Toby Kebbell and Jamie Bell (Ben Grimm) join them on the experiment. Marvel’s First Family is not born in a space ship exposed to cosmic radiation this time. The team is using a device that “cracked into dimensional travel.”

The Marvel Universe is coming to an end.

Not even the Earth’s Mightiest Heroes can save it.

The Avengers and Illuminati (in New Avengers) have been fighting to save Earth from destruction by rival worlds. The incursions are when two dimensions occupy the same point and six hours later one or both worlds are obliterated.

The fight against the incursions has been the main plot of Jonathan Hickman’s epic run since 2013 that will end with the start of Secret Wars. It was hero vs hero in the race to save the world as Hickman took us 8 months into the future as the Time Runs Out arc builds up to his big finale.

One of the biggest mysteries of Hickman’s run is who caused the incursions leading to a premature death of the multiverse.

The cause of the incursions has been revealed. Continue reading MARVEL MYSTERY VILLAIN BEHIND AVENGERS INCURSIONS
