On Tasman Island, Australia, Baron von Strucker is on the brink of world domination! The Supreme Hydra is poised to launch nanoprobes from satellites orbiting the Earth, and then use a sonic cannon to broadcast the Voice Modulation Program (VMP) to control the entire planet's population! However the V-Battalion has a two-pronged approach to foil the baron. Goldfire, Iron Cross, Nuklo, and Topspin will attempt to destroy the satellites. While Citizen V endeavors to knock out the sonic cannon. But if both should fail, Roger Aubrey has a backup plan: reprogram the VMP with his voice pattern instead of von Strucker's! Hold on, doesn't that mean the V-Battalion would rule the world? What an ethical dilemma! However Roger doesn't know that Citizen V is secretly planning to override the VMP with his own voice pattern. Now why would Citizen V do that? Only the baron's daughter, Andrea, knows the truth! An excellent limited series! Final appearance of Iron Cross. Appearances by Elisabeth Barstow, Fred Davis, Jim Hammond, Andrea Sterman, and Andreas von Strucker. Direct Edition.
