Machine Man #[nn]

In "He Lives Again," Machine Man awakens in 2020 to a world transformed by the very technology he once helped pioneer—now wielded by Sunset Bain, the ruthless leader who built her empire on his designs. Forced to flee from her deadly C-28 Death-Dealer Robots, Machine Man finds unexpected allies in a band of young rebels, including Slick, Hassle, and Swift, as he struggles to reclaim his purpose in a world that has moved on without him.

Machine Man and his allies race against time to uncover the truth behind Sanctuary, only to be betrayed by Sunset Bain and her crew. With Hassle taken and the Wreckers closing in, the team must fight their way out of a deadly trap—before their secrets are exposed and their mission collapses.

In "Rime of the Ancient Wrecker," Machine Man and his allies are captured and brought to Sanctuary—only to discover it’s under the control of his long-lost friend, the enigmatic Gears Garvin. With Iron Man 2020 and the Banies closing in, Machine Man must face off against Sunset Bain and her forces, while confronting the past that still haunts him.

In "Victory," Machine Man leads a bold strike against Baintronics, confronting Sunset Bain and forcing her to end her vendetta with the Wreckers. Amid the chaos, Machine Man shares a fleeting moment with Jocasta, reigniting a connection from their past.
