The Infinity Gauntlet has been retrieved from the mad Titan Thanos, and a small celebration is underway at the Greenwich Village home of Dr. Strange. However, when Gamora and Pip the Troll arrive uninvited, they inform Dr. Strange that they require a little assistance with their companion, Adam Warlock.The vast powers he controls through the Infinity Gems are affecting Warlock.

Stunned by such a declaration, Dr. Strange knows he must act. But can the Sorcerer Supreme stand against one with the powers of a God?
