Roxxon’s enemies. He was present when Wolverine was killed (issue #12) and
stood firm as the resistance attacked, his human mind exulting in the number of
people he has killed….

they go after the fleeing Miranda//in the future, Bayer sends Wakowski to bomb
the Roxxon time portal but young Evan Wakowski is killed in the present and

Deathloks to the Youth Development Center as Steve Rogers, Spider-Man and
Luke Cage arrive on the scene. As the heroes fight the Deathloks, Miranda enters the
Center with Deathlok Prime right behind//in the future, Bayer hurls a bomb at
