This is it! The fate of the world hangs in the balance as the super-heroes of the Marvel Universe clash with the awesome menace of Onslaught! In war torn Central Park; the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and the Hulk lay it all on the line to defeat their near-omnipotent opponent! After the heroes initial assault fails, Doctor Doom takes charge! The Latverian monarch orders Rogue and the Vision to penetrate Onslaughts force field! And then Doom deploys the Green Goliath to attack at close range! With a savage fury, the Hulk breaks up Onslaughts physical form! But the powerful creature just becomes living psionic energy! And now the only way to win…is for the heroes to voluntarily enter and absorb Onslaughts energy aura! Facing certain death the Prince of Asgard goes in first! Followed by Ben and Johnny!
