He teleported the team to a bar created by Strange Supreme, and dubbed them the Guardians of the Multiverse, instructing them to stop Infinity Ultron. In the battle against him, they were joined by Black Widow from Infinity Ultron's universe, and she eventually shot the villain with an arrow that contained the consciousness of Arnim Zola, killing him. However, Killmonger betrayed the group and fought Zola while he was in Infinity Ultron's body for the Infinity Stones but Strange Supreme sacrificed himself by teleporting himself alongside Arnim Zola and Prince Killmonger to the remains of his universe. He was visited by The Watcher, who revealed he foresaw all the events of the Guardians' batte against Infinity Ultron, and thanked Strange for his sacrifice. As he returned the Guardians to their universes, Captain Carter considered going back to the past to be with Steve, but The Watcher convinced her to return to her universe. After Widow refused to return to her barren universe, The Watcher instead teleported her to Earth-TRN881, where she helped Nick Fury, Captain America and Captain Marvel defeat Loki and his Asgardian army.
