The sky shattered as Omni-Man’s punch drove Mark Grayson through the street, asphalt exploding under the impact. Cars crumpled like paper in the shockwave. Dust and debris swirled in a choking cloud as a residential tower above them groaned, its spine cracking.

He collapsed to his knees on the broken pavement, fists balled against his forehead, overwhelmed by the collision of trauma and desperate relief. His eyes, wide and searching, locked onto yours.
