[[Flash Forward]] the [[Marvel Universe]] to about thirty years in the future. Aaron Stack, the Machine Man, is awakened by a monolith. The black slab rips away his synthetic skin and human appearance and transports him to a lost city on the moon. There he is greeted by Uatu, [[The Watcher]], who has been blinded. There, Aaron is told that he is to be the new Watcher, and to release all aspirations to be human. |
