Powerplex: Power Cycle

Powerplex, it doesn't have to be like this.

And my sister didn't have to die! But she did! And it's all your fault!

This doesn't have to be your life. One fueled by revenge.

You have the power to do some real good, Powerplex.

Maybe Invincible's right... I hate to say that... But maybe...

Maybe I should be focusing on the real criminals out there... Speaking of which...

I stopped some crime. Okay... That's good.

But why don't I feel that good?

A bank robbery... Okay, that feels like classic hero stuff.

Stop right there and put the money down!

That's a bank robbery stopped.

Glad I just saved... that bank's money?

Stopping these low level criminals... Feels off. It's people at the end of their ropes. I don't feel good beating them up.

And look at that, another crime starting. What's wrong with this city?

Out of the way, Powerplex. If you're not gonna help, you're just in the way.

I know what's really in the way in this city!

You Heroes just beat down on regular people. No wonder they have to resort to crimes. What other chance do they have to succeed in this world of gods?

People must feel so powerless.

Criminals! Stop! It doesn't have to be this way. You can do better.

Ow! Did one of you jerks just throw a beer bottle at me?!

How can I help these people if they won't listen?

They only seem to listen to violence.

Please, listen to reason. There's a better way than this.

Who the hell is this guy? Stay out of our bussiness, buddy.

I'm afraid I can't do that.

Hey there, what's your name?

I'm called Powerplex.

Powerplex, it doesn't have to be like this.

I'm sick of hearing that coming from people who don't mean it!

Powerplex, you don't need to fight us. I really am trying to do things differently.

The system is broken. So while me and my people don't do what's legal...

We do what's right.

We help our community. A community that has been forgotten by the politicians and so-called Heroes.

So... What do we do?

There's some bad guys trying to mess up our community. We need to take care of them first.

You see that, Powerplex? That's what helping people actually looks like.

Yeah... yeah, I see what you mean.

More bastards trying to disrupt our community. Go take care of them?

So this is mainly what you guys do? Beat people up?

Yeah, isn't it great?

Great work, Powerplex. You're really starting to fit in here.

Yeah, I don't know about that.

This isn't some new way forward. You're just another gang with a fresh coat of paint.

Powerplex, it's more complicated than that.

You tell yourself that. But it's still just hoarding for yourself and beating up the people you don't like.

I'm starting not to like you very much.

Then I guess we know what you're going to have to do.

You're being too stubborn, Powerplex. Trust me, this is the best way.

For you. The best way for you.

Powerplex, what are you doing? I find you going ballistic and Titan and his crew are actually trying to calm you down?

What's going on?

The cycle continues.

Alright, Powerplex, you've lost it. I'm sorry, but I've got to put you down.

It doesn't have to be like this.

Yes, Invincible. Apparently it does.
