The Korvac Saga
Michael was born to Jordan and Myra Korvac on Luna in 2977. Due to events surrounding his birth, Michael's father was killed and he was raised by his mother to have a hateful and vengeful attitude. When the Sol System and its colonies were conquered by the Brotherhood of Badoon, Korvac became a collaborator and traitor to the human race.
The aliens grafted his body to a machine as a cruel prank, making him a cyborg and leaving him despondent and reinforcing his hatred towards the universe. Planning to conquer the universe for himself, Korvac launched a campaign against the free peoples of the cosmos. During this time, he was plucked from the future and made to compete in a game of combat by the Grandmaster. After his return to his native time, he was defeated in battle by the Guardians of the Galaxy and quickly escaped to the twentieth century.
Upon his arrival, Korvac discovered the space station of Galactus. Attempting to download the knowledge of Galactus from the station onto his own system, Korvac somehow became imbued with the Power Cosmic and became a god-like being. He then traveled straight to Earth, hoping to make it into his own personal utopia.
The Elder of the Universe known as the Collector had foreseen the coming of two beings that would be capable of challenging the Elders (Korvac and Thanos), so he remade his own daughter Carina into a being of incredible power to use as a weapon against them. Sending her to Korvac in New York to be his wife, the Collector's plans fell apart when he was defeated by the Avengers.
Tracking down Korvac in Forest Hills Gardens with the help of the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Avengers arrived at the house and started talking with what appeared to them to be an unassuming couple. Unfortunately for Korvac, the decision to alter Starhawk so that he could not perceive Korvac in any way backfired. When the Avengers were about to leave, Starhawk informed the others that he was completely unable to perceive Korvac and he reacted in anger that no one was there. The Avengers and the other Guardians then knew, as did others. Michael had been slowly realigning the universe for good keeping his moves a secret, but now realized that his existence had just become evident to the other cosmic entities of the universe including Odin and myself, Uatu, who were turning our gaze in his direction. Korvac was saddened that his plans were ruined, and he and the superheroes fought. He easily killed all of them except for the most powerful such as Thor who were unconscious but would live, but willingly gave up his own life and his dream when he saw doubts in his wife. Michael and Carina both died as a result.
Only Moondragon sympathized with Michael. Korvac never wanted anyone to die; he only wished to build a better world for the human race and revealed that with his last ounce of power, he had returned life to the beaten Avengers. Manipulating the memories of all those present, Moondragon left Thor's alter ego, Dr. Don Blake, to heal his fallen comrades before disappearing herself for a time, haunted by the memory of what the Avengers had done. The Avengers buried the Korvacs in a private cemetery in Queens, New York and paid their respects in a funeral for their fallen enemies.
