    Crystar Returns
    Crystar Returns

    Many years later, Crystar was seen again during the events of Secret Wars, in which Doctor Doom had reformed the universe after it had been destroyed. Crystar had been captured by the evil Morgan le Fay and was seemingly shattered to a pile of crystals. It was however then that Crystar's trusted ally Warbow freed him from his captor together with the barbarian Arkon. While Arkon believed Warbow to be insane to think that the rocks where anything more then just that, it turned out to be possible for the rocks to once again merge together. It was then that Crystar was reborn, save his left arm. Crystar and his friends gathered forces in order to overthrow Morgan le Fey and her evil forces. It was during the final battle against Le Fey that Battleworld seemingly was destroyed and returned to it's normal former self, Earth. What happened to Crystar and his friends is as of yet unknown.
