[[File:Sunset Bain congressman.jpeg|thumb|upright=0.825|]]
Hosting a party in her luxurious penthouse, Sunset Bain was called away from a simping congressman by her butler [[Rollins]], who had received a special letter for her – a secret signal from her [[Madam Menace's henchmen|henchmen]] that she was required. Getting changed and descending in a private elevator, Madam Menace greeted [[Krager]] in her underground complex. Krager had managed to steal [[Machine Man]]'s left arm, and offered it to Menace for $20,000. Refusing to haggle from her price of $1000, Menace introduced him to her flesh-eating roaches, and the vagrant quickly accepted her offer. Madam Menace planned to use the arm to capture Machine Man, in order to reverse engineer him to mass-produce robotic super-soldiers and wholesale them for profit.
The next day, after Machine Man was equipped with a power booster to enhance his radio receivers, he tracked the arm to a seemingly-abandoned riverside warehouse, where Madam Menace and her men sprung her trap, subduing him with an electromagnetic blast and stasis field. Menace had a brief tête-à-tête with Machine Man, wondering aloud about his decidedly unrobotic personality. After a henchman informed her that her boat was ready, Menace left for a pre-arranged meeting with a client, leaving Machine Man in the company of a pair of her goons.
Out on a boat in New York Bay, Menace met her favourite anarchist, [[Zarkoff]], and offered him the chance to have a loyal robot army. Machine Man, having broke free, interrupted the meeting. Zarkoff took the opportunity to double cross Menace, swiping the sample case containing the robot's arm. Menace followed him and zapped him in the shoulder and, knowing when to liquidate her assets, tossed the sample case overboard. Zarkoff hit the button on his exit strategy, and the hidden explosives on the ship detonated. Though Machine Man quickly determined that he was the only one caught in the blast, he was left brooding over the uncertainty of Madam Menace's survival. {{storylink|Arms and the Robot!}}
