***SPOILERS FOR CHAMPIONS #2***
Issue #2 of Champions has been released and now we know what happened at their battle in Dubai. I know, the title of this post is a little cruel, but...it's true, you know? Mephisto has the best Ace Up The Sleeve he could possibly have. Let me explain why.
In the first issue of the Champions it showed Ms.Marvel Kamala Khan simultaneously coordinating three missions for the Champions. All three missions seemed to go perfectly...except for the one in Dubai. Kamala was leading the team and when they got back everyone seemed to be in good spirits, except for Amadeus Cho and Miles Morales. They seemed to be the only two that knew something bad had happened in Dubai. The final panel showed Mephisto confronting Morales. Issue two explained what happened.
The short of the story, and again, SPOILERS!!! The short of it is a lot of of the team members in Dubai died in the fight against Zzzax. The only two survivors from the fight were Morales and Cho. While they were mourning the loss of their friends, guess who shows up? Mephisto, the "Marvel Universe's Devil." He tells them that he can bring their friends back, as long as one of them asked him to. There was no mention of a "price," just the offer. Miles, quick to want to bring Kamala back, agrees and asks him to bring them back. The battle is reset and they end up victorious.
It seems that Mephisto has some sort of "grand plan" that will involve Miles, and this is his first step in getting Spider-Man under his thumb. The same thing happened when Marvel began Spider-Man's "One More Day," where Mephisto saved the life of Aunt May, but at the price of losing his marriage to Mary Jane and the life that they lived together. It was all wiped out. This, however, seems different. Mephisto is building up to something, and it won't be good.
Champions # 2 is on sale now, so pick it up and follow this one. It's going to be a good one!
