The Fall of the Clockwork King

Synapse the speedster recruited a group of heroes to take on the Clockwork King. The group consisted of Elite Force member Doc Curie, Izura of the Hmong Warriors, Masterman, Misty Fox, Hunter Smith and ElctroCroc. Named Task Force Lightning the group first detected an electrical anomaly in Steel Canyon. While checking it out, they found a Clockwork minion carrying an electrical power router. When they found a second power router on annother robot, Synapse sent them to Positron for advice. Positron guided the heroes to the three power grid substations in Steel Canyon, where they battled the Clockwork to prevent them from stealing the city's power. Using a device created by Positron, they were able to find the headquarters for the entire operation and shut it down.

Synapse then sent Task Force Lightning to Boomtown to search for the lair of the Clockwork King. After defeating a number of his minions, they found a distinctive mechanical piece amid the remains of one of the fallen robots. Synapse traced the piece to a storage warehouse and sent the group to investigate. After they saved the foreman from some Clockwork attackers, he told them of three locations where similar parts had been shipped.

As they investigated the warehouses, it became evident that they were closing in on the Clockwork King. Armed with determination and one of Positron's inventions, the heroes came face to face with the Clockwork King. Through their valiant efforts the King was captured.
