Synopsis for 1st story
In eastern Germany, a Stormwatch team consisting of new members Blademaster, Comanche, Flint, and Swift battles four German superhuman terrorists—Jackrabbit, Little John, Tripwire, and Vise—as photographer Nick Chaplin watches. Three days earlier, a magazine editor offered Chaplin the chance to document a Stormwatch mission. The next day, returned Weatherman Henry Bendix briefed Chaplin, Captain Ken Tucker, and the new Stormwatch members on a terrorist bombing in Berlin and ordered them to investigate. In the Czech Republic, a squad of armored Stormforce troops led by Tucker flies toward a biological weapons development lab. After successfully evading a surface-to-air missile with their aircraft, they land and attack the troops guarding the facility. Six days earlier, with the current Stormwatch team recovering from the battle with Despot, Synergy and Weatherman promoted the four new members to active status. While Stormwatch continues fighting the terrorists, Chaplin sneaks inside the building they were guarding and finds several mutated humanoids in stasis. Their creator, Dr. Martin Krug, introduces himself.
