When Annihilus and his armies swarmed forth from the Negative Zone, the heroes of Earth were hard pressed to turn them back. Part of a last chance strike team, Andrea had suffered heavy damage already, her skin almost all blasted away, her legs blown off.
With little more than the fading strength in her arms, she had dragged herself closer to the Living Death Who Walks.
"There are three facts..." she began, her voice crackling and breaking into static, "that you should be aware of. At this range, my 4-D battery cell, when detonated, will be enough to overcome even your power. Two, my self-destruct sequence takes ten seconds to fully cycle."
Her eyes flickered. "And three... I started it nine seconds ago."
People would later report having been able to see the explosion as far away as New Jersey.
There were back-ups of Andrea's personality and memories stored in the Baxter Building, of course. And they could have built another body. But would that have just been a copy? A xerox of the Andrea they had all come to know and love?
It was decided to leave well enough alone.
