After failing to detach an explosive on his wrist, Deathlok loses his bionic arm and much of his body. Mike Travers, anti-hero, manages to retrieve Deathlok’s body from the blast and takes him to the C.I.A for tinkering. There, Deathlok is re-programmed with one mission operative; take down Simon Ryker once and for all. Ryker re-invents himself as the half-cyborg, Savior Machine.
