mightiest Heroes are learning about Nightmask, or Adam, who was birthed in volume 1 by Ex Nihlo, a Builder. He and Captain Universe are explaining the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything when they are alerted to an incident that has occurred in a nearby college campus. There's a blast radius of 1 mile and over 3000 people are dead.
Racing to the scene, they find a skinny naked youth at ground zero who doesn't have any clue what's going on. His name is Kevin, and he's the most powerful being on the planet, and subsequently smacks the Hulk into orbit and isn't phased when Thor gives him his best wallop with Mjolnir.
Kevin, we learn, is a Starbrand. Each planet has its own Starbrand, created by a White Event - an intervention of sorts (I think) by the Superflow when universes are dying.
