| Synopsis2 = The cruel Taskmaster) grows jealous of War Machine)'s popularity in the Killiseum and demands that Arcade) kill him. Arcade says he can't kill him off yet, because the mystery behind the death of Ross' daughter has yet to be resolved. Taskmaster doesn't care, and issues the ultimatum that Arcade either finish the "story", or he'll shut down War Machine, personally. Elsewhere, The Captain) encourages War Machine to use his notoriety to inspire others, but General Ross tells Steve that that's his job.

The next day, Arcade reveals to the teeming throng that they've discovered the truth behind who killed Betty Ross), not a Hulk from Greenland), rather instead Taskmaster himself. Taskmaster attempts to talk some sense into a raging War Machine, but Ross won't listen, and in the ensuing fight, Taskmaster slits Ross' throat. General Ross then blasts Taskmaster back into the grasp of the Killiseum's Zombies before falling to a knee and telling the crowd, there are bigger monsters to fight against and that they too can be broken, much to the ire of an onlooking God Emperor Doom).
