senseless war, provoked by alien enemies….
Above, the forces of The Iron, commanded by the Winter

who has offered himself as the bait to attract his enemies into the range of
the Bellcurve device which will remove the powers of any super-being.…

hurl him at the enemy leader and the two former friends battle in midair as Cap

Man is able to blast Bucky, revealing the Iron commander to be a Skrull; Emma
Frost arrives to put Tony’s knowledge of the alien enemies into Cap’s brain and
the Super-Soldier stands down. Together they decide to detonate the Bellcurve
device which will cancel Skrulls’ shapeshifting powers—but it will also depower
any heroes within its range. Cap has Hulk toss the device down into the Divide
but it fails to detonate. Cap and Iron Man must go down to set it off by hand.
Emma Frost is able to put the same knowledge into the heads of every soldier on
both sides of the conflict so that dozens of heroes dive into the divide to
rescue their leaders Cap and Tony trigger the bomb, killing them, and
depowering all the heroes on the way down. But the Skrulls are defeated.
Epilogue: Peter Parker and Jen Walters meet to talk over how
