Colberton barely survived the actions of Yuri Osaka. Some, like Keith Douglas-Sanders, must deal with the trauma of what they witnessed. One hero is clearly not enough to protect the city, much less the world from the Other Threat that encroaches. Abel informs Votary that he must begin recruiting additional warriors to his cause. Votary enlists a man who uses a mastery over water to aid him in his crusade against crime and injustice. Meanwhile, the residents of Colberton must deal with the threat of an unknown saboteur who uses a new explosive that can't be detected by traditional means. This, in conjunction with the threat of a chemical attack, keeps the planet on edge as superpowered battles take place across the globe. The action spans from India, to Somalia, to Mexico. Is any place safe from the level of violence that the heroes must face?
