Synopsis

Iceman's father has died back in 1942, decades before his son was ever born. Bobby's life literally flashes before his eyes as he finds himself in the presence of the entity, Oblivion. Bobby has effectively ceased to exist with Oblivion his only link to a life. Oblivion sends Iceman to retrieve his daughter, Mirage, who is hiding in time from her father as the young woman, Marge Smith. Iceman finds Marge but she fights him as she doesn't want to return home. When Mirage cuts Iceman down, she curses her father and they both appear back in the presence of Oblivion.
