€10.00 (In Stock)

At the Los Angeles Federal Courthouse, ADA Kate Spencer
prosecutes the metahuman convict Copperhead for his violent acts
against humanity. Copperhead's latest act of depravity cost the lives of
12 people at a bank. The only survivors are either in a vegetative
state or dealing with severe post-traumatic stress disorder due to
severed limbs. Kate pushes for the death penalty since Copperhead is
responsible for 48 lost lives. Copperhead's defense lawyer Carter uses
an insanity plea based on Copperhead's genetic disposition. Carter
argues how someone like Copperhead can't be held accountable on the
standards of human behavior. Carter stresses upon the jury that
Copperhead should be confined and allow the best geneticists to examine
Copperhead's condition in order to prevent future incidents with
individuals who have become genetic anomalies of evolution. The jury is
excused in order to deliberate but it doesn't take long before they come
back with a vote of "Not Guilty by reason of mental disease and genetic
disposition". The judge orders that Copperhead be remanded to the Death
Valley Metahuman Research Facility. Kate then gets a call from her
ex-husband Peter and starts to argue.

Copperhead frees himself from his restraints and kills the
transit officers while on route to the facility. Copperhead's failure to
plan out his escape causes the driver of the transit to crash into
another car. Kate ends her call with her ex-husband when she hears on a
transit frequency that the Copperhead transport is late to the facility.
Kate dons her Manhunter suit and tracks down the transit. She
eventually finds Copperhead who is licking his wounds after the crash.
Kate attacks Copperhead and Copperhead responds by throwing a manhole
cover at her. Copperhead heads down into the sewers and Kate follows.
Copperhead surprises Kate from behind and wraps his tail around her
body. Copperhead attempts to drown Kate in the sewer water. Kate frees
herself by jamming her super charged bo staff into Copperhead's mouth
and sends enough voltage into his skull that the back of his head
explodes. By 3 am, homicide Detectives Wayne and Davis arrive at the
crime scene. They find the remains of the two transit cops that
Copperhead killed and partially devoured. The detectives follow a trail
of blood down to the sewers where they find Copperhead's corpse and the
name Manhunter scratched into the sewer wall right above Copperhead's
lifeless body.
