Plot Details
The Minister meets with a criminal known as Eric Radnor who puts on high-tech gloves and names himself the boxer. The Minister pays the Boxer to kill Black Shadow and the Boxer agrees.

Black Shadow is patrolling the streets when he is suddenly attacked by two police officers named Sgt Will Carlyle and Officer Carlos Marino. Black Shadow easily escapes them but comes into contact with the Boxer, who brutally beats him. Black Shadow is able to get back up and destroys the gloves. The Boxer meets with a fixer named Drix who builds him an exosuit and the Boxer publically calls out Black Shadow. Lyall asks him to avoid it but Jack can’t and meets with Boxer. The two engage in combat but Boxer emerges victorious.

Boxer brings Black Shadow to Minister who remains masked and orders his head henchman, Pedro Solaris to eliminate him. Boxer decides to do the honours, but Black Shadow quickly breaks free and uses an EMP to disable Boxer’s suit before engaging in combat with Pedro and the henchmen, who are easily defeated. Pedro escapes with the Minister as Boxer comes to and they battle, although Black Shadow emerges victorious this time. He calls Carlyle and Marino to the scene, who arrest Boxer and ponder whether or not Black Shadow actually committed those murders.

Jack returns home and brings back one of Radnor’s gauntlets. He intends to study it and upgrade his suit. As he reads it he learns that the man responsible for the suit is Dr Eric Stoneheart, a man who works at his father’s company. Jack tells Lyall he needs to have a chat with Stoneheart.
