Defenders, The #10 Synopsis by Julio Molina-Muscara

Hulk, Doctor Strange, the Sub-Mariner and the Silver Surfer return to Earth to aid his teammates in saving the Earth. The magician extends the relic protection to the whole group, and they go towards Orrgo. But the god materializes a supervillain team against them, including the Juggernaut, Rhino, the Absorbing Man, Sandman, the Abomination, the Destroyer, Klaw, Electro, Mysterio, Doctor Octopus, the Green Goblin, Blastaar, Venom, and Doctor Doom. The supervillains prove too many and too strong for the Defenders to defeat. So Nighthawk, Hellcat and Valkyrie enter the Headmen's building and recover the relic. Orrgo is now under the control of the good guys. The god returns everything to normal, including the Fantastic Four, Thor, and Spider-Man. With Orrgo at their command, Doctor Strange thinks of using him to control the world and rid it from villains. But Hellcat disagrees with the despotic idea, and hits the relic from Stephen Strange's hands, which crushes on the floor. Orrgo returns to his world, and Doc Strange keeps the gem that was tied to the relic.
