The Energon Universe is expanding at a rapid pace; first with the introduction of ROM in the pages of Void Rivals. And now, this week in M.A.S.K. #3 from Skybound and Image Comics — spoilers past this point — it’s time to welcome the Micronauts. Or at least, villain Baron Karza (with more TBD).
“The record-setting launch of M.A.S.K. shocked and delighted fans, and we’re continuing the exciting momentum with the reprint of this monumental third issue,” said Executive Editor Ben Abernathy via press release. “With the introduction of the mysterious Baron Karza, who knows what could happen next!”
In the issue, we discover that Miles Mayhem, the seeming villain of the series, is actually working for the Micronauts’ big baddie Baron Karza. How, and why — and whether more Micronauts characters will appear — is TBA. It’s interesting not just for bringing in another Hasbro property, but also because Marvel had the license to the characters as recently as 2023, and was printing collections of their old adventures. The assumption at the time was the introduction of the Micronauts in the MCU, which seemed well-timed to Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.
…But I guess something changed, and now at least one of the characters is in the Energon Universe, and potentially more. You can check out the whole page below, and M.A.S.K. #3 is in stores now:
