Synopsis for "The Challenge of...The Watcher!"

The Watcher appears before the Human Torch and Thing asking the two for help. Uatu explains that Kang the Conqueror had traveled back in time to Camelot and bested Merlin in battle and took control over the kingdom in a bid to conquer that era. Sending the two heroes back in time, the Thing battles Kang's army of knights with advanced weapons while the Torch breaks into the castle and frees Merlin. With Merlin free the two heroes easily crush Kang's army and force Kang to retreat to another era. In thanks, Uatu sends the two heroes back to their own time.

Synopsis for "Earth Be My Battleground"

Being shunted back to Earth's dimension following his battle with Shazana, Dr. Strange once more becomes a target of Baron Mordo who is still benefiting from an entire army of followers and having his mystical might bolstered by Dormammu's powers. However in the Dark Dimension Clea helps Dr. Strange gain the upper hand by unleashing the Mindless Ones in order to keep Dormammu busy long enough for Strange to bind Mordo and his minions in molecules. With Mordo defeated, Dr. Strange returns to the Ancient One and probes his master's mind to learn that the one entity that may be able to save him is known as Eternity. Meanwhile, having restored order to the Dark Dimension, Dormammu begins to wonder who caused the Mindless Ones to get out.
