Synopsis for "Capes, Part 5"

The back-up story begins with Kid Thor and Knockout arriving to see that Bolt didn't actually need their help dealing with Vault. They look up and are shocked when they notice Chronodile looming over them. They all wonder how they can possibly defeat him.

Chronodile swats a helicopter out of the sky. He says he is insulted by the puny attack and wants to know where the superheroes are at. He wants a challenge. His plan is to find the descendants of the rulers of Egypt and reestablish a dialogue with the gods. He will make a ruling class that all must bow to. Only the superheroes can stand in his way so he wants to take care of them.

The air force launches missiles at Chronodile but he just shrugs them off and continues to demand a challenge from the superheroes. He's pleased when he sees the entire Capes, Inc. roster arrive.
