“Shadow of The B.A.T.”

In "Shadow of The B.A.T.," Cobra's latest weapon takes the form of a deadly new B.A.T. android, tested in a high-stakes ambush on Scarlett during a routine street encounter. With the android's programming dangerously precise, Scarlett barely escapes when it misidentifies a civilian, Brenda, as her target—leading to a tense confrontation at a construction site. Written by Eric Fein and Peter Quinones, with art by William Rosado and inks by Jack Snyder, this 1994 Marvel issue delivers a sharp, character-driven showdown, all capped by a striking cover by Elman Brown and Carlos Garzón.

Cobra agent Knox creates a new B.A.T. android designed to be the ultimate killer. He decides to test it on Scarlett, to see if it is feasible enough to sell to Cobra Commander, after spotting her walking on the street. The B.A.T. almost defeats Scarlett, but she gains the upper hand when it sees a civilian named Brenda and mistakes her for Scarlett. While Brenda was at a construction site to visit her husband working there, Scarlett defeats the B.A.T just as it targets Brenda for termination. Brenda is ungrateful for her rescue by Scarlett, and Scarlett leaves with the destroyed android's head for the Joes to later study, as she ponders some alone time for her and Snake-Eyes.
