Stories

Five to One, Deathlok... ...One in Five... No One Here Gets Out Alive! · 16 pages
Deathlok wanders off from his home with no particular plan except to find Major Simon Ryker and kill him. In the meantime Major Ryker sends his men and a super-tank powered by Nina's mind functioning in rapport with his omni-computer to intercept and kill him. The story ends in a face-off of these forces.

Publisher’s description

Deathlok wanders far from the land he calls home to find Simon Ryker and kill him. However, Ryker is able to foresee Deathlok’s arrival and sends out armored tanks to defeat his creation-gone-rogue.
