Synopsis Robotman hears a TV broadcast in which Niles Caulder, the Chief, asks for a meeting with him. Briar uses the opportunity to set a trap for Cliff, but he manages to break through, causing damage but hurting no one. By threatening to blow up an oxygen canister, Robotman gets Briar to back off. Cliff then enters a hospital office where he meets The Chief, along with Larry Trainor and Rita Farr. He is on the point of murdering The Chief when the latter convinces him that he can cure Cliff's madness, and that he, like Larry and Rita, may turn their freakish powers towards the good of society.
Cliff is skeptical, but opts to give it a try.
A great story despite its shortcomings. In order for Robotman to do nothing irredeemable despite his craziness, Drake has him vacillate between evil and mercifulness. He smashes and trashes, but he also lifts a bulldozer off a fallen man. At the climax, he almost strangles Larry Trainor and does pick up the Chief and his wheelchair in preparation to smash him down. But a few words from Caulder, and Cliff is ready to give him a second chance.
