Accused of murder Jenny finds herself behind bars. This draws the attention of one Kenneth Connell, bearer of the Star Brand and the New Universe's most powerful paranormal.

Synopsis

While Jenny languished in jail, Eric, Ferris, and Giotti broke into the Boston P.D. evidence facility, and started to repair the Mark 2 M.A.X. suit, in order to use it to get her out of jail. Of course, the thing was a wreck after Jenny's battle with Steel Hawk, so they had to do a whole lot of repair work. In fact, they couldn't fix it in just one night, so they planned a subsequent break-in later...

Meanwhile, Ken Connell was considering the events surrounding his 'friend', Jenny, when he was attacked by three street thugs. Of course, they had no means to really hurt him whatsoever, so he simply shrugged off their attack. After the losers fled, Ken decided to visit Jenny in prison, in order to see if she was holding up all right.

The next day, we got to see a shot of Steel Hawk putting himself back together after his run-in with Jenny, at which point he was given the task of eliminating the English Prime Minister during her visit in the States for the coming holidays. Demonstrating to his Club contact that he was healing just fine, he took the job with maniacal glee.

After her court hearing that day, Jenny was passed a note by Eduardo Giotti, a not that told her what the Troubleshooters were up to. While she was visited by Ken, Jenny asked him to visit her cell later that night (via the windows) so she could get his help on some matter. Ken agreed, and would later show up right on schedule.

Later that night, the Troubleshooters managed to get the M.A.X. armor operational again, though the power pack wasn't working so hot. Nonetheless, they barreled out of the evidence building in the suit, roughing up several cops in the process. The trio of Troubleshooters were finally surrounded, however, when the suit was yanked off the ground by a blur of light.

Using his Star Brand, Ken was able to stop the M.A.X. armor and remove the power pack before it could explode, destroying a significant portion of Boston. He then met up with the Troubleshooters, returning the remains of the M.A.X. armor to them at M.I.T. before the authorities could collect it, admonishing the students to stop trying to be heroes before they got themselves killed.
