| Marshall Foxx is alive and he is angry. 50 years earlier, society thanked him for his service to mankind by dropping nuclear bombs on him. Unfortunately for mankind, his powers -- courtesy of asteroid slivers that fused with an experimental computer in his brain -- allowed him to survive.
For 50 years, he stayed out of sight, willing to let mankind continue on its path to destruction until his conscience forces him to come out of "retirement," albeit in a different identity. As he feared, soon the now-repressive Earth governments -- not content with population control, corruption and endless wars over dwindling natural resources -- come after him thinking he can give them the edge they need to come out on top. They are sadly mistaken. Foxx is eager to exact some vengeance, but his actions may lead to the destruction of mankind. As his rampages shred whole police and military forces, society must step up and unite to stop a man whose misguided zeal led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands. The final battle actually produces a hero who might have the ultimatum weapon against Foxx and ultimate salvation for mankind. | ||
