Can we? Two very frustrated gladiators against a very under prepared squad of goons results in Adam and Shatterstar having the time of their life &#8211; at the expense of the goons! (This is the 4th time Adam uses his \u201cBurn!\u201d Catch phrase).<\/p>\n<p>The next hint about Adam\u2019s past comes from Arcade &#8211; we know Major Domo was after Shatterstar; so he mentions returning the funds for Milbury &#8211; which is an alias used by Mr. Sinister &#8211; the same one who told Scott that he has \u201cbrothers\u201d &#8211; insinuating more than just Alex.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-76\" src=\"http:\/\/tawmis.com\/xtreme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/xf30_08-198x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"198\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tawmis.com\/xtreme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/xf30_08-198x300.jpg 198w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/xtreme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/xf30_08-677x1024.jpg 677w, http:\/\/tawmis.com\/xtreme\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/xf30_08.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 198px) 100vw, 198px\" \/>Adam and Shatterstar find the entrance to Arcade\u2019s base &#8211; and they both mean to unleashed bladed fury upon him! (I do love this panel!)<\/p>\n<p>Shatterstar fakes his death by seemingly killing him self which allows him to get the drop on Arcade &#8211; which turns out to be a robot. It\u2019s revealed Windsong was never captured; but an illusion.
