Mark took to the skies, absorbing the energy of every sun in the surrounding solar systems, each one amplifying his strength. By the time Tetramand emerged from the black hole, he was met by a Mark transformed—glowing with the fiery golden light of a thousand suns, his power now beyond comprehension.
With a roar that shook the cosmos, Mark unleashed a devastating punch, the energy of countless suns and cosmic forces channeled through his fist. The impact shattered the black hole, ripped through the fabric of reality, and hurled them both through glimpses of various dimensions before finally thrusting them back into their own.
Tetramand crash-landed on Earth with such force that the planet itself was threatened with destruction. The ground quaked, the sky darkened, and the air crackled with energy as Tetramand lay unconscious in the massive crater his impact had created.
Above him, Mark hovered, his entire body radiating the fiery gold of a thousand suns, his form a blazing beacon of power. The energy coursing through him was overwhelming, his transformation complete. He was no longer just Mark McCoy—he was a being of pure cosmic power, ready to end this battle once and for all.
Despite having Tetramand at his mercy, Mark hesitated. His compassion got the better of him as he looked down at his unconscious brother. Unable to bring himself to end Tetramand's life, Mark left him lying in the ruins and took off to check on Zipporah and his child. Upon his arrival, a wave of relief washed over him as he saw them safe, and Zipporah, who had fully recovered over the years, embraced him warmly. They shared a tender moment, but just as Mark was about to depart with them, a sudden force interrupted their peace.
Tetramand, far from being defeated, had regained consciousness and struck with vicious precision. He caught Mark off guard, launching him into the air and pummeling him with cosmic punches, each blow resonating with devastating impact. The relentless assault left Mark with no time to recover, and before he could counter, Tetramand seized him in a crushing embrace, the sheer force causing Mark’s bones to crack under the pressure.
"Don't you see, brother? You're the only one nearly as strong as me," Tetramand growled, tightening his grip, the sound of Mark's bones breaking echoing in his ears. Mark screamed in agony, blood pouring from his eyes, ears, and mouth as his strength began to wane. Desperate, he attempted to headbutt Tetramand, but it had little effect.
In a moment of desperation, Mark's suit, sensing his critical condition, activated an emergency protocol and injected Tetramand with the ultra K9 virus. Simultaneously, Mark mustered the last of his strength and bit deep into Tetramand’s neck, tearing away flesh with a ferocity born of survival. The wound was severe, and Tetramand bled profusely, his grip on Mark weakening as the virus began to take hold.
Realizing the danger, Tetramand summoned the last of his strength and took off into space with Mark in tow. His plan was to alter his molecular structure and assume Mark's form, but as his transformation began, Mark broke free, seizing Tetramand by the shoulders. With an almost primal roar, Mark tore at his brother, ripping him apart before he could complete his transformation.
But Tetramand had one final, desperate move. As his body was being torn asunder, he began to channel all his remaining cosmic energy into a catastrophic explosion that would obliterate everything in its path. Realizing the magnitude of the threat, Mark acted swiftly, tearing Tetramand’s remains from him and propelling them into a dying dimension, one devoid of life.
The explosion that followed was cataclysmic, shattering and erasing the dimension from existence. The shockwave from the blast was so powerful that it reverberated across other dimensions, shaking them to their core but sparing them from total annihilation.
Caught in the heart of the explosion, Mark was overwhelmed by the sheer force and energy. His body, battered and broken, floated unconscious in the void, lost in the vastness of space as the echoes of their battle slowly faded into silence.
Thirty-five years had passed since Mark McCoy's disappearance and his last encounter with Tetramand. In that time, Earth had undergone a transformation like never before. The scars of the past were still etched in the hearts of its people, but they had rebuilt, healed, and evolved. The world had become a utopia, a beacon of hope not just for humanity but for life across the galaxy and beyond the multiverse. Civilization thrived, and Earth's resources had flourished, attracting beings from distant worlds who sought refuge and a new beginning.
Amanda Mandy Baraq, now an elderly woman, had taken on the mantle of leadership as the planet's president. She carried the legacy of her late father and the fallen heroes who had fought to protect their world. On this day, as the world gathered to honor the memories of those who had perished, Amanda stood at the podium, her gaze steady as she prepared to address not only the global audience but also those within the artificial universe, now residing in the pocket dimension created by GreenStar would experience her speech virtually. Beside her was Zipporah, the last surviving member of the original Guardians of Earth, who had become not only Amanda's personal guardian but also a close friend. Zipporah had watched over Amanda as she navigated the challenges of leading a world that had once teetered on the brink of annihilation.
Teldrea, now a teenager, stood proudly beside Zipporah, a testament to the resilience and strength of the Guardians. Behind them were new heroes, a diverse mix of terrestrials and extraterrestrials, who had taken up the mantle to protect Earth. Among the honored guests was Mark Grayson Junior, sitting with his teenage daughter Lydia, both of whom listened intently to Amanda's speech.
Amanda spoke with a voice that carried the weight of history and the promise of the future. She recounted the events that had shaped their world, the battles fought, and the lives lost. Her words resonated with the audience, instilling a sense of pride and hope for what they had achieved and what was still to come. The world had changed, but the memories of their struggles remained, a reminder that anything was possible when people came together.
As Amanda spoke, something extraordinary was happening across the world and beyond. People were discovering abilities they never knew they had, some chosen by destiny, others by the universe itself. New heroes were emerging, and whispers of ancient powers resurfacing filled the air. Yet, elsewhere, in the expanse of the void, Mark McCoy was being rescued. Dimensional beings, ancient and mysterious, found him adrift in the emptiness and brought him back to life, healing his wounds and restoring his strength. They prepared him for his return to his universe, where his presence would once again be needed.
A year later, Earth faced a new crisis. A powerful being, stronger than any they had encountered, had appeared, effortlessly defeating the heroes who stood against her. In desperation, they called for Zipporah and Teldrea, hoping that their combined strength would be enough. But when they arrived, they found the battle already won.
Hovering in the sky, with his back to them, was a figure the heroes had only heard of in stories and legends. Zipporah and Teldrea, both stunned, recognized him instantly. It was Mark, returned from the void, his presence almost surreal. Emotions overwhelmed them as they flew towards him, embracing him in midair with tears of joy and disbelief. The sight of their reunion left the other heroes in awe, their whispers filling the air.
Some had heard tales of Mark McCoy, the cosmic guardian who had once saved the universe. Others had seen images of him, believed to be nothing more than myths. But here he was, alive and real, standing among them once again. The legend had returned, and with him, the hope of a brighter future. Together, they apprehended the villainess, and with Mark by their side, they headed back to their headquarters, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
The arrival of Mark McCoy at the Guardians HQ was a moment of immense relief and celebration. Amanda and Mark Junior rushed to the headquarters as soon as news of Mark's return reached them. Their eyes widened with disbelief and joy upon seeing him once again. Embracing Mark, they shared their experiences and the changes that had occurred since his last encounter with Tetramand. The world had evolved, and they were eager to catch him up on the progress and challenges they had faced.
As days passed, Mark seamlessly resumed his role as a hero, fighting alongside the new members of the Guardians of Earth, Zipporah, and Teldrea. Together, they worked tirelessly to protect the planet and the universe from emerging threats, their combined efforts ensuring the safety and prosperity of their world.
In this new chapter of his life, Mark and Zipporah deepened their bond, and their love resulted in the birth of their daughter, Teldra. Teldra was cherished not only by her parents but also by Teldrea, who embraced her as part of the extended family. Their happiness was evident, and the unity of the Guardians continued to inspire hope and resilience.
The world that had once been scarred by conflict and destruction had now found peace and prosperity, with Mark, Zipporah, and their family at the heart of its future. Their legacy of heroism and dedication to safeguarding the universe became a beacon of hope for all.

Over the years, Tetraman has accomplished the impossible across the multiverse, his deeds recognized by both mortals and immortals alike. He possesses the strength to shoulder-press the weight of the universe for three days and separate colliding universes. His heat vision is so potent that it can mend the void, surpassing the power of any known star, and is capable of incapacitating ghosts, abstract entities, and otherworldly beings. His breath is powerful enough to vanquish supernatural entities and ghosts.
Tetraman's power extends to tearing apart the limbo from chaos and dragging the fundamental structure of the multiverse to new dimensions with a cosmic chain. He can contend with nigh-omnipotent beings and sometimes emerge victorious, depending on the circumstances. He has survived blasts from omnipotent beings capable of creating and destroying universes.
His durability is extraordinary; he has withstood the collision of two dying planets, endured a quantum-omniversal bomb that could erase the entire Omniverse, and survived a devastating punch from the archangel Michael that could have shattered a fraction of the multiverse. Despite Michael gaining the upper hand during their initial, misunderstood confrontation. Tetraman fought bravely.
Tetraman also survived being cut in half by a holy blade wielded by a seraphim angel and withstood two powerful punches from a cherubim and a throne angel, which shook the very essence of creation. He endured the combined forces of two potent holy magic spells: Doxomedon, the Aeon of Aeons, and the light of Eleleth, the archangel of light, and Abrasax, the angel of light, which have the power to erase any evil or darkness from existence without a trace.
Tetraman has demonstrated his unparalleled speed by outpacing a powerful cosmic goddess who could perceive beyond the future and all possibilities of the multiverse. His strength allows him to move astral planes with the aid of several magical beings and deities. He has also held the vast realms of Heaven and Hell in place, working with high-ranking angels and benevolent demons to prevent them from colliding and threatening all of creation.
His might extends to contending with and defeating figures like Buddha. He has engaged Hercules, Zeus, Thor, and the biblical Samson in contests of physical strength, emerging victorious each time. Tetraman has proven himself worthy of lifting Thor's Mjölnir and has fought against Almighty Gods such as JASSEDG, who bestowed a fraction of divine power upon him to combat a ruthless, malevolent demonic god.
Tetraman, aided by numerous heroes, gods, and powerful magic users, was strong enough to lift Satan from the ground—a being greater than eternity itself. His durability and power are such that he fought alongside Odin and Thor in Asgard for ten thousand years to stave off Ragnarok.
Tetraman’s power is such that he has withstood battling in an enchanted realm of unholy magic for thousands of years alongside mystical beings, even as the magic gradually drained his abilities. He has held his own against the embodiment and concept of death, a force so absolute that it could not claim his soul.
Tetraman has survived being erased from existence, with timelines literally revolving around him. He has fought and defeated numerous mystical creatures, and his cold breath is strong enough to freeze ghosts and intangible beings that are otherwise imperceptible. His tetra visions allow him to see through the infinite expanse of creation, perceiving abstract entities, souls, and the very essence of beings across the cosmos.
His speed is extraordinary; he can fly to the edge of the universe in attoseconds and shatter reality itself, breaking the bonds and expanse of infinity. Tetraman has also raced against other curtechyian speedsters from various dimensions—whether human, alien, or otherworldly—each with unique abilities. Though not the fastest, Tetraman’s efforts have earned him recognition from the speedsters he has encountered.
Tetraman has proven his strength and resilience by holding his own against the Ultra family from the Earth1A-multiverse-universeX24 due to a mistaken identity, eventually forging an alliance with them. He has also stood his ground against Pussycat, a deity of incomprehensible power, and has faced the Omega Titan, the Observer, and many other formidable foes. Tetraman has battled countless clones and evil versions of himself, even confronting an immensely powerful version of Tetraman from another dimension to a standstill.
His cold breath was powerful enough to freeze an entire dying universe on the brink of being consumed by anti-life and anti-matter, preserving it long enough for him to use his heat vision to restart the universe with a new Big Bang. His wind breath is so forceful that it can blow entire solar systems away. Tetraman has even caused the entire World of Void to shake on several occasions simply by walking.
Tetraman's intelligence matches his power. He comprehends the intricate complexity and structure of the multiverse’s nature and imbalance. His acumen allows him to outsmart even the god of wisdom and uncover the very source of mystical existence—an enigma that most mystical beings are unable to grasp.
Tetraman is also capable of studying and utilizing magic, though he doesn’t pursue it actively. His superhearing is so advanced that he can detect the heartbeat of creation itself. He can perceive intangible forms, such as abstract entities like death and ghosts, or beings that can become intangible or phase themselves.
He has gone toe-to-toe with Unkillable, a being completely impervious to omnicide and possessing omnicide himself. Their battle stretched across almost eternity, driven by Unkillable's search for a worthy opponent to match his strength and power.
Tetraman has resisted DNA manipulation and editing attempts from an alternate Teknight, demonstrating the futility of replicating his hybrid biology. His willpower and resistance against demonic possession and astral manipulation are exceptionally strong.
In an alternate universe, Tetraman was summoned to fight alongside the heroes of that realm to defend against a great evil—an embodiment and concept of evil so immense that its mere presence could tear apart the fabric of the universe and drive the cosmos to madness. Despite the overwhelming threat, Tetraman ultimately defeated this malevolent force with a powerful, immersive punch.
In another alternate reality, Tetraman faced and single-handedly defeated a being known as Plot Armor. This entity’s power was vast and ineffable, virtually invincible, and capable of overcoming even the most formidable beings across existence. It was immune to linear time, and even almighty gods and cosmic entities feared its might. Despite its undefeated record, Plot Armor fell to Tetraman’s extraordinary prowess.
Tetraman's greatest feat came when he confronted an entity known as the Endless—a being whose presence was beyond comprehension, transcending concept, perception, and existence itself. Existing before creation began, the Endless defied description, surpassing even the notion of ineffability. Many had attempted to confront the Endless and failed, their fates beyond the grasp of death itself, and to be erased by the Endless was considered an act of mercy, as the suffering endured was incomprehensibly greater than any known agony.
Tetraman did not defeat the Endless but instead achieved the unprecedented by merging with it. This idea had never occurred to other entities, who were focused solely on defeating the Endless to gain its ineffable powers. By merging with the Endless, Tetraman transcended all known limits, becoming a being of untold power and infinite potential. He was reborn as "Tetraman of the Endless God Prime One Trillion," embodying an existence beyond all description, concept, and perception.
The End!
