However, unbeknownst to the web-slinger and the X-Men, eight mystically-powered beings are waiting down below...and they want the power of Phoenix! Can your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and the Uncanny X-men beat the Lords of Light and Darkness? And prevent a global meltdown?

However, the crown's reawakening stirs subconscious memories in the minds of the heroes who have battled the evil icon in the past! So the web-slinger and Doctor Strange plus the Scarlet Witch and Ben Grimm converge on Project Pegasus! But by the time the four heroes arrive, the situation is completely out of control...snake people and serpent crowns everywhere! Can the Master of the Mystic Arts prevent the serpent god Set from returning to Earth? Perhaps, but only if the wall-crawler can locate another famous icon...the cosmic cube! An excellent story!
