List of Marvel Family Enemies - Invaders From Infinity

Invaders From Infinity

Only appearing in "Marvel Family" #36. Resemble giant fireballs. They are first seen from a watchtower on Pluto who think they are meteors and radio their headquarters on Neptune. However the inhabitants are killed by the fireballs, which then move away from Pluto. The United Nations contact the Marvels after Neptune contacts them about the fireballs which are attacking them. The Marvels go there, and finding nothing on the surface they go underground, thinking the Neptunians must be a mole-like race. Captain Marvel Jr. find wreckage and think the Neptunians might have all been killed. The Marvel Family shouts loudly at the suggestion of Captain Marvel, but still finding nobody, so they leave Neptune. However after this happens the fireballs reappear and reveal they plan to crush all resistance in this corner of the universe, then they will systematically demolish all forms of matter, then have a limitless empty infinity of space in which to live. The Marvels then go to Jupiter, although they imply they went to Neptune and Saturn and found no trace of civilization there. Captain Marvel thinks the Jupiterians must be tall like their buildings, but when they meet the Jupiterians, who despite their tall buildings are short and wide, which Mary Marvel alludes to the high gravitational mass, which according to them is 300 times that of Earth. The scientists claim the fireballs are actually a form of life, and the Marvels deduce with their incredible intellects they come from Infinity, the realm beyond the Universe. The Jupiterians are confident their space fleets will destroy the fireballs, but their weapons do not destroy the fireballs, meaning the Marvels after saving the ships have to evacuate the planet Jupiter and clear a path through the asteroid belt. They receive a report the fireballs are attacking Mars. The Jupiterians say the Martians are a warlike treacherous race and that this must be a trick, but the Marvels go there anyway. The Martian leader who resembles a humanoid military dictator surrenders, but understands the fireballs thoughts and realizes they want them to help in the conquest of the Solar System. When the Marvels arrive they are attacked, and Mary Marvel realizes the Martians have sold out to the invaders. The Martians finally surrender and the Marvels go to Earth, although they know the Fireballs are invulnerable to every known weapon. The Marvels battle and are enveloped by the Fireballs, but are able to free themselves, realizing neither can hurt the other. They work out a formula for a basic finite substance through which no Infinite substance can pass, and construct a prison of it, luring the Fireballs into it. They then defeat the Martians, and are told by the Jupiterians they will drop the Martians off on their way back to Jupiter and that the Martians will always be thankful to the Marvels. The Marvels check the Fireballs, but find they have burnt out as imprisonment of any kind was fatal to them which is why they wanted to destroy the Solar System for more space.
