''The Infinity Crusade'' was a CrisisCrossover by Marvel Comics, written by Jim Starlin. It is a sequel to ComicBook/TheInfinityGauntlet and ComicBook/TheInfinityWar.
The antagonist of this miniseries is the Goddess, the good part of Warlock who was created at the same time as the Magus. She tries to use the power of Cosmic Cubes and {{Cult}}like MoreThanMindControl to subvert Earth's more idealistic heroes into serving her so she can establish a [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans Utopia by any means necessary]]. Defeating her required the help of [[EnemyMine Mephisto]].
!Tropes
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: The heroes who serve under the control of the Goddess.
* ConflictBall: The second issue has Maxam and Pip teleport into Avengers Mansion with Reed Richards. Ben Grimm, thinking these people have kidnapped Reed even though he's ''standing right there'', attacks them, and a brawl starts while Reed tries to get everyone to stop.
* DealWithTheDevil: Thanos makes one with Mephisto in order to stop the goddess in ''Crusade''. [[spoiler: But see the spoiler below.]]
* DidYouJustScamCthulhu: Thanos [[spoiler:scams Mephisto at the end of ''Infinity Crusade''. "You wanted a cosmic cube but [[ExactWords didn't specify it had to be functioning]]..."]] This leads to a BadassBoast from Thanos: [[spoiler: "Even devils must be careful when making a deal with Thanos of Titan."]]
* EnemyWithout: Goddess being a rare example of a good-aligned version of the trope.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: When the Goddess' "purifying flames" (i.e. wave of universal destruction) spread out in ''Crusade'', it scorches even ''the person who is reading the comic''. [[spoiler:Fortunately, it was all an illusion implanted by Adam Warlock.]]
* KnightTemplar: Goddess, who is more than willing to destroy all of existence so that she can remake it without evil.
* LetsYouAndHimFight: Much of the action in ''Crusade'' was hero-on-hero. In part because, thanks to mind control, many of the world's villains have surrendered to heroes and are awaiting trial peacefully.
* LightIsNotGood: Despite being decked out in light and wanting to eliminate all evil in existence, the Goddess? Yep. Definitely not good.
