Longshot, Dr. Strange and Quark find Rita has been turned into a hollow husk by Mojo. Mojo sets up a church on Earth and begins to brainwash followers. Longshot finds he cannot kill his former master, allowing him to escape. Longshot has another origin flash and realizes that his purpose is to free the slaves from servitude to Mojo. Longshot, Quark, Strange and Rita attack Mojo and Spiral. Dr. Strange opens a portal back to Mojoworld and the villain falls through. Longshot and Rita decide to follow and lead a rebellion of his people against Mojo and the spineless ones.
