An
amnesiac Doctor Druid and Kang-Nebula are living in an earthly paradise where the
lion literally lies down with the lamb, content in the love but tormented by
nightmares of a different world. They decide to merge their minds to break
through to reality. First, Doctor Druid sees his way back to his visit to the
dying Lama who granted him his powers and he regains his memory. He then
recalls how he joined the Avengers and Nebula, murdering a Kang and taking his
place, capturing the minds of Thor, She-Hulk, Black Knight, and Druid, trying
to recover an ancient weapon. It all went wrong and Druid and Nebula were cast
into this world of their own where they fell in love and created an Eden of
their own. And so she remembers that she is evil, energizes her powers and
blasts him, revealing that his love was only her manipulation. She teleports
them to Lincoln, Nebraska in 1961, using her Kang powers to enclose the city in
a time bubble. She demonstrates her ability to ward off any of his attacks,
reminding him also that in 1961 there were no superheroes to come to his aid. Nebula
plans to use her anti-time powers to turn back the clock and conquer the world.
And she tosses him to Tibet to get her out of her hair…
…but
Druid discovers that he is in the right place and time to meet the Lama which
changed his life. Only now the Lama reveals himself as the Ancient One and
states that his empowerment of Doctor Druid was a test run for when Stephen
Strange arrives. Elated to learn that he is a forerunner of the mighty Sorcerer
Supreme, Druid now has the confidence to combat Nebula. He rushes back to
Nebraska and swipes some artifacts from a museum and undergoes a Druidic rite
to draw on the power of the three Mother Goddesses of War. In the city, Nebula
is busy tormenting the citizens by messing around with their ages when Druid
appears, actually three Dr. Druids—one young, one middle-aged, and one old. The
three team up to remove her anti-time power and use it against her so that she
begins to shift in age before she disappears into time. And now the three
Druids become one, the young one, in 1990 and Dr. Druid is happy to have his
hair back….
