Colleen Wing
arrives in Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon. She leaves a lengthy message
on Misty Knight’s voicemail, informing her that a guy calling himself Worldmind
has been speaking in her head, wanting to hire her as bodyguard. She hangs up
when she encounters Worldmind in a field. He reveals he has only had telepathic

saying cosmic level stuff is out of her league but Worldmind assures her he
knows what is coming and how to stop it. Then Thanos emerges from the forest, demanding
the Mind Stone. Colleen confronts Thanos with her sword, trying to intimidate

Worldmind; he unleashes his power, causing the darkness in Thanos’ soul to bring

the two exhausted combatants take a breather, Colleen steps forward, revealing she
is the new bearer of the Mind Stone. Thanos demands the Stone so she stabs him
through the head with her reconstituted sword. Colleen knows he will recover
soon so Hulk punches Thanos’ head into the ground, giving Colleen more time to
get away. “Tell the trinket to never do that again,” says the Hulk and he departs….
