Wonder Woman rescues a trucker who wrecked his rig because of an obsessive compulsion to play a video game. The game finds its way into the hands of the Blockbuster, who is currently staying with the Macon family in Bleak Rock. When Mr. Macon tries to take the game away, Blockbuster angrily slaps him away and, resorting to savagery for the first time since meeting the Macons, smashes out of their house and escapes. While Diana Prince is being given a surprise birthday party (since that day is the fake birthday she gave the U.S. Army), she hears a news broadcast that the Blockbuster is attacking missile silos in the Appalachians. She secretly switches to Wonder Woman, goes to the Appalachians, and battles Blockbuster until little Carrie Macon approaches him and gives him the broken video game, which pacifies him. Wonder Woman allows Blockbuster to go back with the Macons. Later, Wonder Woman tells Steve that there is something sinister about the “Commander Video” game, but after she leaves, he takes a version of the game out of his desk drawer and, glassy-eyed, begins playing it.
