We return to the story of White Hat Incorporated, with problems to sort through by the dozens. It's been one year since the "Villain Hunt", a massacre of many villains, and then some. White Hat is still struggling to get over the death of his brother, when he notices traces of him. Distorted commercials with his infamous seal appearing on TV. A childish giggle in the night. Even an apparition in the dark, abandoned mansion. Slug and the rest of White Hat Inc are becoming increasingly worried about the boss's sanity, especially the scientist who was now infatuated with him. What was happening to his beloved White Hat? And why was he talking about seeing his brother? He's dead!
