#149 – Kodiak’s Gambit – Dr. Desist introduces Mischief, and G-Force presents his sidekick L-Force to the others assembled at the base: Warp, Dai Oni, Entropy, Portal, Dr. Mercury, and Majestic. Kodiak interrupts the meeting with a phone call, pleading for the Guardians to go to Machu Picchu, Peru to save his “homeworld”. The assembled group heads to South America and finds the distraught hero at the ancient Inca fortress, where he begins assembling a strange device. The team is ambushed by the Ultimates: Venom, Power Surge, Supreme, Dr. Slaughter, and Fractor, and the two sides struggle. Kodiak completes the device, and everyone is transported to another galaxy, where the battle rages on in the Gwai’ir Court of the Queen. Dr. Slaughter kills Kodiak, and all are told to stand down. The heroes stop, but the Ultimates resist, and the Queen and her soldiers subdue them while Warp slays Venom with a mental blast. Kodiak’s strange device repels the alien Ga’arn invasion, and Majestic brings the fallen hero back to life. Kodiak, a human who had merged with a Gwai’ir symbiotic suit on Earth, turns out to be a champion amongst his newfound people. The Gwai’ir reward Majestic with a new suit of armor, and improve Dr. Mercury with nanite technology.
