Heaton military base, the two heroes had offered their services to help protect an experimental new weapon - the Nega-Bomb. Super-Tough led his partner into battle to fend off a group of heavily armed men who were trying to steal the device and use its potential for mass destruction for their own ends. Damien Darklord engineered events enough to lead to the detonation of the original Nega-Bomb. Several people were killed, including Super-Tough and Damien Darklord.

Super-Tough was the only one left to challenge his rule. who adopted the role of freedom fighter. Unfortunately, Super-Tough's efforts are not nearly enough to topple the superior powered villain.
