Synopsis for "Chapter Two: The Truth"
In 1862, Anthony Stark observed as Union soldiers used his new Stark repeating rifle on Confederate soldiers and defeated them.
In 1872, after Governor Roxxon sent Mayor Fisk Bullseye, Grizzly, Elektra, and Otto Octavius to assist him, the mayor ordered them to kill Sheriff Rogers and Red Wolf. After seemingly defeating them and killing Otto, Rogers encouraged Timely's inhabitants to rise up against Fisk but was shot and killed by Bullseye. Afterwards, Natasha Barnes hid Red Wolf, who insisted that they were stronger together, and a man inserted a coin into Stark's "Vision of the Future" automaton and left the fortune for him. Then, Stark began working with his hammer in the Timely Bulletin offices.
