Synopsis[]
Open on Ray, aka Mr. Furious, as he stands over a dead man and uses his walkie-talkie to explain to someone that the wall caved in on the guy.
The next page is a recap that tells how The Mystermen came to New York on a hot tip that a big crime wave is about to hit, thanks to their arch enemies the Vile Brotherhood. While the Flaming Carrot was out looking around the city, he comes upon Raphael, who was out alone in order to think. Raphael happened upon the lair of some Vague Dudes, whose body parts detach and who can get drunk off of Sprite.
Raphael is captured by them and zapped with an amnesia ray. Having witnessed all of this, the Flaming Carrot comes to Raph’s rescue, wheeling him out in a wheelbarrow and taking him home to his secret hideout.
When Raphael revives he still has amnesia, so he accepts Flaming Carrot's offer to become a member of the Mysterymen. They create a costume for Raph and dub him the Dark Avenger.
Back to the present, where the Mystermen have uncovered a hiding place being utilized by a gang of zombies who use people masks to disguise themselves. Reporters converge on the scene and interview the Sphinx and the Shoveler, who say that there may be a connection between the zombies and the Vile Brotherhood.
Inside the building, Mr. Furious takes care of the last zombie by tricking it into crashing through a window. As they take one of the zombies hostage, a human rights activist, Dr. Hissel, registers his displeasure with the excessive force employed by the Mysterymen. As he tries to soothe the injured zombie, though, the corpse hurls him across the New York skyline. Stunt Fly chases after him as Mr. Furious makes a televised threat to the Vile Brotherhood.
Down in the sewer lair, Leo, Don and Mike are watching a news report on TV. One of the stories involves the recent disappearance of Frankenstein’s disembodied head from the Museum of Natural History. A former employee explains that the head came in with a shipment of artifacts that were saved from Nazi destruction during WWII. The head, still alive, eventually learned how to roll like a beach ball and escaped. The Turtles then watch a report on the recent activities of Flaming Carrot and the Dark Avenger (whom the media mistakes as “Bread Boy”). The Turtles recognize his fighting style as Raph’s and, thinking their brother has abandoned them to join the Mysterymen, rush to the surface to get answers.
