Spawn – Dark Discoveries | Comics

An unscheduled demolition by the Mafia leveled up an entire building that belonged to a multinational firm who refused to cooperate with them. The flattening was performed by a cyborg assassin called Overtkill who also trashed the army troops on his way home. Spawn goes against Overtkill, hired by the local mob that is clearly disturbed by his interference in their work lately.

Spawn – Dark Discoveries | Comics

As he keeps perishing the goons and they are fade up on keep losing their men to him. After a good fight, Overtkill outmatches Spawn, causes him to run away only to come back when fully prepared. He soon demands a re-match against the cyborg killer. They met in the alleyways and fights again but this time Spawn’s heavy array of weaponaries proved more than his new cybernetic foe could handle.

Also, Spawn meets Cogliostro, another Hellspawn but he is an opposite to the clown Violator, he acts more like an advocate of him. A centuries old powerful arch nemesis from the side of Haven named Angela makes her appearance in the game. Angela used to prey upon the hosts of Hellspawn from the Medieval era to modern time by disguising herself as a helpless woman desperately seeking for protection.

Upon the arrival of her prey, she slowly lured them all into her trap before hunting them down. Though she was proven very effective for centuries to track down and hunt the Hellspawns, she faced the current Spawn only to be defeated by him for the first time ever in the history of her entire kind.

The eternal evil mutant En Sabah Nur AKA Apocalypse has always been watching over the world to conquer it when the time to strike is right and as he observes this unexpected incident, he deems it as a perfect moment to start his agenda of ruling the world by conquering it all. Alongside his wife Rogue, Magneto assembles the team of Astonishing X-Men, his rebellion mutant army against the tyrant's genocidal campaign "culling", where many were slain.

Instead of all the effort, Apocalypse has conquered entire North America and hunted down all mutants with potent telepathic or chronal abilities, as well as other super-heroes to assure the durability of his evil reign. It's a timeline that is full of chaos, abnormalities and madness all over it, as it is ruled by the one who is the malevolent mutant Apocalypse himself.

While Nightcrawler was leding the X-Calibre team to locate Destiny, he came across Callisto, Juggernaut, his mother Mystique and Thunderbird of this reality. To retrieve a piece of M'Kraan Crystal that controls over time and dimensions, Gambit and the X-Ternals travels to space. Colossus and Shadowcat are a married couple who trains a group of young mutants from the original Generation X, who call themselves Generation Next.

Blink, Morph, Sabretooth, Sunfire and Wild Child fought Apocalypse's son Holocaust under Magneto's command to stop the "cullings". Logan carries out his own missions as Weapon X, along with his lover Jean Grey for the Human High Council. Allegedly born from Cyclops' and Jean Grey's DNA, a new and powerful mutant Nate Gray AKA X-Man makes his presence known as the world's most powerful telekinetic.

Clarice adopts Blink as her code name and joined the ranks of X-Men in the Age of Apocalypse reality. This young mutant was berated by leader of the X-Men; Magneto for her carelessness and disobedient attitude after she put Impossible Man out of his misery in Dark Beast's lab. She reached the place where Holocaust; Horseman of Apocalypse and Blastaar; ruler of Negative Zone were battling. Having an idea to convince Blastaar to help them fight against the eternal mutant Apocalypse, She easily escaped from patrolling probes and slipped through Blastaar's portal to the zone.

Blink reached to Negative Zone but also lost most of her memories as her journey through the portal to this dimension wiped it out. On Negative Zone, she met a brave rebel freedom fighter named Ahmyor, who plans to usurp Blastaar from his throne and restore Annihilus as the rightful ruler. But these two are soon captured by Blastaar’s army in one of their failed escape attempt. At some point, it is revealed to Blink by Blastaar that Blink's newly found love interest Ahmyor is not what he seems and he is none other than a de-evolved version of the malicious being known as Annihilus and what deadly threats he poses in the future for the people on Earth and cosmos as well. Of all people, Ahmyor doesn't even know what scale of destruction he's about to bring upon the galaxy.

Batgirl – A Knight Alone | Comics

Batman pushes Batgirl to regain her former battle prowess and in her weakest state, she faces Lady Shiva.

Following her encounter with a runaway psychic, Batgirl lost the ability to predict movement of her opponents and ended up getting shot multiple times. Batman is not allowing her to patrol the streets of Gotham City anytime soon until she become worthy of the costume once again. Her defense is gone and it got her ass kicked during sparring sessions.

So, she starts training in combat knowledge from the scratch to build a better defense system like everyone else of the Bat-Family now that she cannot predict the moves of her opponent. She trains for a whole week straight and then gets beat again.

On her constant insisting, Batman opens up to her about the tragedy of Jason Todd, the second Robin he recruited after Nightwing and how he was killed by The Joker, something he is not going to allow to happen again. When he goes out of town, Cassandra decided to continue vigilantism without the cowl yet Oracle figured it out anyway.

Barbara thinks that Cassandra can fight way better than her but for some reason it seems that she is always looking for danger. Later that night, she sees Lady Shiva during patrol and then follows her into a luxurious restaurant of the city to find out what she is up to. She sits there for long for Shiva to make a move but nothing happens at all.

Batgirl – A Knight Alone | Comics

Then she notices a young woman walking in with armored guards and immediately assumes her as the target before jumping in to save her only to be knocked down to the ground by a left cross. Seeing no other way to save the girl, she lured Shiva away from killing the girl by challenging her into a duel and got beaten down one more time.

Cassandra wakes up later in an ambulance with a broken right arm but jumps out of it anyway. Shiva showed up again to collect a bracelet which she lost during their fight earlier and reveals that she came here to fight Cassandra but is disappointed to find her not up to a challenge. She knocks Shiva out with a cheap shot while handing the bracelet over.

Her training with Batman doesn't go well and the latter believes that it will take another year or so for her to be wearing the Batgirl costume again. She asks Oracle to send a message to Shiva and they meet on a rooftop that night. Shiva starts knocking down Cassandra before she could explain that she needs a favor from her and they agree for a price.

Meanwhile, Batman pays a visit to David Cain and watches one of the tapes which show how he trained Cassandra to be a killer, leading the Caped Crusader to conclude that all Cain did was abuse her. However, he is here for two police officers he killed a year prior in Gotham and a vengeful Dark Knight unleashes onto the world's deadliest assassin.

When her mentor returns, she asks him to hit her as she is ready now and surprisingly, she is able to dodge every time with her retained defensive skills. Turns out, she made a deal with Shiva, who would train her to make her able to predict the movements of her opponent and in exchange they will fight each other to death exactly a year later.

Next up, Batgirl had a brief encounter with Cain in Gotham and a faceoff with a metahuman. Afterwards, she gets entangled with a group of C.I.A. agents while trying to save the life of FBI sharp shooter Agent Johnson, who was actually hired to kill her. Realizing that he is a good man, Cassandra tries her best to help him to start over.
