Contest of Champions
The Elder of the Universe, called The Grandmaster, and a hooded female, eventually revealed to be Death, played a game for the fate of his fellow Elder, The Collector. They used various heroes from around the world to collect the four pieces of the "Golden Globe of Life." If the Grandmaster's team collected the most pieces, the Collector will live again. If Death's team collected the most pieces, the Collector will remain dead.
The Grandmaster’s team consisted of Captain America, Talisman, Darkstar, Captain Britain, Wolverine, Defensor, Sasquatch, Daredevil, Peregrine, She-Hulk, the Thing, and Blitzkrieg. And Death’s team retained Iron Man, Vanguard, Iron Fist, Shamrock, Storm, Arabian Knight, Sabra, the Invisible Woman, Angel, the Black Panther, Sunfire, and Collective Man. The Grandmaster's team won, although as drawn the game actually ended in a tie, only for the Grandmaster to learn that to revive The Collector he would have to die. He accepted.
It was later revealed that this was precisely what the Grandmaster had intended from the beginning, since he wanted to infiltrate the Realm of the Dead, and ultimately trick Death into giving all Elders of the Universe true immortality. He succeeded.
