Rating:
A Kree Destroyer is being pulled inexorably towards a black hole when Legacy (Genis-Vell son of Captain Mar-Vell) tries to save them. But he's not strong enough and he's failing until he's joined by the Silver Surfer. SS tells him to leave it to *him*, and he uses the Power Cosmic to pull the spaceship out of the deadly grip.
Afterwards Surfer says that he roams space seeking people to help in order to make amends for the planets he led Galactus to kill. Legacy says he's just trying to live up to the legend of his father. He asks what Mar-Vell was like, and Surfer advises him to visit Earth and talk to the many heroes who knew him.
Then reality rips ...
... and SS finds himself flying alongside the aforementioned Captain Marvel, astonished to see the man alive. In return Mar-Vell is confused by Surfer's reference to the son he doesn't have. But they have to park such discussions to fight a Skrull armada invading a helpless planet. The Skrulls seem to defeat the Skyrider Of The Spaceways but not for long. CM happens to mention that he survived cancer (that he died of in the main reality, in the 1st of Marvel's Graphic Novel series). Then someone else arrives with a concussive blast that seems to wipe out the Skrulls. Mar-Vell recognises the newcomer and faces up to him, but another blast kills him.
It's Thanos, who now tells Norrin Radd that CM wasn't real.
