After the Masters of Evil attacked the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier in the name of Doctor Doom, Nick Fury decided to create a superhuman task force called "the Ultimate Alliance" in order to defeat Doctor Doom and the Masters. Using the M'Kraan Crystal and the Muonic Inducer, the heroes managed to steal a portion of Doom's power and use it against him. Finally, when he was weakened enough, Odin recovered his powers and teleported Doom for his punishment. Finally, Nick Fury disbanded the Ultimate Alliance as they are not needed again, yet.
