Future:
the resistance against the all-powerful Roxxon Corporation meets in a secret
base beneath Howlett’s Bookstore. The leader, an older Miranda Bayer, reports
that they were unable to prevent the Deathloks from killing Frank Castle, the
Punisher, and the number of heroes is dwindling. A report comes in that Roxxon
is preparing to jump back through time and Bayer assembles her team; the
General is unable to come but he sends Wolverine in his place, an aging,
handless shadow of his former self. She recalls how it all started….
Present:
Miranda Bayer, a young waitress, had dreams of a Roxxon conquest of Earth and
tries to warn a skeptical Wolverine that the Deathloks are coming from the
future to wipe out any possible candidates for being the mysterious leader of
the resistance in their day, known only as the General. Miranda tells Logan
that their main target is Captain America: Bucky Barnes….
Bucky
is having a drink in a bar when the Deathloks gather outside and blow the place
to bits with their gunfire. Entering, they find Bucky has descended into a hole
in the floor, coming out in the subway. He calls to the crowd to run as the
Deathloks arrive. Logan also appears on the scene, directed by Miranda and her
flashes of the future. There is a brutal battle, the two heroes against an army
of cyborgs. One of them, designated Deathlok Prime, confronts Wolverine but
since he is not authorized to kill him, blows a huge hole in him instead. Then
Deathlok Prime, his damaged brain split into the bloodthirsty human side and
the logical computer side, recognizes Miranda as the future resistance leader
but the divided brain causes it to freeze up and a boy rescues Miranda, a boy
she recognizes as her future right-hand man Wakowski. Logan asks why the cyborg
declined to kill him; Miranda explains that it’s because in the future they had
already killed him….
Future:
Bayer and her team infiltrate the lab where Roxxon has its time portal ready.
Logan attacks the Deathloks and is shot down by them then sprayed with acid
which melts away everything but the Adamantium on his bones. Bayer leads a
charge….
