To persuade the Mole Man to pay, Trump sends the All-Winners Squad - U.S. Agent, Red Hulk, Punisher 2099, Harry Osborn (the Green Goblin), Tigra, and Silver Sable - deep underground! Yet with armies of monsters at his disposal, Mole Man is not easily persuaded! Is it possible to reach a diplomatic solution?!? Nah! Let's make with the punching!

"Old Habits Die Hard"

• Reclamation Project Facility, Westchester County, New York: Home to an undisclosed number of high risk psychologically challenged patients just a stones throw from the city. In safe hands they claim. Reports in the press are more skeptical. So who are these guys?
• Hold up, I'll take it from here. That's right, it's me Leonard. You may remember me by my former alias - the dapper but deadly Bullseye. That guy is mostly gone, along with the tacky costume and the obnoxious forehead branding. I am a new man. Sure, I'm locked up in here but it is not all bad. I squatted in much worse places. Ashley, I mean the lovely Dr. Kafka, is helping me solve my head problems, and they're getting me ready for a new mission, serving the good guys, on the white team. More like the hospital gown team for now. It's a process. Yep, a lot has changed in my life. Over there is Diaz, he's an orderly here and my new buddy, my main man, my brutha from anutha mutha. Need I go on? Anyways, Diaz gives me the lowdown. I am not the only one inside this place after all, though I am currently not allowed to make contact with other patients. There are at least two others in my ward that I have passed in the halls. One dude is real nervous like, doesn't even make eye contact. Diaz says he is alright. I think his name is Gill or something. Then there's the girl. I can't get a read on her. Seems different every time I see her. Diaz calls her Mary but he is a little weary about that one too. Dr. Kafka says we'll start group therapy soon. I am looking forward to talking to somebody other than the staff and myself, and you I guess..
  ***<Deafening Alarm Sounding>***
  What the **** is that?
  ***Intruder Alert, Code Red, Unauthorized Individual on the Premises. This isn't a drill. I repeat, this isn't a drill.***"
  Diaz, watch out man! Somebody's coming down the hall. He's packing, I can sense that somehow. Wait a sec, I know this cat....and who the hell set the trashcan on fire?...
• Derek Smalls aka Stone Cold has infiltrated The Reclamation Project facility, sanctioned to kill one man, the mysterious man in charge. However, he did not expect to run in to an old professional rival inside. Stone Cold might be heavily armed with a half dozen high powered guns but the world is a weapon to the man formerly known as Bullseye. Diaz's pen for example or the mop stick janitorial service haphazardly left drying in the corner. Sometimes it takes more than time to change a man of his ways. Instincts may die slow, but when Bullseye is around, everything but instinct dies surprisingly fast.
• See our hero "save" the day in his own special way, which means Leonard is ready for the next phase of the Reclamation Project. To be continued...

”WHAT IS THE RECLAMATION PROJECT?” by Ben Urich
A new foundation has recently sprung up in Westchester County. You may have noticed the modern renovations performed over the past year to the facility that once housed the super-criminally insane. That's right, Ravencroft Institute has received a 21st Century face-lift. But who now resides inside the building that once housed Doctor Octopus, Jackal, and even Carnage? That is a question a lot of local residents have been asking. Just what is the goal of the foundation itself? Who is funding it? Why all the new tech? And are the 5 Boroughs once again in danger of another super-villain powder-keg? I asked Reclamation Project Spokesperson Doctor Ashley Kafka those very questions.
Dr. Kafka "The participants of the project are volunteers. We have strict confidentiality agreements in place with all our residents, so I am not at liberty to speak of the individuals themselves. I would not call them patients. These are persons who are finding professional, scientifically tested help here to become productive members of society, giving back to the world in ways they never before dreamed. I assure you, the Project is doing wonders for all those inside. There are no criminals here. All involved have learned from past mistakes. These are civilians with great potential. The goal of the Project is simple: improve society, one person at a time. The Project is supported 100% by charitable contributions from mostly New Yorkers. We have been overwhlemed by the compassion of all our contributors. From all across the board, rich and poor, no matter your party affiliation, all walks of life have poured resources into our vaults and made all of this possible, as if God told them to do so. And that money is paying for a lot of new research into the improvement of the human being - physically, mentally and spiritually. Again, there is no danger to the citizens of New York, at least not from us. We take what was once weak, broken or to use a word I do not usually speak "bad" and make it whole again, make it valuable, make it "good." We are doing wonderful things at the Reclamation Project and soon the city will see those results."
I must note that Dr. Kafka refused to name any other members of the Reclamation Project board or staff, telling me that quote "They are a small team that values the privacy of their work and respects that of the Project volunteers." This reporter for one has seen his fair share of supposedly good projects gone bad, and in a country where a demagogue and a mutant share the presidency, I can not help but get that ominous feeling all over again.

"FEAR AND LOATHING IN CHANDILAR"
The Shi'ar Homeworld has fallen to Thanos' hordes. Once the shining jewel of the Imperium, now it's a war-zone. Members of the Excelsior crew - big heroes Hiro Takachiho and Baymax, as well as Ava'Dara Naganandini, a.k.a. Warbird - stayed behind to protect any survivors from vengeful Dire Wraith kill-squads looking to "fumigate" the planet and claim it as their own. The stranded crew members have to somehow get the group of civilians they assembled off world as nowhere on Chandilar is safe. It seems an impossible task, but one survivor has some tricks up his sleeve. After all, he survived one planet's destruction when he escaped Melmac. Could Alf be the hero Chandilar needs?
Meanwhile, the U.S.S. Excelsior has safely escorted the main Shi'ar refugee caravan to the sparsely-populated planet Namek, member of the Local Group Treaty Organization along with Earth. With the refugees safe, and Colonel Jameson recovering from his transformation into the lycanthropic Man-Wolf, will first officer Monica Chang order the ship back into danger to rescue those that stayed behind?
