The Watcher recruits Strange Supreme, Captain Carter, Star-Lord T’Challa, “Party” Thor, Black Panther Killmonger, and a version of Gamora who killed Thanos[a] from their respective universes to battle Ultron, dubbing them the “Guardians of the Multiverse”. They confront Ultron in a lifeless universe where Strange summons a horde of zombies, which Ultron overpowers. In Ultron’s home universe, the Guardians encounter Natasha Romanoff. With Carter’s help, Romanoff shoots Ultron with an arrow containing Arnim Zola’s mind. Zola destroys Ultron from within and takes control of his body, while Killmonger betrays the Guardians and tries to claim Ultron’s Infinity Stones for himself. As Zola and Killmonger struggle over the Stones, Strange and the Watcher seal them in a time-looped pocket dimension, which Strange agrees to watch over. The Watcher returns Strange, Carter, T’Challa, Gamora, and Thor to their respective universes. Romanoff refuses to return to hers, so the Watcher brings her to one in which the Avengers candidates were assassinated,[b] where she helps defeat Loki. In a mid-credits scene, Carter and her universe’s Romanoff discover the Hydra Stomper armor with someone inside.
