Paradise X: Heralds #3
Appearances:
X-51(Earth X), Wolverine 2013, Hyperion(new), Spider-Girl(new), Deathlok(Luther Manning), Killraven, Bloodstorm(Mutant X), Iron Man 2020(Arno Stark), Uatu(Earth X)
Synopsis:
Pg1
The Watchers confront X-51’s group.
Pg2-pg3-FB
Uatu makes his presence known to the Thing.
Pg4-pg7
The group moves Uatu away from the gathered Watchers.
Pg8-FB
Black Bolt prepares to blind Uatu.
Pg9-pg22
Killraven reappears and X-51 tricks the gathered Watchers into returning to their own realities through the Monolith, but on Earth instead of on the moon. Now that the various alternate Earths know they’re being watched they will figure out what they need to do. Now that their job is done, X-51 can go about giving the group members what they wanted: Wolverine a world where his friends are still alive. Bloodstorm a cure to her vampirism. Spider-Girl to meet a version of her dad. Iron Man 2020 to get out of the shadow of Tony Stark. Killraven to find a way to defeat the Martians. Deathlok a way to turn off his computer. Hyperion to find a way to kill himself.
References:
Three worlds are given as examples when the Watchers returns to their realities.
Avengers of the 50’s, their world has been taken over by Skrulls. Marvel Boy, Human Robot, Venus, Gorilla-Man, & 3-D Man appear.
The Fantastic Four are Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Flo Steinberg, and someone else. I remember this from someplace… the Assistant Editor’s month issue of What If…?, maybe? Or What The…!?!?
President Steve Rogers and General Nick Fury, Fury’s in a space uniform. Was this an issue of What If..??
As far as I can tell, Killraven & Deathlok are from their established timelines. However, I know next to nothing about them, so I have no idea where to place these guys. Killraven eventually returns to his own time happy with the knowledge that at least a world will defeat the Martians, even if it’s not his own. So really, anywhere for him. Deathlok has a new body grown for him by X-51, free of cybernetic implants, but it’s not shown if he ever gets to use it. I have no idea, but sometime before he becomes the Demolisher at least.
Arno Stark is trying to get out from under Tony’s Shadow, and eventually leaves with a Guardians of the Galaxy to help with radiation treatments. There’s a FlashBack where he has another encounter with Machine Man 2020 in an issue of Paradise X where Arno accidentally set off an atom bomb, so I would say after his Death’s Head appearances, and before the Iron Man 2020 one-shot.
Bloodstorm wants to find a cure, and receives a blood transfusion from the earth X Storm in Paradise X. She is later cured over in Mutant X, so I guess the transfusion didn’t work out as planned. Sometime before Mutant X 27, then.
Wolverine is after his death in Uncanny 142.
Spider-Girl & Hyperion are new versions, so it’s irrelevant.
