(Force Works#14) - The Quo Modari were teleported back to the Skrull Tribunal Ship and one Quo Modari showed Black Widow, Scarlet Witch and Spider-Woman refugees of the worlds Starstealth had attacked. Later when the ship fell under the corrupted Recorder's control a Quo Modari was killed by a Bo'sun Stug Bar who was teleported on board by the Recorder.
