Lady Chaos

Thanos fell in love with Lady Chaos. Since Lady Chaos was amazingly powerful, Thanos’s touch wouldn’t destroy her. The two lived together causing mayhem throughout the universe, until Eternity intervened. He learned of their destructive nature and turned Lady Chaos into a statue. Thanos became furious, and constantly tried to find a way to return Chaos to her living form.

Thanos, crazed to discover the secrets of returning Chaos to him, teams up with Ego the Living Planet. Ego tells him of the great knowledge of the planet eater Galactus. Intent on finding Galactus’s secrets, Thanos invades Surfer’s mind to find Galactus’s secrets. In the process of searching Surfer’s mind, Thanos restores Surfer’s memories. However, Thanos succeeds in finding out that Chaos will return if the universe is in total chaos.

The Surfer finds a series of planets that have been devastated by Thanos, and Surfer rushes to warn the next planet in Thanos' target. It is a planet of Dreamers, and Surfer must awaken one of their heroes, Beta Ray Bill, to help defeat Thanos once and for all. They succeed in defeating Thanos, not by violence, but by sending a dream to him that makes him think that Lady Chaos is back. The Surfer's plan is working and Thanos weakens, but Lady Chaos breaks from her stone prison. "I am free!" she announces.

Both combatants are stunned by the arrival of Lady Chaos. Thanos pleads to his love, but she retorts that he is a vain, foolish creature. Growing larger, she grabs Thanos and crushes him in her palm until he is nothing but purple dust.

"Your victory over my captor weakened him enough to free me, and for that you shall receive the ultimate prize! Join me, Silver Surfer, as Thanos was never allowed. We shall unite to create a new universe devoted entirely to chaos and disaster," Lady Chaos offers. She is still enlarging. Now she engulfs most of the ship.

"No! Never!" Surfer protests. Then, at his bleakest moment, he has an epiphany. The universe-ball pulses with energy. The Surfer thinks energy and chaos… the big bang. The Silver Surfer grabs the energy ball and whips it at Lady Chaos. Suddenly, time begins anew.
