Okay. Cool. We got him. The Star King is trapped. That’s… good, right? Except hang on: He still has the team’s closest friends god knows where, they still have the Star Princes to worry about and—oh yeah—there’s still the last phase of the plan to *checks notes* rewrite an entire chapter of reality.

If you’re trying to trap a god, what do you use as bait? Why, everything, of course. It will take some of the team’s finest minds to lure the Star King into a snare, while a completely different set of equally fine minds try to lure his Princes to a battlefield the good guys control. We’ve got Thinkers, and we’ve got Bruisers, and everybody has their work cut out for them.
