Synopsis for "Bloodstrike Brutalists, Part 1: Dead Meat Club"
On February 1988, Bloodstrike takes out a hive of the Brotherhood of Man in Detroit, but members Fourplay and Shogun end up dead. Cabbot swears off group missions. On October, in Baltimore, John Locke, aka Deadlock, a repo man, repossesses a vehicle containing a teleportation prototype case. After finding it, he sells it to a gang composed of individuals named Gage, Starbright and Strongarm and he snorts all the profits he made from the sale. When the government raids his house, John passes away from a heart attack. After tests on his body reveal he's a nu-gene carrier, John is sent to Project: Born Again in Washington DC, where he begins being brought back to life so he can lead the feds to the teleportation prototype. In June, 1989, John escapes Project: Born Again for a fourth time. Because his reanimation process was cut short, he's delirious and murders random people. He is found by Gage, who recruits John into a team called The Four. In October, Deadlock, Gage, Starbright and Strongarm debut by fighting Youngblood members Chapel, Diehard and Vogue in Los Angeles. When Strongarm wounds Vogue, Diehard gains a resentment and, after Gage destroys Chapel's bike, he takes it out on Deadlock, killing him while the rest of the Four escape. Project: Born Again brings Deadlock back to life, merging him into the new Bloodstrike division. In November, Bloodstrike, with new member Tag, operates in Morocco, looking to capture three Katellans suspected of being spies. After they capture two of them, Deadlock murders the third, and Shogun is forced to put him down. In March, 1990, Deadlock is in Project: Born Again again, and scientists diagnose him with violent paranoid schizophrenia due to his early conditioning. In July, Deadlock is a stable member of Bloodstrike again, taking meds regularly. He doesn't remember dying before, or who The Four are.
