Executive Produced by: Bryan Andrews, A.C. Bradley with Kevin Feige

Head Writer: A.C. Bradley

Episode Written by: Matthew Chauncey

Episode Directed By: Bryan Andrews

After meeting her in 1602, Strange Supreme takes Captain Carter to his Sanctum Infinitum, where he reveals that he has been capturing "universe-killers'' to atone for his sins, and asks for her help in capturing one who fled to a universe where Hydra used the Tesseract to destroy the world.

Carter agrees and encounters Kahhori, who reveals that Strange has been capturing both universe killers as well as righteous heroes to feed to “the Forge”, a contraption he built to resurrect his lost universe and bring back the love of his life Christine Palmer.

As Strange attempts to kill Kahhori, Captain Carter frees all his captives, allowing her and Kahhori to escape and find the Forge to destroy it. Amidst the chaos, the pair encounter Black Panther Killmonger, who Kahhori separates from his infinity armor, allowing Carter to use it along with the infinity stones to even the odds against Strange.

At the Forge the pair battle Strange, as he tries to feed it with the collective powers of the superheroes and supervillains, they send their weapons to Captain Carter to use against Strange, while Kahhori sends them to their home realities. Strange is taken over by his demonic self, becoming Demon Strange and while Carter separates them, they reabsorb into and take over Strange’s body once again.

As the Forge collapses, Strange sacrifices himself and his counterpart to it. The Watcher returns Kahhori home and brings Carter to Strange's restored universe, revealing he succeeded in resurrecting Christine Palmer, though he can never be reborn into it.

Carter asks the Watcher to show her the many wonders of the multiverse before taking her home.

Head Writer: A.C. Bradley

Episode Written by: Ryan Little ( In collaboration with the citizens of the Kanien'kehá:ka -The Mohawk Nation)

Episode Directed By: Bryan Andrews

After Surtur destroys Asgard during Ragnarok, the Tesseract crash-lands in the Haudenosaunee Confederacy in pre-colonial America. The Tesseract falls into a lake, releasing the energy of the Space Stone into it, giving it magical properties.

In the late 15th century, a young Mohawk woman, Kahhori, and her brother Wáhta are hunted by Spanish Conquistadors led by Rodrigo Alphonso Gonzolo, who have ransacked their village in search of the Fountain of Youth. The Conquistadors chase them into a cave, where they capture Wáhta and shoot Kahhori, causing her to fall into a lake.

The Space Stone, located at the bottom of the lake, creates a portal and teleports Kahhori to another dimension, where she is nursed back to health by fellow Mohawk people. One of the villagers, Atahraks, explains that people who interact with the lake are teleported to the "Sky World", where they gain powers and become immortal, but are unable to return to their home. Kahhori stays and becomes acquainted with the Sky World villagers while also familiarizing herself with her new powers.

Eventually, Gonzolo dispatches men into the lake, believing it to be the Fountain of Youth. The Conquistadors are teleported to the Sky World, where they attempt to attack the villagers but are stopped by Kahhori, who forces the portal in the sky to the ground and returns to her home to rescue her people from the Conquistadors. She is later joined by the Sky World villagers, who help her defeat the Conquistadors and rescue her people.

Sometime after, Kahhori and the Sky World villagers force Queen Isabella of Spain to make peace with the Mohawk people. Doctor Strange Supreme appears from a portal and congratulates Kahhori for causing "world peace", saying that he has been looking for her for a long time.

Executive Produced by: Bryan Andrews, A.C. Bradley, Brad Winderbaum with Kevin Feige

Head Writer: A.C. Bradley

Episode Written by: A.C. Bradley

Episode Directed By: Bryan Andrews

Following a mission to retake the Lemurian Star, Captain Peggy Carter and Natasha Romanoff find a still-alive Steve Rogers inside the Hydra Stomper armor. Rogers attacks them both before destroying the vessel.

A briefing with Nick Fury leads Romanoff to deduce that Rogers, who went missing in 1953, was brainwashed by agents of the Red Room. Carter and Romanoff help Brock Rumlow protect Bucky Barnes, who is Rogers' next target, before incapacitating Rogers and traveling to a secret hideout in Scotland.

Attempts to reboot the suit fail as it is keeping Rogers alive, though each activation reduces chances of survival. Rogers then offers to help Carter take down the Red Room in hopes of finding a cure before escorting her and Romanoff to a former KGB test site. The three survive an ambush by various automated drones before Rogers' brainwashing is reactivated by Melina Vostokoff, who admits to staging the earlier events.

Carter battles Rogers while Romanoff fends off Vostokoff's Black Widows. After Carter pleads with him to stop fighting, Rogers flies towards the Red Room and destroys it in spite of her protests. Noticing Rogers move, Romanoff fires her grappling hook to latch onto him and ties it to Vostokoff, who dies in the explosion.

Sometime later, Carter, convinced Rogers is still alive, decides to find him. As she bids Romanoff farewell, a portal opens beneath Carter's feet and transports her to another universe, where she encounters medieval-era variants of Fury and Wanda Maximoff.

Tony interferes in a death race to save one of the racers, Korg, and encounters Gamora, who was sent by Thanos to kill Stark for stopping the Chitauri. The Grandmaster's chief enforcer, Topaz, imprisons Gamora and Stark. Stark escapes, but upon learning of Gamora's purpose, decides to save Sakaar from the Grandmaster.

Valkyrie crashes into Topaz to save Stark's life, causing her staff to hit and melt the Grandmaster. After Valkyrie is crowned king of Sakaar, Stark joins Gamora in confronting Thanos.

Six months later, after ravaging several worlds, Quill returns to Earth. In response, Peggy Carter and Howard Stark assemble a team composed of Bill Foster, King T'Chaka of Wakanda, Bucky Barnes, Dr. Wendy Lawson, and a reluctant Hank Pym, who brings his daughter Hope van Dyne along.

After a scuffle on Coney Island, the team detains Quill with help from Thor. As the team discusses their next move, Van Dyne connects with Quill over music and realises that he returned to earth to come home. Hope frees Quill, who travels to Missouri. Meanwhile T'Chaka, Foster and Thor aid Carter's forces holding back Ego, who has travelled to earth to continue his Expansion. Meanwhile, Pym and Lawson encounter Quill visiting his mother's grave, and a sympathetic Pym convinces him to stand against his father.

The Winter Soldier —under the influence of his Russian handler —prepares to assassinate Quill until Stark reminds him of his best friend, Steve Rogers. Just as Ego overwhelms the heroes and attempts to obtain his seed, Pym and Quill arrive in time to stop him, with Quill using the cosmic energy of the Celestial seedling to destroy Ego's avatar form.

She learns that Yondu located the codes to open the planetary shield and enlists Kree soldier Yon-Rogg to infiltrate the Nova Corps mainframe to destroy them.

Yon-Rogg betrays her, revealing that he and Nova Prime plan to give up Xandar to Ronan. Nebula survives an execution attempt by Nova Prime's men, subsequently enlisting casino owner Howard the Duck and his subordinates Groot and Korg to stop Nova Prime.

During their fight, Nebula reveals she realized Nova Prime's defection when she assigned the mission to her and altered the code so that the shield would close again as the Dark Aster enters Xandar, destroying the ship and killing Ronan.

Nova Prime tries to escape but ultimately falls to her death. The shield reopens as Nebula prepares to continue defending Xandar.
