WORLD'S FINEST The table explodes into wooden shrapnel as the edge collides with Grundy's temple like a pendulum, connecting with explosive force. He falters back a few steps, somewhat rattled. It was a blow that could've torn the head off of an ordinary crook, but Grundy was nothing if not...

WORLD'S FINEST Clark's expression turned somewhat dour as Arthur mugged in front of him and alluded to the possibility of using his guns. He made sure his grip on Arthur's hand was firm. He didn't take the loss of life lightly. Arthur was a loose cannon, and he had his work cut out for him, but...

Superman turned and looked over the newcomer. Everything about him, down to the slightest mannerism, was like something straight out of one of the westerns he used to watch with Pa Kent back in Smallville when he was younger. It wasn't the strangest thing he'd seen in the aftermath of the...

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. The hulking outline of a being neither man nor beast skulked in the shadows of the dilapidated building, claws . He bared his teeth, the scent of prey in the air. Although he was more animal than man in many respects, if there was one thing Victor Creed could...

"Sure thing. In the meantime, I'm going to see what I can do around here." Clark floated down to street-level. Robo was still in ear-shot of his super hearing, as was, well, everything. Still, even for his supercharged Kryptonian brain, it was a lot to sift through. He'd learned to tune in to...

Inner ear's cocked to the background murmur. Overloaded with the criminal buzz of the cluster hive. I'm inhaling the psyche of the city. The only one paying attention. The rest are hypnotized. Sleep walking. Enthralled by pre-packed gossip. Mesmerized by manufactured dreams. Ignoring the...

"So long as you're firing at him, it should do for a distraction. As far as aiming for the belt, I can cover that." Superman waited for Robo take his shots, then he made his move. As Vortex predictably routed his magnetic field in front of him to catch the projectiles, Clark made his move. In...

"Like hell you will." Paper star quickly used both of her free arms to fold a pair of razor-sharp triangular spikes, which she then jammed into Vivian's sides. She took advantage of the element of surprise, just as V.I.L.E. had taught her to, and rolled out from underneath her would-be captor...

"Diamagnetism, actually. His power's not limited to just metal. Luckily for us, it means you're no worse off than I am." A burst of destructive repulsive force starts to tear through the buildings behind Superman. The blast had been aimed at him, but Vortex didn't care who was caught in the...

Vortex didn't let up his magnetic rampage, scarcely noticing the crashing of the plane as he began to levitate an overturned semi-truck into the air. He launched the 40-ton vehicle with the speed and force of a railgun, aiming at one of the many blimps circling overhead. For the split-second the...

NEW GOTHAM, DIAMOND DISTRICT, HALF PAST MIDNIGHT. Jacob Baker fidgeted nervously, clenching his fists. It wasn't exactly his first time doing something villainous -- Vortex had done his share of heists and robberies ever since the accident that gave him his powers and unique appearance...

Logan's claws retreat back into their housings on his forearms as he places a hand upon the shoulder of his fellow mutant. He answers with a solemn shake of his head. "Sorry..." He practically mutters it, and it might just be the first time Kurt's ever heard his teammate make a direct apology...

I'm the best there is at what I do... and what I do best isn't very nice. More figures pour into the alleyway. Now there's about half-a-dozen Yakuza, give or take a few. Real ratrace, cut-throat low-lives, who probably consider themselves as rough-an'-tough as men can be. My kinda crowd... my...

NEW TOKYO, MIDTOWN, 3 A.M. I'm the best there is at what I do... and what I do best isn't very nice. The Big Apple. Midtown. 'Cept it ain't how I remember it. The folk who used to call New York 'The City That Never Sleeps' oughta take a look at it now. Two of the biggest cities in the world...

NEW GOTHAM CITY BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! A hail of gunfire ripped through the dingy Manhattan office of the Freelance Police. "I think I nicked it once!" "Nice shooting, Max. Now let's line up a dozen raw eggs with the faces of people we don't like drawn on them!" "Oh boy! Where'd...
