Later, Doctor Doom's body was destroyed by the explosion of cosmic energy in which the alien Tyros, formerly known as Terrax, perished. Doom survived by psionically transferring his consciousness into the body of an onlooker just before Doom's own body was destroyed.

Kristoff decided that the reason he possessed a child's body was that his consciousness had been transferred into it by an enemy.
