The Serpent, the self-proclaimed True All-Father of Asgard, awakens from his dark prison beneath the ocean, set free by his First Worthy, Skadi. As he begins to spread fear throughout Earth, the Asgardians go back to Asgard, leaving the heroes of Earth to fend for themselves, while the fear generated by the general human populace helps to power The Serpent. Many major characters were featured, such as the X-Men, the Avengers and the Future Foundation. One of the main villains is Sinthea Shmidt, daughter of the Red Skull.
