The Martians launch their invasion of Earth, first taking out a Stormwatch Sentinel sattellite and then destroying 76.3% of Earth's military; Earth's super-heroes begin to notice the attack: Grunge and Caitlan Fairchild see reports on the television in California; Spawn defends his alley friends from giant insects in New York; Savage Dragon and Superpatriot rescue Alex Wilde on the streets of Chicago; and President Bill Clinton calls Jacob Marlowe to ask for the WildC.A.T.S. assistance; The Martians discuss that if they face too much trouble from Earth's heroes they will promise Earth's governments peace if they surrender their super-heroes.
