Description:  Last 35-cent cover price. The Space Phantom and Tempus guest star in "Rites of Passage!" Script by Mark Gruenwald and Ralph Macchio, pencils by Keith Pollard, inks by Pablo Marcos. Cameos by the original Avengers, the Enchantress, and Kang. Cover price $0.35. Tempus is an enormous humanoid who dwells in Limbo and serves Immortus. An immortal creature created from the stuff of Limbo, he views his undying nature as a curse, and often remarks that he would consider execution a suitable reward for his services to Immortus. The Destiny War was ignited when Immortus sent Tempus to kill an apparently critically ill Rick Jones on the moon. He was defeated by Kang the Conqueror,[volume & issue needed] but was later rejuvenated in the same series by Immortus and sent to fight Hawkeye.[volume & issue needed] Tempus' plan to defeat the hero by regressing him backwards through time to the point of non-existence backfired when Hawkeye regained his lost size changing abilities, granting him enough power to defeat Tempus again
