| My thoughts on this series as a whole have not entirely been formed yet, at least not so far as I
would feel comfortable making them public. But anyway, I highly doubt that you came here to read what it is that I
may or may not have thought. Take note that the following summaries are not mine, in an attempt to get some major holes filled, I have stolen The following issue summaries from here, they were originally written by Robert Diehl as a part of Chronology.Net. This information is being reproduced without permission of the authors. I intend to replace these with summaries of my own creation, but until then... | ||

Technomancer Technomancer, an unemployed computer geek, creates a virus to transfer funds from bank computers. He gets rich and lives the good life, while his virus spreads. The US Air Force make a money transfer from a bank computer, that links up to the new facility Jeffries has built in Heather's basement. The virus spreads, causing Box to go mad and attack Heather. While she suits up and pursues, Jeffries is stuck inside, unable to control Box. Box flies into US airspace, and the Air Force attacks, but Box shoots the planes down. The virus has become intelligent in Box, and following its programming decides it must transfer its units (nuclear missiles) from the Air Force base to the Technomancer. Once it lands, Jeffries phases out and uses the base equipment to form another Box, destroys the first one and returns to Canada. Another military weapons system is infected, and delivers its unit (a conventional missile), to the Technomancer, blowing him up. | |||

Bare Bones (part 3) Windshear and Gamma Flight fight Omega Flight in Toronto and bests them. Elizabeth mentally explores
the Ska'r city, a race that feeds on bad emotions. A Talisman had trapped them in their universe, so they ate all the humans they had and hibernated. She
accidentally let them out and resolves to lock them back in. The Master attacks Gamma Flight, with Firebug's collected molecules. Witchfire's shield holds, but
the team is rendered unconscious. Before he can finish the job, the Ska'r attack Omega Flight, and he has to put Tech-Noir down before she kills them all. Then
they attack him; he instinctively retaliates, and his hold on Magus is broken. Elizabeth awakens the team, Laura opens a portal to the Ska'r city, and Windshear
blows them all through, including the Master. Windshear is impressed with the team, and restores the Beta Flight name to them. They get new standardized uniforms. | |||

hostages in Sudbury. Kara's power is getting stronger; the Jackal slashes Knapp with poisoned claws; Kara talks to the Jackal, learning about his evil father (the
original Jackal), but Witchfire attacks him, wanting an antidote. Walter runs tests on Aurora and Jeanne-Marie, to see how their powers work. She are proud of and

Extreme Prejudice (part 1) Wyre is hunting down his evil children, starting with Kyle, who sees his point, since he has of late
been struggling with his psychotic tendencies. Alpha Flight tracks Kyle and beats off Wyre. Witchfire has fried the Jackal's brain (last iss), so Beta Flight has no
antidote to the poison he used on Knapp, who is unconscious and hairy. Nobody answers their call to HQ (Northstar was supposed to be there, but was off on a
personal mission), so they take him to the hospital, by which time he is covered in a cocoon. Kyle and Judd separately want to investigate his connection to Wyre.
Kyle decides to find Nemesis, who is being held prisoner by Rok | |||

Nemesis plots with Kyle to get blood vengeance. Judd and Spider-man go to bars for information and track the Chess Set to a supposedly abandoned air strip,
