Gordon called Batman
in to see a body - it had been completely pulverized - no bone in
it still intact. The body had no physical marks on it. Batman
staked out a drug shipment on a tip off. It was broken up by a man
calling himself the Bonecursher. He used a sonic device to destroy
things. He killed himself when cornered by Batman. Bruce Wayne was
introduced to Jeannie Bowen, a woman searching for her brother.
She believed he'd worked for WayneTech, so he gave her a tour. Dr.
Kenneth Harbinger remembered Roy, her brother. Gordon called
Batman about another Bonecrusher attack. A homeless man in a
mission acted out with exact movement and speech as the
Bonecrusher. Cornered again, Bonecrusher killed himself. The bum
turned out to be Roy, Jeannie's brother. He had no memories of the
last six months. Bruce began researching what might have happened
to Roy after a biochip was found implanted in his head.
Bonecrusher broke into Wayne Manor; Alfred saved Bruce and his
houseguests Jeannie and Roy by shooting him with a tranquilizer
dart. Bonecrusher, for a third time, self-destructed. Roy
remembered what the project was - they were creating remote
controlled soldiers. Bruce found Harbinger dead, but found his log
file. In the file, Bruce learned that Harbinger had been the
controller of the Bonerushers and that he'd permanently moved into
another body. Bruce tried to stop the project, but they set him up
as a communist and he was arrested. |
