Friendship is a powerful thing. It can sometimes cross reality rewrites. Why is this important to A-Force? What is A-Force? Well then, let’s find out!
Two universes were about to collide with one another, there was a chance at saving some, Battle World was born. Disparate realms were made with the survivors of the universes, one such realm was Arcadia. A matriarchal society that had A-Force, as its team of heroes to defend it against any dangers their side of Battle World might encounter.
One such danger began with deadly intruders entering their realm through portals of unknown origin. Lead by She-Hulk, the A-Force would try to solve this ever growing threat. The team believed they had found a suspect in the cosmic entity, Singularity, a girl with powers that seemed like she might have been doing this, possibly unknowingly, but it soon became clear that she was just another piece of the puzzle.
Singularity would befriend A-Force member, Nico Minoru, first but soon the rest of the team, Medusa, Captain Marvel, and Dazzler, all came to see this new member as family. It would be revealed that the portals were a plan by Loki to make A-Force and She-Hulk look inept, allowing Loki to take over as ruler of Arcadia.
While the team is able to stop her from taking over, Loki’s last attack breaks down part of the wall of Battle World that kept out a massive horde of zombies. As the team fought to stay alive, Singularity would sacrifice herself to stop the zombies. The team grieved all their losses from this plot but were hopeful that Singularity may survive someway thanks to her powers.
Reality was remade, Battle World returned to being the 616 Universe, A-Force wasn’t a team anymore, just heroes who had worked together as Avengers or in other team ups. Then Singularity arrived, remembering all her friends but all of them seeming to have no recollection of their time in Arcadia.
She would arrive but she was being hunted by a being known as Antimatter, who was willing to destroy anyone who got in its way to her. Singularity would end up reuniting A-Force to help stop Antimatter from destroying her and the world. The team would start working together with new problems popping up for them to solve until the team chose to disband.
There you have it! A-Force started as a team from another dimension but was able to find its way into the mainline universe. It was around briefly but the idea is out there now. Chances are a new team A-Force can form, or the original gets the band back together. We’ll have to wait to find out. See you next time!
