10. The Saphrax Protocol

Complete story — includes the ending

Dean tries to apologize to a comatose Hank by listing off the ways he has been a bad brother and admits he wants things to go back to normal. Hank awakens in a world that is a cross between The Empire Strikes Back and the film Barbarella, realizing it is purgatory. He meets the Action Man, who reveals that his mother's name is "Bobbi St. Simone". Phage, in a coma after his cybernetic parts injured him during a teleporter test, saves them from a wampa. Hank jumps into the Mathmos to escape. The Guild uses Rusty's teleporter to break into VenTech Tower and take Rusty to Meteor Majeure. They leave behind a squadron of soldiers to subdue Brock, who he gleefully massacres. The Council hosts The Monarch's level ten promotion ceremony on Meteor Majeure, where he and 21 are put through several tests. 21 is offered a villain role, and the Council gives The Monarch the choice to kill Rusty. Annoyed, he decries the rituals and 21 sides with him, only for the Council to reveal that the rejection was the final test. With Brock threatening to come through the teleporter if they do not send Rusty back, Watch and Ward go to fetch him, revealing in the process that they tested Rusty's blood and that he is related to The Monarch. Post-credits scene: Dean wakes up to learn that Hank has left the hospital, who vanishes into the crowd wearing his Batman mask, stating that "it's time I grow up."
