Description
The male members of the Champions are held prisoner by Crimson Dynamo, Titanium Man and Darkstar. Trapped in a vault under the San Andreas Fault, they learn that any move on their part to escape will activate the Fault and cause a series of earthquakes which will level Los Angeles. Hercules however is not content to sit around, and tries to break through the steel case. The Soviet super beings return to their ship, where the Crimson Dynamo continues to challenge his hated father, Ivan Petrovich, while the Black Widow and Alexi Bruskin remain his prisoner. However, the Crimson Dynamo reveals his childhood history, though the Black Widow, who knows Ivan’s history, doesn’t believe it. The United States airforce arrives on scene, and the Titanium Man gladly goes to dispose of them, but Darkstar, becoming more and more disobedient, refuses to work with him. The Crimson Dynamo joins the Titanium Man. During his absence more of Ivan’s history is revealed - including that Alexi Bruskin was responsible for playing both sides of the game. Darkstar tries to inform the Crimson Dynamo, her lover, of this, but he ignores her, and attacks the Black Widow, causing Darkstar to free the Black Widow and Bruskin, and with her remaining strength, she teleports the four male members of the Champions to land, while the Black Widow takes out the controls of the jet, causing Griffin to land it on the Soviet submarine nearby. The Champions capture the Griffin and Titanium Man, while Bruskin is shot. Darkstar captures the Crimson Dynamo before he can harm the Black Widow, but is confused at what to do with him, and sets him free, though he immediately departs, bowing revenge, while Darkstar accompanies the Champions and Ivan back to Los Angeles, with their prisoners.
