and they continued their quest to get home. Betrayal and theorized heritage Eventually, Bishop and Deathbird return to the Sol System and encountered the inert planetary mass of the Living Monolith on their way to Terra Firma. Curious, the two land their craft and investigate the man-shaped planet. Suddenly Deathbird betrayed Bishop to a cadre of Skrulls and he was returned to Earth in order to implement the ultimate plans of the Skrulls' ally, Apocalypse.

The Rise and Fall of the Shi'ar Empire Deathbird was rescued by the Imperial Guard; Lilandra imprisoned her because she posed a threat to her rule. Vulcan is captured by the palace guard as he enters Shi'ar territory on his quest for vengeance against the entire Shi'ar race. He is incarcerated in the same maximum
