Synopsis
“Enforcer”
Writer/Editor: Gerry Conway
Artist/Storyteller: Pat Broderick
Artist/Embellisher: Rodin Rodriguez
The Professor has just lost his job at Concordance Research and Ronnie gets him a job flipping burgers at the Bun n’ Bun.
Outside, the Professor’s ex-wife Clarissa Clemens is enjoying watching her ex-husband flounder at his new job. She signals to her employer, Enforcer, that he is about to be fired and make his exit out of the restaurant.
Martin and Ronnie (who gets fired aswell) walk out and encounter Enforcer. He kidnaps the Professor and throws Ronnie through a window. When he comes to, Ronnie attempts to transform into Firestorm but the torture that Martin is under prevents him from doing so.
Meanwhile Lorraine Reilly has been kidnapped and her father Senator Reilly is being blackmailed.
The Enforcer places disrupter pods on Martin’s temples and says he knows about Martin and Ronnie being Firestorm from a tape the Professor made admitting it (stupid!!).
Martin uses a soldering iron that he finds in the lab where he has been kept for safe keeping and burns the pods off his head. The Firestorm transformation is enabled and they go to battle enforcer. The enforcer blasts them in his Sentry Mark XX Combat Tank and he is captured.
The brains behind the whole kidnapping, turns out to be Multiplex.
Rating: 8/10
Great read. The Enforcer is a great mercenary villain.
