The prophecy of the Sakaarson is revealed as a lie! Old Sam was a member of a dwindling sect of the Shadow People who attempted to archive the scientific knowledge of their race even as most of their people descended into mysticism. It was he that spread the prophecy of the Sakaarson who would save their people from the Spikes, and created the wormhole that attracted first the people of the Red King. Following the trail of the Wildebots to Okini, they are shocked to find that the Red King still lives, and professes to have changed his ways after his confrontation with the Hulk. Having been saved by the Wildebots, he claims to seek redemption. To that end, he's recovered the technology of the Shadow People with the goal of giving Skaar the Old Power. But can he be trusted?
