After being held captive for months the
Super-Adaptoid was freed by the
Fixer and set out to get his revenge on the
Avengers. He first recruited the
Awesome Android to his cause and used the Fixers brilliant mind to reprogram him. He then confronted
Machine Man and offered to fix his long lost love
Jocasta if he would join his team. Machine Man accepted and they went to the panhandle of Texas and reprogramed
Sentry 459 and then reprogramed the
TESS-One robot. They then went to Hydrobase and attacked the Avengers that dwelled there. Unknown to the other members of the team the Adaptoid was merely looking for information on the
Cosmic Cube. He found the information he needed and summoned Kubik, a cosmic being that evolved from the cube. Meanwhile the members of the team began to lose one by one, except for Machine Man who joined the Avengers to fight the Adaptoid after he copied Kubiks powers and became almost omnipotent. The Adaptoid eventually lost the battle and the androids and robots were sent to a secure location.
