Blood Brothers Prelude
U.S. Government operative Cabbot Stone leads Bloodstrike, a covert superhuman team, in a raid on a G.A.T.E. International facility called Jericho in the Arizona desert. The four-armed Fourplay and former supervillain Deadlock run point, engaging G.A.T.E. security while Stone and Tag penetrate deeper into the complex. Joined by armored behemoth Shogun, they encounter the base commander Corben. They shoot his guards but discover Corben is appearing via an hologram. Stone, Tag, and Shogun regroup with Fourplay and Deadlock outside. Sensing something is off, Stone aborts the mission when Corben appears in person and reveals he arranged Bloodstrike’s mission. G.A.T.E. was about to fire him, so, by repelling an attack by Bloodstrike, he sought to impress his employers and save his job. Corben attacks Stone mortally, but he miraculously gets back up. Tag uses her powers to freeze Corben in place, and Shogun then opens fire on him, killing him. After Bloodstrike returns to its headquarters, Stone’s artificially intelligent assistant Roam prints a photo of the team’s next target: the superhero team Brigade, led by Cabbot's brother John, also known as Battlestone.
