PROLOGUE

Derek Powers, CEO of Powers Technology and a corporate kingpin, takes over Wayne Enterprises and merges the two companies forming Wayne-Powers. Under Powers’ leadership the company continues to grow, however, it enters into the research and manufacture of weapons much to Bruce’s dismay. But due to the former caped crusader’s failing health in his old age, Powers’ is left with unsupervised, free-reign over the company.
He develops a deadly mutagen with plans to sell it internationally. He stages a lab accident and tests the gas on one of his employees, Harry Tully. Before his death however, Harry manages to pass on vital information about Powers’ unethical dealings to a co-worker, Warren McGinnis.
