Description
Pharaoh's Legacy / Panther's Quest / Rise and Shine, Part 4: a Heart Unleashed / Part 15: Last Night I Wept for Freedom / Part 2: the Funhouse / Just Another Shade of Hate
Part 4: a Heart Unleashed - Havok has travelled to Egypt in his pursuit of Leila O'Toole. All the forces of the Cult of the Living Pharaoh are trying to stop him.
Part 15: Last Night I Wept for Freedom - So you think you have troubles, Bunkie? Since his arrival in South Africa, the Panther has been thrown into barbed wire, beaten with clubs, tear-gassed, shot, and now a mob called the Comrads has thrown gasoline on his and set him afire! And all this without having a cup of morning coffee. Now that's what you call trouble.
Part 2: the Funhouse - He has awakened to find himself in a strange body, much of it metal. Through a city which seems to be New York after nuclear devastation, he drive an unfamiliar (and extraordinary) car without thinking. A dull dead computer voice speaks from his own throat, but not from his mind, warning him of imminent attack by a tank. From the tank emerges a somehow familiar man-monster whom he has never met and who calls him "Coldblood-7." But who, he wonders, is he?
Just Another Shade of Hate - Trapped in an underground cavern and exposed to unknown radiation, the angry young Indian rights protestor known as Jason Strongbow emerged with superhuman strength, speed, agility, and endurance - powers that allowed him to become the American Eagle. Since then, he's mellowed considerably. Now lobbying in Washington, D.C., on behalf of his people, he's learned that truth and integrity are often the first casualties in the fight for civil rights.
