Synopsis for "Shallow Grave"

Dexter Cortex appoints a new vice-president to run Cor-Tek’s Japan branch whose first task is to dispose of the remains of his predecessor, Kyoga.  Supreme wanders Tokyo wondering who he is, hounded by locals who want him to leave.  He saves a young girl falling from a building but “she” is actually a robot set to explode. The blast sends him crashing back to the street where an angry mob swarms him.  Above, Cortex watches with satisfaction; he deployed the robot. Supreme wakes up wired to a memory probe in Cortex’s lab.  After revealing that Zero Squadron worked for him, he has the probe give Supreme an overview of the original Supreme’s life.  He then gives Supreme contact information for the first Kid Supreme, Charles Flanders, in Washington, D.C.  After Supreme departs, Cortex’s vice-president verifies that a genetic scan verifies this Supreme is not the original.  Satisfied, Cortex teleports back to New York.  In Providence, Rhode Island, a pregnant woman in labor knocks on the door of her doctor, Anthony Bryce.  Half an hour later, Bryce a.k.a. the Baptist presents the newborn to his cult the Blackhearts and proclaims the child to be the son of their master, Darkthornn.  Supreme reaches D.C. and is immediately attacked by the current Kid Supreme, Danny Fuller, for being an impostor.  Supreme fends him off and asks to talk, mistaking Fuller for Flanders.  Then, Flanders himself appears and says he is the real Kid Supreme.
