[[Machine Man]] is in [[New York City|the Bowery]] when he overhears a mugging in progress. The mugger takes an old lady's purse; Machine Man criticises his lack of empathy as he traps him in a dustbin. But when he returns the purse, the old woman is frightened – he's no human, he's a monster, a thing! Machine Man is confused that she would shun her unfamiliar saviour, but he picks up the sound of another incident. |

A man has been hit by a car, but the driver isn't stopping. Asking if the world has gone mad, Machine Man sprints with his hydraulic legs and uses his telescopic arms to crab the grille of the car, wrecking its back end with his super strength. The driver runs for it, but Aaron grabs a manhole cover and charges it using his interior power generator, magnetising it. He throws it at the driver, and it sticks to his massive belt buckle, and it returns to Machine Man like a boomerang. The driver admits to being a paid killer, his hit and run victim having stole something from the mob. Aaron is disgusted by this violence and greed, but he hears gunshots less than a mile away. |

Arriving in another alley, Machine Man finds a boy slumped over his dad's body and a gunman fleeing the scene with his money. Sickened by the thought of money being worth more than a human life, Machine Man decides to punish the gunman, trapping him in a chain link fence that he has electrified... but he stops before killing him, as that would make him no better than he is. Has his time among humans corrupted his sense of judgement? |

Aaron's anger overwhelms him, and he rises into the sky, releasing his rage into a burst of electricity. Unknown to him, an arc of energy oscillates into a laboratory, and five scientists are struck down... and, infused with chemicals, they glow with power, evolving into something new... |
