History
The Annihilation Wave were one of the factions that joined the newly formed Galactic Council where Annihilus himself provided a venue for them to meet one another. They later served as one of the alien empires that worked to discuss and combat the threat posed by the Builders.
Following the regroup of the Galactic Council, Annihilus revealed to his comrades that a second great Annihilation Wave had been assembled and ready to join the battle. However, Gladiator recalled the events of the first wave and asked if Annihilus could control his forces to which he replied that he could not. Thus, the Council debated on their action as it meant the potential defeat of the Builders but at the risk of the Wave consuming all known space. This resulted in Captain America offering another alternative which was negotiation with the Builders where one of the alien entities being present on the Kree homeworld. (Avengers v5 #20) Despite the return of the Kree and renewed assault, the allies were unable to stem the Builder advance. This led to the allies opening a wormhole into the Negative Zone leading to a large swarm from the Annihilation Wave entering into normal space. These forces attacked the enemy and managed to overwhelm the Aleph warriors until one of the Builders tapped into their biology forcing the swarm to attack itself. Thus, the Annihilation Wave was stopped at their forces became decimated through the Builder's interference in their hive mind. (Avengers v5 #21)
