the assembled heralds confronted morg together, and terrax used the fact that they were not able to defeat him to convince the surfer to instead try to get help from galactus. while the surfer was gone, air-walker was severely damaged again and morg killed nova by blasting her in the back when he was thought to have been beaten. galactus was not pleased with this, so he removed the power cosmic that he had imbued in morg, leaving him with only the power he'd gained from the pool he'd discovered. in his weakened state, morg was killed by terrax. after the battle both firelord and air walker volunteered to work for galactus in order to gain access to galactus' technology.
