John, Robin, and Lenny of Damage Control have been summoned
to Yankee Stadium to clean up after a disaster—but there isn’t one. Hulk is
trying to watch the ballgame while everyone expects him to be the source of any
trouble. Then the New Warriors (Firestar, Night Thrasher, Namorita, Nova,
Marvel Boy) arrive, summoned by Speedball (an intern at DC as Robbie Baldwin)
and warn DC not to try anything, echoed by Police Lt. Steve Sure who also
suspects Damage Control is behind the recent spate of disasters in the city. As
the Warriors face off with the DC team, Hulk is waiting for the game to resume
but when John calls for a peaceful resolution and Hulk recognizes it as a STAR
TREK quote, it leads to a discussion of the show among the various fans in DC
and the New Warriors. A.J. Lociciero gets bored with all the talk and provokes
a fight between DC and the New Warriors, which fight lasts three seconds and
ends with a Warriors victory (but no real injuries). And then the glowing green
ball from outer space (seen last issue) arrives and takes the form of Edifice
Rex, a glowing green cosmic hero whose origin was seen in DAMAGE CONTROL Vol. 1
issue #1. And, dedicating his powers to cleanliness and repair, he wants a job
with Damage Control. Robin realizes that with his magical abilities, he will
put DC out of business and the New Warriors perceive him as a threat to human
freedom and attack, only to be placed in mylar bags by Rex. John comes up with
a plan: he tells Edifice Rex that they have been hired to clean up the Asteroid
Belt and puts Rex in charge of the project, sending him back into space for an
indefinite time. The Warriors arrange with Hulk to get together and watch STAR
TREK next weekend and everyone goes home….
Back at work, Robbie is fired over his poor attendance and
A.J. Lociciero reveals that the Damage Control movie has already been made and
he will be flying everyone out to Hollywood for the premiere, which
announcement does not go down well….
