  *There were two Hyperions. Both were pulled --**resurrected --** from a dead universe. Both were then imprisoned, kept weak beyond weak without sunlight. And then both were rescued... called to be titans again. Titans, towering over mortal men and women. Titans, shaping the world into something better. He remembered his **father's** words: **Truth without compromise. Thought without error. All things for the betterment of the whole.** And found fault in them. There were two Hyperions. One that lost everything, and one that had everything to gain. **Death** should mean something. And so should being **born again.** He was the Sun... and these were the first of his children.*

## Synopsis for "The Death and Resurrection of Major Titans"Edit

Captain America and Captain Marvel discuss the containment status of the various impact sites from Ex Nihilo’s genetic bombs. They discover a previously unknown bomb that struck the Savaage Land, and Black Widow’s team is dispatched to investigate. In a flashback, we see Hyperion on his homeworld; he is a hero but also begins to see things that others cannot see which begin to cloud his vision.

The Avengers land in the Savage Land; Hyperiod spies a group of AIM agents who have already discovered the site and are extracting samples from a cocoon. They implant the alien virus into a willing intern, who quickly dies. Hyperion and Captain Marvel arrive to confront them, with Hyperion mentioning that it was AIM who saved him from his own dying universe.

In a flashback we see the destruction of his original world due to an incursion event that collapsed two universes together. Hyperion somehow survived, floating in an interdimensional void, when AIM scientists discovered him and pulled him into our reality. They kept him prisoner until he was rescued by Cap, Iron Man, and Thor.

In the present, the AIM scientists say they have diplomatic immunity from the Avengers; things are about to escalate when the dead intern’s body suddenly sprouts tentacles and begins attacking everyone. Thor and Hyperion destroy the creature and Captain Marvel asks an AGENT why they would inject a human with the alien virus; he responds that they were curious. Nearby Hyperion observes several pods opening; small, striped humanoids emerge who speak in the Builders’ language. Instead of destroying them he chooses to let them gather around him.

As he is taken into custody, the AIM scientist smirks at Captain Marvel, congratulating her sarcastically on containing all 6 impact sites. In Norway, a group of AIM scientists locate a hitherto unknown seventh impact site.
