The Rescue - It takes a lot to kill Wolverine - whose mutant healing factor is proof against any wound - but he's been through a lot, and more. Tonight, his luck, and power, may just have run out.

God and Country - In northern California, the super-soldier experiment has failed yet again, claiming the life of Senator Wilbur Wycombe. In Washington, Colonel Jody Choate has decided, against the advice of his lawyer, to throw himself on the mercy of the American people and imlicate no one but himself in the Latverian arms scandal. In the Florida glades, reporter Mickey Ditillio has escaped the clutches of Zahner and Monteiro. And in the little town of Casagata, Man-Thing and the Devil Priestess Marea are about to forge a strange and meaningful relationship...

Lures - Needing help to rescue Leiko from an unknown terrorist base, Shang-Chi recruits the former Hong Kong gangster Shen Kuei (also known as Cat), and takes him to a junk floating in the harbor. There, Tarr and Reston brief them on a plan to infiltrate the Yakuza, Japanese gangsters suspected of smuggling arms to the uniting terrorist factions. Returning to the docks, Chi and Cat agree to pose as Yakuza. Behind them, the junk promptly blows up.

You'll See It When You Believe It - When Matt Murdock was blinded by radioactive chemicals, his remaining senses were heightened to an inhuman degree. Now, he protects the people of New York not only as a para-legal attorney, but also as Daredevil, the Man Without Fear...
