Plot Details
Black Shadow ambushes Dr Eric Stoneheart at the Dark City University, and Stoneheart remains adamant he is not responsible for Boxer’s suit and that people are stealing his designs. Black Shadow is forced to stay with him when an unknown hitman attacks them. Black Shadow contacts Lyall to inform him, who in turn informs the police anonymously as Amy and Leo intercept on Yates’ orders.

Black Shadow finds a hideout for himself and Stoneheart and Stoneheart reveals he found a key component to a certain type of mechanical armour and built a new element known as Vorium. He shows Black Shadow the blueprints and tells him he cannot show this to David. Meanwhile, the Hitman, now known as Dreadnought, a villain who uses a gauntlet to kill his enemies. Black Shadow faces off against Dreadnought and beats him, escaping with Stoneheart.

Black Shadow is chased by Dreadnought, Amy and Leo and runs into a three-way battle. Dreadnought attempts to kill Amy to distract Black Shadow but Black Shadow saves her, leaving Amy confused. Black Shadow and Dreadnought battle as Stoneheart is found by Leo, who takes him to safety. Amy watches as Black Shadow beats Dreadnought and escapes. As Amy goes to arrest Dreadnought, Dreadnought distracts her and quickly escapes.

Jack returns to Lyall and reveals that Stoneheart is working on a specialised suit and that he could do with something like that. Against Lyall’s wishes, Jack goes to meet Stoneheart at the University as Black Shadow and asks for his help. When Stoneheart refuses, Black Shadow removes his mask and reveals himself to Stoneheart, who is shocked by what he sees.
