Ok, wasn't in his solo series. It's from Jack Kirby's Fourth World #5
Metron: "The device allegedly created to destroy the entire universe!
Yes...my initial recordings were correct. This mechanism can tap into the very fabric of the universe at a quantum level. "
Metron: "However, there is also one power in the universe which my readings indicate would be up to the task of containing that effect, should the bomb be triggered. The Astro-Force, once wielded by Orion" (Note: Orion was dead, and had just come back to Life. Orion did not know he was alive at this point)
Metron:"There must be someone else capable of containing that nearly infinite power."
Metron: "The oblivion bomb is activated! There is no means by which it can be stopped!" (No means? Metron literally just said the Astro-Force could do it, and he just found out Orion was alive 😬)
Orion: "You are always and ever too grim, Metron! There is nothing that I cannot cause to be undone!"
