Synopsis for "He Loves You - Part 1 of 3: The Darwin Awards"

"Longshot" (actually Nogor the Talisman) "pressed his luck" by making provocative statements to Darwin about Detroit and the people in it because his powers had been "a bit of a hit or miss lately" and wanted to see where he stood. An angered man attacked Darwin and waterboarded him with a fire hydrant before Nogor frightened him by insisting that his teammate may have developed gills. Darwin's father talked to Multiple Man and Siryn at X-Factor Investigations looking for him. Hector whispered the word "Mutants" to them, although Siryn claimed that their office wasn't bugged. In reality, Val Cooper was eavesdropping on their conversation. The name "Armando Muñoz" sounded familiar to the blonde woman and she searched it up to find Darwin's picture.

Hector continued to tell X-Factor Investigations about his relationship with Armando while the latter and Nogor fled from the locals. Jazinda, who was present when the locals searched for Darwin and Nogor, followed her fellow Skrull to an alley. Multiple Man assured Mr. Muñoz that they had the manpower to find Darwin and duplicated himself. Later, Val Cooper came to Multiple Man and Strong Guy with an assignment for their agency. Multiple Man wanted to focus on Darwin, but the blonde threatened to reveal to his agency that O*N*E "had him in its back pocket" and gave him twenty-four hours to wrap up the Darwin case. Nogor caught up with Darwin, who revealed that Jazinda was following them.

The Skrull impersonating Longshot ran while Jazinda told She-Hulk to cut him off. Darwin, who believed that Nogor was the real Longshot, attempted to stop her. Siryn called Multiple Man to inform him that one of his dupes saw Darwin travel with "Longshot." M also intervened and attacked Jazinda before pinning her down followed by She-Hulk charging at her.
