His mission, born from profound loss and a twisted sense of justice, pits him against the very fabric of the Marvel Universe. He navigates a world where heroes and villains alike become targets, forcing him to confront former allies and face the consequences of his extreme methods, all while the world descends into a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
