When Deathlok is unable to escape, the explosive attached to his wrist blows his bionic arm off, and the rest of his body is damaged. Mike Travers manages to extract his body, and the CIA fixes the damage and reprograms him to stop Simon Ryker (the Savior Machine). Deathlok goes after Simon and encounters a second Luther Manning clone with the mind of the surgeon that created him. With this clone's help, Deathlok plugs his mind into the Omni-Computer to confront Ryker's mind.
