3 issue limited series that featured  a competition between the Grandmaster and Death (Unknown for the 1st and 2nd issues) using 12 heroes each. The winner was the first to retrieve pieces of the Golden Globe of Life which were hidden in 4 corners of the earth. The Grandmaster's team consisted of Thing, Captain America, Daredevil, She-Hulk, Talisman, Darkstar, Defensor, Sasquatch, Captain Britain, Wolverine, Le Peregrine, & Blitzkrieg while Death's team consisted of Iron Man, Ironfist, Invisible Girl, Vanguard, Black Panther, Arabian Knight, Sunfire, Shamrock, Storm, Angel, Collective Man, & Sabra. Spider-man was not selected by either to be part of their team so he only appeared in issue 1 and a brief cameo in issue 2. Continued.
