Korvac
Michael Korvac
was once a normal man. Well normal by physical appearances.
Korvac considered himself a genius and because his supervisors
didn't recognize his superiority when the Badoon invaded the
Earth Korvac became a collaborator. It seems like his new bosses
didn't appreciate his work anymore than his old bosses did. One
day after collapsing from exhaustion Korvac awoke to find his
legs were gone replaced by a computer that was fused to his
central nervous system. Korvac took his transformation less than
heroically and has since that day become a terror to the cosmos.
Thor annual #6- flashback- Eight years
ago…Korvac was just a computer-techno. His bosses never
realized his true genius though, and so when the Badoon invaded
Korvac became a collaborator. The Badoon however were very harsh
taskmasters, and when Korvac finally collapsed from exhaustion he
awoke to find his central nervous system grafted onto a special
systems module. Korvac then started going around defeating his
former masters. Korvac would have destroyed his former masters,
but then he was suddenly teleported through time to face Dr.
Strange.Giant-Size Defenders #3- Grandmaster and Prime Mover are
engaged in a game for the fate of the Earth. The Defenders are
the Grandmaster’s pawns. Against the Hulk and Dr. Strange
the Prime Mover employs Grott the Man-Slayer and Korvac. Dr.
Strange watches while Hulk is fighting Grott. Korvac comes up
behind Strange. He introduces himself as being from Earth, but
from the year 2977 AD. Strange summons a mystical attack, but
Korvac’s superior science finds the perfect defense against
it. The immense energy that the two of them are releasing is
devastating the world they are on. The planet is ravaged, but
Strange and Korvac are only winded. Strange wonders how he
launches so many attacks so quickly. Korvac explains that his
brain is directly wired into his technology. Strange realizes
that his magic cannot penetrate Korvac’s defenses. He
surprises Korvac and leaps at Korvac to physically assault him.
Korvac spins out of control and damages his circuitry against the
rocks.
Thor annual #6- flashback-
Korvac was playing possum and not actually hurt. Instead he takes
the time to analyze a sliver of the Grandmaster’s power.
Korvac is returned tot he 31st century with newfound
abilities such as teleportation. He teleports to a lifeless
planetoid and with his new knowledge he transforms the barren
rock into a technological wonderland. Korvac then sends out
probes through time and space to gather artifacts and his army
for himself.
Thor annual #6- While Thor is
fighting a group of terrorists with a nuclear reactor he is
plucked out of time and accidentally brought into the future.
Korvac says that his time probe was not supposed to pick up
passengers. Korvac looks at his computer and it tells him that it
is Thor now in his presence. Korvac says that this is nonsense,
but that Thor must not be allowed to interfere with his carefully
laid plans. Korvac pushes a button and fire-bolts shoot out at
Thor. Thor throws his hammer at the weapons and destroys them.
Korvac says that as impossible as it seems his computers have
correctly identified him. Korvac pushes another button and Thor
is transported into the void of deep space. Thor passes out. Soon
after Korvac blasts the Guardians of the Galaxy with an intense
power beam. Once the ship is righted Starhawk says that they are
fortunate because if the beam had struck anywhere else they would
have been disintegrated. The Guardians trace the shot and start
to head towards its origin. Korvac says that he has accomplished
too much to tolerate any interference. Korvac pushes another
button and the Guardians’ ship is trapped within a giant
wave of rocky debris. They manage to dodge the assault, but head
several million miles off course. As they head back again
Starhawk discovers Thor’s frozen body. They bring him
aboard. Back at Korvac’s ship, Korvac asks Mister Teju, a
lizard man, for his report. Teju says that the meteor storm
worked, and that it drove the ship off disappeared from their
screens. Korvac yells at him and says that he wants confirmation
that the ship was destroyed. A minor fight between Korvac’s
men Teju, Grott, Brahl, Tork, and Dumog. Korvac says that he will
brook no dissension in the ranks, and that they will all calm
themselves or face his wrath. Korvac says that soon the galaxy
will be his to command and then he will have his revenge on all
that tried to oppose him. At that moment Korvac has a power
siphoning beam heading towards Sol, the sun of his former planet
Earth. The bean will cause the Sun to go nova, and will then
drain the energy. He says that with the Sun’s power drained
into his equipment he will have all the power he will need for
untold millennia. Korvac says that there is only two hours to go.
The Guardians and Thor return. Korvac commands that the defense
drones be activated. The Guardians and Thor teleport onto
Korvac’s planetoid and send their ship away. They come face
to face with Korvac’s men. Thor and Starhawk take after
Korvac while the others fight his men. Korvac says that he is
impressed to see Thor again, but that they cannot stop him now.
They rush Korvac, but find themselves teleported back outside.
They try again only to be teleported again. While Korvac laughs
Starhawk spots the machine Korvac uses to teleport them and Thor
smashes it. Korvac erects an impenetrable shield, but
Starhawk’s power manages to shatter it. Korvac shoots an eye
beam at Thor and Starhawk. Thor and Starhawk are forced to fight
each other. Starhawk gets the idea that they must fight each
other so hard that they destroy the lab. As the pieces start to
fall Korvac teleports away.
Avengers #175- flashback- After
fleeing from Thor and the Guardians by escaping through time.
Korvac winds up right outside the abandoned home of Galactus.
Korvac teleports inside and realizes that he can find the power
for his revenge here. He plugs his tri-pronged electronic probe
into the station’s computer output console. Korvac
doesn’t realize until it is too late that he has been given
the power of a god. Korvac undoes the damage and transformation
that the Badoon did to his body. Korvac now possesses a body more
fitting his new power. The thoughts of revenge are gone and
Korvac turns his attention towards a “higher purpose”.
Korvac shields his presence from other godlike beings and starts
making alterations to the fabric of reality preparing for his
eventually taking control. Korvac then returns to his native
Earth.
Avengers #167- The Avengers meet up with the
Guardians of the Galaxy near the SHIELD space station. Thor
reveals that he just met up with the Guardians against Korvac.
The Guardians say that after that they tried to catch Korvac
again. They almost caught him, but he faded out seconds before
they crashed in. Korvac was unable to cover his tracks
completely, and the Guardians were able to discern that Korvac
came to this time period. Vance Astro, leader of the Guardians,
figures that Korvac came back in time to kill Astro as a young
Vance Astrovik so that he can never grow up to oppose him. Vance
says that whatever they do to oppose Korvac can’t involve
him. Elsewhere Korvac is sitting next to Kyle Richmond, also
known as Nighthawk, at a Janet van Dyne fashion show. He is
wearing a tux, and doesn’t move until the name Carina
Walters is mentioned as coming down the runway. Suddenly the
Porcupine and his goons bust in. Korvac stands stone-faced as
Yellowjacket, Wasp, and Nighthawk deal with Porcupine. Carina is
attending to a fainted older woman until she looks up and sees
Michael Korvac looking at her. Korvac doesn’t need to speak.
She feels his desire and senses his offer. Carina takes
Michael’s hand accepting his offer. Together they disappear.
Avengers #168- While the
Avengers are having internal problems Starhawk walks off to find
Korvac on his own. Starhawk’s alter ego is a woman named
Aleta. She walks up to the house. She senses the aura around the
house. She rings the doorbell. Carina answers the door. Aleta
asks to see the master of the house. Carina says that he has been
expecting her. Aleta says that the universe’s only hope is
that he wasn’t expecting her so soon. Korvac interrupts and
says that he is the universe’s hope. Korvac introduces his
wife Carina. He introduces himself as Michael, and says that in
this form Starhawk is called Aleta. Korvac tells Carina that
Aleta is more than she seems. He tells her to leave them, but
sends some power to protect and comfort her. Korvac says that
only Aleta is aware of him, and that he cannot allow her
knowledge to spread. Aleta says that one of them must die. Aleta
transforms into Starhawk into another reality. Korvac follows as
he transforms into his powered up form. Korvac says that they
will be fighting on every plane of existence because he must
destroy him utterly. Starhawk hits Korvac. The blow rips into his
being. Somewhere in the depths of the cosmos within his mind a
planet shatters. Billions of souls who inhabit the sub reality
scream in terror as their dimension trembles. In our dimension
Korvac’s pain causes a storm. Korvac says that Starhawk is
stronger than he thought. Starhawk mentions how Korvac’s
power is divided to protect Carina. Korvac says that Starhawk can
already see the inevitable outcome, but still holds out hope. He
says that his power, even divided, is supreme. Korvac says that
Starhawk is “two who are one”, but that he can be as
many as he likes. Korvac touches Starhawk and he reels in pain.
In reality Korvac strikes Aleta. Starhawk tries to blast Korvac,
but Korvac is not affected. With a whim Korvac surrounds Starhawk
with eldritch fire. Korvac tells Starhawk that physically Aleta
is subdued, that he has also invaded her mind and crushed her
spirit within his subconscious. Korvac says that he also has
Starhawk’s spirit now at his mercy in the astral void. As
Korvac kills Starhawk Dr. Strange, Silver Surfer, and Captain
Marvel both sense phenomenon at work, but cannot pinpoint the
disturbance as if it were veiled from them. Korvac says that
execution is not enough and that Starhawk must be obliterated.
Korvac turns Starhawk’s ethereal spirit into basic
substance. Korvac rips him apart with claws of naked energy.
Korvac grabs the pieces of Starhawk and says that Starhawk is as
dust is to him. Korvac drops Starhawk and he falls like a pile of
sand. Korvac says that those who might oppose him sensed
something, but not the source. Korvac reforms Starhawk exactly as
he was, but without knowledge of the fight or Korvac, and
Starhawk’s senses will no longer perceive Korvac. Korvac
sends Starhawk back to the Avengers. Later Korvac sits inside his
house in the dark…and plans.
Avengers #170- behind the scenes- The Guardians
of the Galaxy stand watch over a young Vance Astrovik. They think
Korvac is going to come and try to kill him
Avengers #172
Avengers #173- As he sits
in his chair, Korvac watches as the Avengers try to deal with why
all their members seem to be vanishing. Carina comes in to ask
Michael if he would like any cocoa. Korvac thanks her, but he
says that he will get it himself. Korvac materializes a cup of
cocoa in his hand. Carina asks Michael if there is anything
wrong. She says that he has been so quiet. Korvac says that it is
exactly the opposite. He shows her the Guardians of the Galaxy
guarding young Vance Astrovik. He shows her the thousand year old
version isolated in space. He says that none of them suspect that
they are acting on his will. He says that they are performing
some of the many adjustments to the cosmos he must prepare before
he asumes proprietorship. Korvac says that he must check upon
those who aren’t so easily lead, to make sure that they do
not suspect anything. Korvac says that Carina will have to leave
him for a while. Carina asks if there isn’t something she
could do to help. Korvac says he needs only total concentration
so he doesn’t accidentally unleash forces which even he may
not withstand. Carina walks into her bedroom. She starts to cry.
Carina starts to use her own hidden power to contact someone, but
decides that she cannot. She says that Michael may be mad to
think he is a god…that he is the rightful owner of the
universe…”but father help me…I’m starting to
believe him.” Korvac uses his power to watch the Watcher who
is watching him. He looks in on Odin, Zeus, and Mephisto. All are
unaware that he exists yet. Korvac next checks on Eternity.
Korvac says that Eternity is so confident and serene that he
wouldn’t have paid any attention to him even if Korvac
hadn’t shielded himself. Suddenly Korvac senses
Carina’s moment of betrayal. He walks into the bedroom and
grabs her wrists. Korvac scans her for any sign of betrayal.
Avengers #174- Korvac
looks into Carina’s eyes. He says that he sensed betrayal in
her, and yet now he can sense nothing but love. Carina confesses
that she was sent here to betray Korvac. She explains that her
father is a prophet and that he saw Korvac’s coming. He sent
her to betray him, but she says that she truly loves him. Carina
says she forged herself into Korvac’s ideal mate. Korvac
sees her father’s influence now. He senses his location.
Korvac asks why it is if her father is a prophet that he cannot
see that the universe will only ever have peace under his
proprietorship. He says that nothing can be allowed to interfere.
Carina begs Korvac not to do this. Just as the Collector,
Carina’s father, is about to reveal the identity of the one
who threatens the universe Korvac strikes him down. Collector is
disintegrated. Korvac stands on his porch with Carina. He says,
“You are now an orphan Carina…my love.”
Avengers #175
-
The Avengers try to find out who Collector was about to reveal to
them, but all information about Korvac is turned to dust just as
the Collector was. Back in his house Korvac dries off after
taking a swim in his pool. He was trying to relax, but fails.
Korvac teleports to Carina to see how she feels. Carina says she
isn’t sure, but she loves Michael and knows that if she had
to let him kill her father again she would. Carina does not know
why, but Korvac does, though he keeps silent. They kiss and then
consummate their relationship for the first time. It is an open
sharing of body and minds as Michael “softly slips between
the folds of Carina’s soul.” He sees her from the time
her father sent her to find him. Carina sees Korvac as the
machine he used to be and witnesses his transformation into
godhood. Later Iron Man gets the idea to ask Starhawk to use his
senses to find their enemy, not realizing that Korvac removed
Starhawk’s ability to perceive him. Korvac says that he
hopes the Avengers don’t find him because he would hate to
have to destroy them.
Avengers #176- Korvac waters
his plants. He remarks to Carina that the Avengers are very
persistent, and that they are finding little clues he carelessly
left behind. Carina wonders if the Avengers might not force
Korvac into another confrontation with Starhawk. Korvac says that
Starhawk can no longer perceive him. Carina asks Korvac what will
happen if the Avengers stumble upon him. Korvac says that they
will fervently wish that they had not. Later Korvac answers the
door to find the Avengers standing there. They ask if they can
come in, and Michael agrees. As the Avengers enter nobody notices
that Starhawk looks puzzled. The Avengers ask to look around for
something that threatens the universe. When they find nothing
Iron Man tells the Avengers with extra sensory powers to try.
They all come up with nothing. Starhawk interrupts and says that
he doesn’t know what their game is, but that they have all
been talking to someone that isn’t there. The Avengers all
realize that Starhawk cannot see the one called Michael, and that
they only way that is possible is if Michael is the being of
immense power. Korvac admits it, but says that he is sorry to see
that they have learned the truth. Thor asks if this mortal is
their enemy. Cap says he thinks that Michael passed mortal long
ago. Korvac says that is true, and that even moreso than Thor he
is a god. Korvac says that he was going to be their savior, but
now he realizes that since they have discovered him that the
other great cosmic entities that he had been shielding himself
from will prevent him from ruling the universe. Korvac says that
he can no longer save the future, but he can save himself. Korvac
tells the Avengers that they will regret finding him. Korvac
grows and turns purple with power. Korvac tells them to remember
that they brought this on themselves.
Avengers #177- Korvac tells
the Avengers that they have ruined everything. He says that right
now Heimdall, the Watcher, and Eternity sense his presence and
power. Korvac says he is sorry, but he has to kill them now.
Moondragon mentally contacts the Guardians of the Galaxy. They
arrive and knock down the door. Korvac says if only he could
welcome his former nemesis. Korvac tells them that their arrival
doesn’t really effect the balance of power much. The
Guardians say that Vance Astro will be coming too. Korvac says
that he is quite aware of Vance’s presence on the orbiting
space station. He causes an image of the station to appear so
that they can all witness the first casualty in the war that they
have started. Korvac shoots blasts from his hands. In space the
station explodes and Vance Astro dies screaming. THE FIREHEADED
CHIC freaks out she rushes Korvac. Korvac’s attention seems
to wander, but he still manages to swat her away killing her
instantly. Quicksilver quickly strikes Korvac. Korvac says that
he does this for his beloved Carina. He blasts Quicksilver, and
kills him as well. Iron Man, Vision, Charlie-27, and Wonder Man
all rush him. Nobody is able to hurt him. Korvac strikes down
Captain America and kills Charlie-27. Thor and Hercules try to
hurt him but cannot. Korvac says that Odin himself could not
stand against him, and asks Thor what hope he has. Iron Man
attacks Korvac, and tells Panther to grab Carina. Panther stalls
because it is dishonorable so Yellowjacket does it. Carina stares
at Korvac in fear. Korvac asks why she does not protect herself
with her Power Cosmic. Korvac blasts all the Avengers away from
him. Yellowjacket tells Korvac to freeze or he will hurt Carina.
Korvac quickly kills Yellowjacket saying he is now annoyed.
Korvac kills Hawkeye and Yondu. Ms. Marvel tries to swoop in on
him, but Korvac kills her as well. Korvac kills Martinex. Korvac
tells Captain Marvel that he senses that he doesn’t fear
death. Korvac says that he is wise beyond his station as he kills
him. Korvac says that none are more admirable than the Black
Panther. He says that were it not for Carina that he would rather
die than kill Panther, but as Carina is there Korvac kills
Panther. As Korvac kills Black Widow, Scarlet Witch, and Wasp he
speaks of how grand love between those with the Power Cosmic is.
As Korvac is fighting Jocasta Captain America wakes up as his
shield took the blast. After Korvac kills Jocasta he powers down
as he believes all the Avengers to be dead or unconscious. Cap
throws his shield and hits Korvac in the head. Cap starts laying
into Korvac and gives his “one man” speech that he will
find a way to defeat him. Korvac says that he might given time,
but then kills Captain America with a punch. Wonder Man has
recovered and attacks Korvac. He says that he heard how Korvac
had commended Captain Marvel about not fearing death. Wonder Man
says that he died once and it was no fun. He says that the
thought of dying scares him, and that he figured that there must
be some purpose for his resurrection. Simon says that this is it,
and that with everything riding on him he won’t fail. Simon
shouts that he is not afraid anymore, but as he leaps at Korvac,
Korvac kills him with a blast. Korvac is attacked by Thor,
Vision, Starhawk, and Iron Man. Korvac looks over to Carina for
love and the will to go on. The horror of the bloodshed has
stunned Carina. When she hesitates Korvac dies. Iron Man and Thor
realize that it wasn’t within their power to do it, but that
it was something else. It was as if he lost the reason to live.
Carina freaks out and forces Thor to kill her. She collapses with
her hand reaching out for Korvac’s. Moondragon says that she
entered Korvac’s mind and that he was not evil or even
sought to rule them. He just wanted to free them from Eternity.
Moondragon reveals that the Avengers and Guardians still live as
Korvac reached out before he died to cure them.
Fantastic Four annual 24- flashback- When
Korvac collapsed in the Avengers it was really the result of
Galactus using the Ultimate Nullifier to wipe Korvac out of
existence. Korvac sensed that the power was coming for him so he
looked to his beloved, but when he saw doubt in her eyes he
killed himself before the Ultimate Nullifier could wipe him from
existence. With his last moment Korvac emits an invisible burst
containing his knowledge, personality, and cosmic power to one of
his ancestors. The power will pass along from ancestor to
ancestor until it becomes Korvac’s again.
Fantastic Four annual 24-The power manifests
itself in one of Korvac’s ancestors. The Guardians of the
Galaxy and the Fantastic Four try to defeat her before
Korvac’s power and personality take over the girl entirely.
Korvac defeats all the heroes except Reed Richards. Reed travels
back in time and to the location of what was thought to be
Korvac’s last stand. He sends Galactus’ Ultimate
Nullifier beams into the “present”. Korvac sees the
beams and sends the pulse of himself off again to the future this
time.

Avengers annual #16- The
Silver Surfer is trying to destroy one of the Grandmaster’s
five life bombs that will create a new big bang destroying all
existing life while creating a new one. Silver Surfer finds the
bomb, but is repelled by the force field of Michael Korvac.
Korvac says he wields the power cosmic on a much larger scale
than Surfer does. Korvac says that as long as Surfer has no
chance of winning they might as well pass the time having a
drink. When Surfer doesn’t come down Korvac figures Surfer
doesn’t like champagne. He sends a cosmic bolt at Surfer.
When Surfer says he cannot be harmed Korvac says that he likes to
see confidence in his opponent. Korvac magnetizes the silver
shell that surrounds Surfer. Every meteor around encases Surfer
as the core of his own planet. Surfer breaks out and Korvac is
hit with one of the meteors. Surfer flies around to destroy the
bomb. Korvac flies up to meet Surfer on his board. Korvac melts
Surfer’s silver skin. Even though he is now human Surfer
still mentally commands his board into the life bomb destroying
it.
Captain America vol. 3 #14- behind the scenes-
Posing as Kang, Korvac comes to free the Red Skull from a
netherworld of his own making that he was cast into when the
Cosmic Cube broke. He gets there just in time to see the Red
Skull freeing himself. He watches as Red Skull starts to crackle
with power.
Captain America vol. 3 #15-
behind the scenes- Skull now commands the power of the Cosmic
Cube from within. He asks “Kang” what he wants there.
Kang says that he offers an alliance. Skull says that the world
is already his. Kang says that he hasn’t come for the world
right now, but just to impart secrets to Skull. “Kang”
tells Skull of something he must retrieve to remain supreme for
centuries. Skull goes off to do it. Later Steve Rogers and Sharon
Carter return to Steve’s home. There Korvac, posing as the
Watcher, levitates in his apartment. Steve asks Watcher why he is
there. The Watcher point over to reveal the Red Skull. Skull
smacks them around. He leaves after taunting them with his world
to come. Captain America asks Watcher what is going on. Watcher
says that the next few hours are going to be critical to human
history. Watcher shows Steve and Sharon of Skull’s world of
the future. They see an apocalyptic world and discover that it is
the world starting tomorrow. Cap asks how Skull could do this.
The Watcher says that Skull isn’t responsible but that
Captain America himself is.
Captain America vol. 3 #16-
behind the scenes- “Watcher” takes Captain America onto
Galactus’ ship. He says that Skull is going to gain immense
knowledge and power here as Korvac once did. Watcher says that
Captain America is going to have to kill the Red Skull to stop
him. Cap says no way. Skull keeps showing Captain America how he
is going to torture all of his precious America, but Cap refuses
to kill the Skull.
Captain America vol. 3 #17-
“Watcher” says that Skull’s power is still divided
as he is summoning Galactus’ ship, but that once the ship
gets here it is all over. Cap still refuses to kill, but then
Galactus’ ship arrives. As Red Skull bathes in the power of
Galactus’ ship Cap finally breaks down without any other
options available. He forms his energy shield into the form of a
dagger and stabs Skull through the back. The power starts to flow
out of the Skull and it flows into the Watcher. Korvac says,
“No. Not the Watcher” as he transforms into Kang.
“Never the Watcher”, he continues. Finally Kang shifts
into his true form- that of Korvac. Korvac says that as Kang he
was the one who tipped Skull off to rob Galactus’ ship of
power. Korvac says that the future he showed Cap was Skull’s
true future, but he stopped that and now instead they have his
future. He shows them a quick glimpse of the United States of
Korvac where free will has been replaced by unswerving devotion.
Korvac opens up a portal to the 30th century and
thanks Captain America for his help as he leaves. Before the
portal closes Captain America dives in.
Captain America vol. 3 #18-
Earth in the year 3007, Korvac holds three Badoon spies within
his power. He finds it amazing that the Badoon continue to annoy
him with the immensity of his power, and the strength of his
grudge. Korvac says that he would be grateful for making him part
machine if he thought the memory of the agony he had to endure
would ever fade. Korvac says that if he feared the Badoon at all,
or even he if thought they were worth the effort he would simply
erase all the Badoon from existence. The three Badoon vanish. The
crowd looks on uneasily, but Korvac tells them to stop cringing
and be grateful that it wasn’t them this time. Korvac walks
among his people with Primax, his assistant. Primax thinks about
Korvac’s benevolence and his notion that independent thought
it a cancer. Suddenly a group of Captain America’s rebels
attack Korvac and Primax. The true Captain America reveals
himself. Korvac kills him beneath a hail of power. The people see
Captain America as a martyr and start to chant for freedom.
Korvac, once again, reboots time. Korvac asks Primax how many
times he has rebooted time. Primax says that was seventy-two.
Primax asks about who Captain America is. Korvac tells Primax
that he followed him from the 20th century when humans
still possessed something called responsibility. Korvac says that
he is tired of this approach and wants to do something different.
Korvac and Primax head to Captain America’s hideout where he
is giving a speech about freedom and faith in themselves. Korvac
blasts Captain America. Instead of killing Captain America this
time however he simply kills all his followers. Captain America
leaps at Korvac ready to kill. Korvac tells him to do it, and
that it should be easy since he has done it before. Captain
America pauses and Korvac takes him off. Korvac starts to reboot
time. He tells Captain America that he is literally a God
Machine, and that he wants to turn the Earth into a prefect
mechanism. He says that each time something goes wrong he just
restarts time. Korvac says that he could easily kill Captain
America for his crimes, but he finds it much more fitting to make
him see the error of his ways. Korvac decides to grant Captain
America an ability…each time he restarts time he will allow
him to retain his memory (a gift only Primax has as well) so that
he can see the hopelessness of his cause. Korvac reboots time.
Captain America vol. 3 #18-
It is the celebration of the day Korvac freed the Earth from the
Badoon- July 4th. Captain America and his troops
attack Korvac from a Trojan Horse gift. Captain America knocks
Korvac out of the building and tries to appeal to Primax. Captain
America tries to get Primax to remember the time when he was a
human. Primax says that Korvac is a benevolent god. Korvac
returns and says that Primax is a cog, and that a cog is a cog.
Korvac reboots time.
Captain America vol. 3 #18-
It has been fifty years with no sign of Captain America.
Korvac’s influence spreads throughout the spiral arm of the
galaxy. A group of new “cogs” comes before Korvac. They
attack with Captain America. Korvac reboots time.
Captain America vol. 3 #18-
Captain America tries to kill Korvac with a simple blaster.
Korvac shields himself and smacks Captain America. Korvac reboots
time.
Captain America vol. 3 #18-
Captain America holds a sort of “Boston Tea Party”
inciting other revolts. Korvac reboots time.
Captain America vol. 3 #18- A
revolution breaks out in the form of sabotage. Korvac grabs
Captain America. He says that his patience with him is at an end.
Korvac is about to kill Captain America when Primax quite
literally stabs him in the back. Korvac slams Primax against the
wall and shouts “Traitor!” Captain America says that
freedom cannot be eliminated from the human race. Captain America
says that even Korvac is full of free will. He says that Korvac
allowed too much of his humanity to remain when the power entered
him. Cap says that no matter how many times he manipulates the
future his mistake was in the past. Korvac decides that he is
right and reboots time back to 1999.
Captain America vol. 3 #19- Captain America
lunges at the Red Skull with a sword, but changes it into a staff
at the last second. Skull smacks him away. The
“Watcher” shields them from a blast, and Captain
America tells him to drop the charade. Watcher turns into Korvac.
For some reason Captain America remembered why they went back in
time, and Korvac does not. Skull is about to kill them, but
Korvac teleports himself, Cap, and Sharon aboard Galactus’
ship. Korvac says that he wants to flee, but Cap says that he
isn’t abandoning Earth. Korvac says that he will kill Cap,
but Cap calls his bluff because he knows that Korvac knows he is
his only chance at escaping Skull’s retribution. Korvac
agrees and leads Captain America to a certain beam on the ship.
Skull teleports himself onto the ship and spreads Korvac thinly
over six dimensions. Cap tricks the Skull into jumping into the
beam because Skull thinks it is the information he wants, but it
is really an anti-matter beam.
