3. SPHINX Rising

Complete story — includes the ending

21, trying to work as a crime fighter, clashes with the O.S.I.. He puts out an ad for more people to join S.P.H.I.N.X., attracting its old, villainous members, and Hank, who is given a S.P.H.I.N.X. strength suit. The old members commandeer the S.P.H.I.N.X. ship and plan to use it to attack the O.S.I. mothership, but Brock and Shore Leave stop them. A guilty 21 laments his failure, but Brock assures him he had good intentions. The Monarch and Dr. Mrs. The Monarch infiltrate the compound in disguise and plant bombs in its tunnels, but The Monarch is shocked to find a picture of him and Rusty as children with Jonas and his parents behind them, a meeting he does not remember. Hatred finds the bombs and assumes 21 is responsible. He has Dean leave them in front of S.P.H.I.N.X. headquarters and tries to get him to talk about his attitude, but Dean does not reveal what is troubling him. Post-credits scene: As Gathers destroys the empty S.P.H.I.N.X. ship, The Monarch detonates the bombs, unwittingly destroying the headquarters.
