True Believers Chapter One

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Subject Matter
Genres: superhero
Character(s): Runaways [Nico Minoru; Gertrude Yorkes; Chase Stein; Karolina Dean; Molly Hayes; Old Lace]; Wrecking Crew [Piledriver; Wrecker; Thunderball; Bulldozer; Excavator]; Excelsior [Phil Urich [Green Goblin]; Julie Power [Lightspeed]; Johnny Gallo [Ricochet]; Michiko "Mickey" Musashi [Turbo]; Chris Powell [Darkhawk]; Chamber (false)]; Victor Mancha (1st); future Gertrude Yorkes (death); Rick Jones (cameo)
Synopsis: With their parents dead and gone, the Runaways begin patrolling the streets of L.A. They try to talk the Excavator out of robbing a bank with his dad, Piledriver, but end up fighting the whole Wrecking Crew. The ex-superhero support group, Excelsior, has their meeting interrupted by a mysterious benefactor who offers them a million dollars if they can track down the Runaways. Meanwhile, back at the base, the kids are shocked when a machine bearing a future Gertie shows up, and she tells them they have to track down and stop a kid named Victor who will grow up to kill all of Earth's heroes.

Synopsis: Even though they have sworn off their superhero lives, the members of Excelsior decide to put on their costumes one last time to track down the Runaways (and make a million bucks doing it). Nico uses a spell to learn whether the future Gertie who just showed up in their lair and promptly died was telling the truth. They catch a glimpse of the future where a hero-turned-villain named Victorious kills all of Earth's heroes. The Runaways track down Victor Mancha at his school and start a fight. Just as they knock him out, Excelsior shows up.
