Synopsis for "Foolsmate"

The Fury rushes the previously injured Captain Britain and begins to mercilessly pound the hero into the ground. Meanwhile, Mad Jim Jaspers sits amongst the ruins of London and weeps over his lack of companionship. However, he soon reminds himself of his god-like power as well as his innate ability to make friends easily, and so, the mutant constructs a new version of the Crazy Gang to accompany him in his world of madness.

Jaspers happily welcomes his new creations, explaining his role as the creator of the very world they've emerged into. He created everything...everything except that, he thinks as his gaze catches the Fury off in the distance as it prepares to finish off its prey. Befuddled by this creature's very existence within the warp, Mad Jim approaches the Fury and demands to know what it is.

As the Fury looks upon this new version of its creator, it remembers; back on the late Earth-238, it had been given the directive of eradicating all superbeings except the one who had made it. The Fury, however, hated Mad Jim of that deceased realm, and seeing as how the Jaspers who had made it was indeed dead, this must surely be a different James Jaspers. One that the Fury could happily kill without going against its prime directive.

Suddenly, the Fury raises it's gun arm and obliterates the Mad Jim of Earth-616. He quickly reconstructs his form, complete with pugilist attire, and makes his first move against the killing machine by turning it into a ball. Due to the knowledge gleamed from the supercomputer under Braddock Manor, the Fury easily adapts to its' new form and relatiates. The two humanoids continue to shift forms whilst battling each other to the death.

On Otherworld, Roma watches the confrontation via viewscreen and demmands that her father, Merlyn, explain what is going on. The game appears to be disintegrating, and the multiverse depends on this game, she surmises, but Merlyn remains silent. She wonders aloud if this is indeed the end before angrily shaking him, but the immortal wizard slumps in his seat: dead.
