- #2“PANEL 1 Wide shot. A dockside warehouse at night, VALE SHIPPING stenciled on a rusted sign. Crates being loaded by armed men. CAPTION: Vale's last clean-looking warehouse. Emphasis on looking. PANEL 2 A crate cracks open. Not drugs falling out — a basketball rolling to a stop at a guard's feet, glowing faintly. GUARD 1: ...Boss, why is there a basketball in the coke shipment— PANEL 3 The ball detonates — not lethally, but with a concussive WHOOM that sends the guard flying into a stack of crates”
- #6“Dunkman change to Ryan Doyle”
- #7“PANEL 4 Mac nods slowly. MAC: Yes. It's yours now, fully. Not on loan. Yours. PAGE FIVE PANEL 1 Mac's form starts to dim slightly at the edges — softer, like a light fading, not dramatic. MAC: I won't be able to come back like this again. This was the last of what I had to give. PANEL 2 Ryan's face falls. RYAN: Dad, wait— MAC: You can still call on me. If you truly need it — I'll hear you. But you don't need me standing over your shoulder anymore, Ryan. You proved that tonight. PANEL 3 Close on ”
- #14“(Infographic-style page — a "how it works" spread, common in first issues to establish power mechanics visually) PANEL 1 Ryan in street clothes, holding the plain-looking basketball. CAPTION: The ball, at rest. Looks exactly like what it is. This is the problem and the genius of it. PANEL 2 He grips it with both hands. Light crawls up his arms. CAPTION: Contact triggers the transformation. Suit deploys in under a second — nanofiber weave, laced with the same energy as the ball itself. PANEL 3 Fu”
- #15“PAGE SEVEN PANEL 1 Newspaper headline montage: "VALE INDICTED," "METRO VIPERS FRANCHISE DISSOLVED," "PLAYERS SEEK NEW CONTRACTS." CAPTION: With Vale in federal custody, the Vipers organization collapsed within the month. Assets frozen. Roster dissolved. PANEL 2 Ryan, in a nicer, cleaner locker room now, pulling on a new jersey — a different team, brighter colors. CAPTION: Every player on that roster got picked up somewhere. Ryan got the most calls of any of them. PANEL 3 A reporter shoves a mic ”
- #16“Change the black man to desmond vale as shown before.hebis a white man”
- #17“PANEL 1 A new warehouse, different location, same operation — crates, armed men, business as usual. CAPTION: Three weeks later. PANEL 2 A police scanner crackles in Ryan's apartment. He freezes mid-**** of cereal. SCANNER (V.O.): ...multiple units responding to reports of a Vale Shipping warehouse, address unconfirmed... RYAN: That's not possible. He's in federal prison. PANEL 3 Dunkman, suited up, arrives at the warehouse — same layout as before, uncomfortably familiar. DUNKMAN: Déjà vu. Not a ”
- #18“Desmond vale white black hair. Federal prison, grim fluorescent lighting. Vale, in an orange jumpsuit, staring at a small TV bolted to the wall — Ryan's post-game interview playing. VALE (low): ...Doyle. PANEL 2 Close on Vale's face — the pieces clicking into place with real fury. VALE: Fourteenth man on my own roster. Right under my nose. The whole time. PANEL 3 A cellblock neighbor leans against the bars nearby — CROWLEY, gaunt, tattoos that shift slightly when the light hits them wrong, unset”
- #19“His father told him what really happened. There was no mugging. A syndicate of professional gamblers — men who'd built fortunes shaving points off "unshaveable" games — had approached Mac Doyle three separate times to throw a playoff series. Three times he refused, on principle, on love of the game, on the simple fact that he would rather lose everything than let strangers own something as pure as a ball going through a net. The third refusal got him killed and made to look random. The men respo”
- #20“PANEL 1 (large, top of page) Mac's ghost, expression grown heavy, no longer gentle. The warmth from before has drained out of his face. MAC: Ryan. Before you decide anything — you need to know the truth about that night. PANEL 2 (small, tucked below) Close on Ryan, stillness in his face. He already senses this will hurt. RYAN: ...It wasn't a mugging. PANEL 3 (wide panel spanning the bottom) Mac, looking away toward the dark end of the court, as if looking through time itself. MAC: No. It wasn't.”
- #21“change the dunkman to Normal Ruan Doyle”
- #22“Different Name" PAGE ONE PANEL 1 (wide, establishing) A run-down amateur fight club gym under Vale Holdings signage — cracked mirrors, worn mats, fluorescent lights buzzing. Fighters training in the background. CAPTION: Vale didn't only own clean franchises. He owned the dirty ones too — small, forgettable, easy to launder money through. PANEL 2 (medium) A clipboard being handed across a front desk. New enrollment paperwork. A hand signs it — not "Ryan Doyle." CAPTION: Which meant, for once, bei”
