Welcome back to The Injustice Wars. Last time, John Constantine officially left the battle, for good this time, citing his family. And apparently, this is elevating their chances beyond FUBAR levels of bad. Meanwhile, Darkblood prepares his corrupted Doctor Fate to wreak havoc somewhere when the Red Lanterns came through and formed a deadly alliance. But we're not rejoining those points, not right now anyways. Today, we're doing something I was never sure of how to do. It's time for an introduction. Of whom though? Read on to discover...

(Our scene picks up in Metropolis, where more of Brainiac's drones have descended and are corralling civilians for Brainiac to collect. But just as they do, a gunshot rings out, hitting one of the drones through the head. And as it falls we see the one who fired the shot: a man in khakis, a red shirt that's probably a size too small featuring a dove symbol, and a really weird looking metal helmet)

Peacemaker: And this is what happens when you take out peace!

Civilians: (Alternating in the chatter) Is that Peacemaker? I thought he was dead! We're saved!

?: How can these Regime creeps show their faces these days?!

Peacemaker: (Having heard that, then grabbing the guy by the throat) Now you listen here, you little bastard. The Regime was the closest this planet has come to peace in 2000 years. And I for one am not going to give it up so easily.

(Clearly this stranger isn't taking being pushed around by a C-Lister like Peacemaker too well, as he grabs Peacemaker's gun. And just as he does, he somehow forces the weapon to explode, nearly taking the delusional vigilante's hand off)

Peacemaker: How the **** did you do that?!

?: How do you think?!

Peacemaker: A meta? You?

?: Yeah, and one who's not going to let the Regime rise to power again!

(With that, the figure whips off the coat and hat he was wearing a costume that looks like a mix between a punk rocker and a wrestling heel, and is shinier than Peacemaker's helmet)

?: Monsters like you killed my only friends, and for what? Just because they opposed your tyranny?! I won't stop until every last one of you Regime bastards is dead!

Peacemaker: And what makes you think you can stop me, punk?

Punk: You know what, I kind of like the ring to that.

Peacemaker: What the **** are you talking about?

Punk: Let's just say when your fellow stooges ask you who served you up a knuckle sandwich, tell them Punk's Deli is ready to accept their business.

Peacemaker: (Pulls another gun out of seemingly nowhere) You just lost any shot at mercy.

Punk: Wouldn't have accepted it from you anyways. Prepare to get Punked!

(And with that, the battle begins, Punk vs Peacemaker. Peacemaker fires on Punk, but Punk uses his powers to make the bullets explode in midair, atomizing them somehow)

Peacemaker: You could've been great in the Regime, kid. (Grabs him by the throat) It goes against my instincts, but I'll give you one more chance.

Punk: (Spits in his face) Like hell I'd side with you. Not after what your ilk did to my friends.

Peacemaker: They were casualties of war.

Punk: Do you even know their names?

Peacemaker: Don't need to. Casualties of war. Nobody remembers them.

Punk: Wrong, you bastard, I DO! (Detonates Peacemaker's second gun before just swarming him with punches.) THEA QUEEN, FAROOQ GIBRAN, JAKE DAVENPORT, DARIA KIM, LONNIE MACHIN!

(As the seven names are read out, Peacemaker's helmet is so dented that his skull has to have cracked in seven places, both of his arms are busted, and Punk has just taken out a baseball bat and busted both of his kneecaps.)

Punk: All of them had so much to offer the world, yet somehow I'm the one who survives. Now I see why. It's to avenge them. I was gifted with these powers to see justice done. And now, this is where my quest for revenge begins. Enjoy your last seconds alive, bastard.

Peacemaker: If you think this is going to stop the Regime from rising again, you must be out of your goddamn mind, kid!

Punk: Your time just ran out.

(With that, Punk focuses his powers, and soon Peacemaker starts sweating, as his helmet starts to heat up. Punk is clearly focusing his powers on Peacemaker)

Peacemaker: (Realizing exactly what he's doing) You mother...

(Before Peacemaker can finish that sentence, his head explodes, popping the helmet off like a champagne cork, leaving it only mildly deformed as it lands at Punk's feet)

Punk: (Picking up the helmet) Huh. Half expected this to become shrapnel. (Thinks about it) Should serve as a nice warning to any Regime creeps left.

(With that, Punk disappears into an alleyway before another wave of Brainiac robots appear, ending our scene for today)

And that looks like a good place to end for today. So, everybody, give a welcome to one of Null's original 10 Fighters: Punk! He's one of two I struggled with introducing for some time. Still working on the other one, but he'll be around. Now, this little intro was not exactly what I had initially planned. When I first envisioned this scene, I had Punk, Peacemaker, and Anarky teaming up. But then I realized it's much more in Peacemaker's character to have sided with the Regime. And looking back on Punk's original intros, I realized he was a loner, so I just made Anarky, real name Lonnie Machin, one of Punk's dead friends. Something tells me Blaze and co are not going to like this guy pissing off the Regime's remnants, especially now that Superman's back. So, when will they meet? Tune in next time to find out! Same time... same channel!
