Luckily, they get help from some unexpected sources in King in Black #2: Namor the Sub-Mariner, Dracula, the lord of the Vampires, Phil Coulson and the Squadron Supreme all join in the battle. But what the heroes don't know is that this means their worst villain, the demonic Mephisto, is actually helping them in this fight.
