Fangs of the Kobra!
In the middle of a heated conversation with Lt. Perez, Jason Burr is attacked by a giant robot, but as he is being crushed to death the robot's master, Kobra, feels the same pain that Jason feels and he destroys the machine. Lt. Perez explains that Kobra is his long lost brother, as they were born twins in a New Delhi hospital, but the members of the Kobra Cult came after his brother to fulfill a prophecy, but finding two of them came unexpectedly. They took the one at ‘death's door' and trained the boy arduously until adulthood, so that he may bring the world back to the serpent gods. Later the hospital staff lied about what happened. Now, there is a connection between the two, so that when Jason feels pain then Kobra will feel it and vice-versa. Kobra wants to kill his brother, or imprison him, as he feels threatened by his mere existence. Lt. Perez proposes a trap and Jason begrudgingly agrees, he puts his hand above fire to force Kobra to search him up, and when he does a full police squad jumps onto him, and in their overzealousness they might kill them both. Kobra pulls a high tech vanishing act.
