Issue Number: 9
Release Date: January 1985

Highlights

Colossus goes to fight Galactus, who has begun to devour the planet
The remaining X-Men also attack Galactus
As the remaining heroes race towards the battle aboard a ship, the Hulk sits in depression, concerned that he's losing his grip on both the brains of Bruce Banner, and the brute strength of the Hulk

Spider-Man realizes that he has his webbing back, coming directly from his costume with a mere thought

He lost his web shooters when Reed Richards cannibalized them to repair Iron Man's suit

Reference is made to Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars 4
Reed Richards tells Spider-Man he'd like to examine his suit if / when he gets back to his lab
Reed Richards is convinced there is something more to the Beyonder's and his Battleworld than a cosmic being simply wanting to give the victor all they desire, and he thinks it all has something to do with Galactus
During the fight, Reed finally figures it out, and tells everyone to stop attacking Galactus

If Galactus wins, the Beyonder will grant him his greatest desire - to never have his eternal hunger again, thus ending his need to devour planets
If the Beyonder renigs on the offer, Reed is sure Galactus would then destroy him
Both scenarios are a win for the heroes, even though they all sacrifice their lives when Galactus devours the planet

As he leaves, the other villains beg him to free them, but he tells them, save for one, he doesn't need any of them anymore

Doctor Doom frees Klaw, and tells him to follow him to the lab where he'll be dissected - Klaw simply responds, "Oh, good!" and follows
Reed Richards returns to the heroes and admits he doesn't know if they should fight Galactus, or simply let him devour the plant

The Thing and Human Torch say they'll follow his lead

Captain America, on the other hand, says he's going to fight, and anyone who wants to join him should come along
The battle against Galactus begins again, this time with the giant fighting the heroes directly, versus sending drones
Doom does indeed dissect Kang, who enjoys every minute of it
The members of the Fantastic Four join the fight
The heroes don't listen to Reed Richards, and deviate from their direct attack of Galactus to destroy his world eating machine
Without his machine, Galactus returns to his home, and begins reducing it to raw energy, with the intensions of devouring it
Reed informs the heroes that Galactus doesn't need his world devourer to eat planets, it just makes it easier

Once he eats his home, he'll turn his attention to the planet, and then the sun, being unstoppable

Reed deduces he'll need all of this energy to fight the Beyonder, if it comes down to it

Either way, the heroes won't be able to stop him, and they're as good as dead now

On the planet, Doom has created lenses with Klaw's body parts that will draw all the raw energy of Galactus to him

Order Of Battle: Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars Complete Autographed Set

Due to the increasing size of my comic book collection, I have found it necessary to not only break them up by title, but for some of the larger series, by groups. This will be an ongoing post of my Marvel published Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars titles, as I obtain them. All photos are actual scans.

Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars
