Alcott Mansion plays host to a lavish party. Everyone who is anyone is in attendance, including independent millionaire Victor Laudin.
Vic is introduced to Sue Pearlman as being a "super hero" having recently saved Manhattan from a terrorist threat. Sue is pleased to meet a legend, who she honestly did not believe existed. Sue learns that Victor is faster and stronger than a normal man as well as a mysterious sixth sense allowing him to know things others do not.
Sue asks him how he gained his special abilities, but Victor does not want to talk about it. When she pushes the issue, Victor's eyes flash and her drink erupts in a spout of flame before he storms away.
Victor's girlfriend Cathy catches up to him and they discuss is presence at the affair. Victor is uncomfortable being here for multiple reasons, but primarily because a group of mysterious individuals have told him that he is interfering with human destiny. He is uncertain what to do.
Elsewhere the three mysterious individuals are disappointed that Victor has chosen not to join them and what decide that what he chose not to do he will be forced to do.
Back at the party Victor sense the presence of the mysterious figures shortly before they burst through the door. When confronted by one of the guests, Dreamweaver make him see a dragon from his hand causing him to faint. The Pulsar pushes aside the guests with waves of force to drive Victor forward and they are rewarded for their efforts when Victor attacks. Victor is outnumbered by the fantastic abilities of the others and is soon overpowered and rendered unconscious.
When Victor regains consciousness he is outside and is asked to listen before continuing his fight. Pulsar explains that all four of them are hybrids of humans and an alien race called the Kiron. It was an experiment which was deemed a failure as humans are not ready to accept the existence of extra-terrestrials. He is asked to leave Earth and join them but still he refuses. Nepenthes instructed to force the issue, but suddenly his mask erupts into flame. Pulsar returns the attack and begins to share blows with Victor. Dreamweaver assume the shape of a gigantic monster but Victor recognizes the illusion and knocks her out. Unfortunately it is enough to distract Victor and Pulsar prepares to deliver one final blow but finds he is out of power. Victor knocks him to the ground with one final punch and tells him to leave him alone before calmly walking away.

In the year 2525, humanity began to abandon the Earth. By 2365 the United States fell to a revolution placing a Monarchy in place of democracy. Each city fell to the rule of individual Lords while the general population lived in constant fear.
The Outsiders, possibly a small group of five, has broken through building defences. Guards attempt to hold them off but cannot match their skills since The Outsiders are human while the guards are only robots.
Sprit pays the doctor a visit, preparing to go outside the compound on official business.
Her fitness is assessed and she is properly immunized then given an electronic belt to wrap around her leg to use as needed.
Although Spirit is a adept and ruthless fighter, she was taken by surprise by a robot called Sick Machine and taken to Mangonel, the king. She awakens painfully and pounces on Mangonel then holds a weapon to his head.
Before she can shoot, Mangonel asks why she is doing this, calling her Tania. He explains that she had been taken away; that she is his queen. She remembers him as her husband John, but due to her programming she cannot stop herself and sheds a tear.

Christie promises to stop dealing with underage girls, and Grendel accepts his offer... before plunging his fork through his neck.
Grendel takes Christie's personal ledgers and notes and joins his men in the street, but before they can make their escape they are confronted by Argent.
His devil-like appearance strikes fear into Grendel's men. He offers them a chance to runs as he only wants their boss. The make the wrong choice, firing their weapons but are quickly killed by Argent's bare hands.
