Soon, they set their sights on kidnapping the Prime Minister himself, presuming to force the entire Middle East into turmoil. When the Majesties get wind of the news, they mobilize from Hero City - home of The Capes - and quickly set off with plans to hunt down the new evil band of Super-Normals and rescue the Prime Minister. But to their surprise, the group is very different from any Super-Normals before, as they are a ragged band of magicians that skillfully wield magnificent powers that none of the seven super soldiers had ever experienced.

Following the events of INFINITY 7: Gods Among Men, we find Sebastian (a.k.a. Paladin) being visited by a strange traveler who promises to hold the secret to finding his deceased girlfriend Karla (the Blurr). Sebastian, hurt and desperate for answers, is mortally wounded by her loss and is willing to do anything to try to fill the void in his heart, even if it means staring down the barrel of despair. After listening to the news from the stranger, his concern for what the future may promise is overshadowed by the thought of being reunited with his first love, and he is compelled to follow his heart on a quest to bring her back from the void of death - with the sacrifice of his own life as the potential penance. Accompanied by Thief, they are united with the all-knowing Super-Normal known as Zenith - who although has vowed not to get involved in the toils of men - surprisingly agrees to guide them across the galaxy to unearth the clues which will hopefully lead them to the hidden realm of Hellfire where souls are kept in a state of purgatory rest. This desolate place is rumored to be run by a ruthless, time-bending celestial being named Ghazi who will offer the ultimate test against Paladin's S4 Super-Suit Variants and Thief's spectacular power-leaching gifts. But once the ultimate truth is revealed, will this duo have enough fortitude to withstand the onslaught of the unknown and reunite their trio of Super-Normals once again and defy death itself?

As the universe tries to recover from the Banorbenga plague, Earth has become home to many alien life forms. The Dark Spores accident in Hero City continues to take its toll, spreading through the world and increasing the number of Super-Normals exponentially. This has done nothing but exacerbate the fear of humans beings, along with their concerns of Super-Normal uprisings and the inevitable decimation of all mankind. Thus, the creation of the radical, hate-monger group known as the Cast Aways, who want nothing more than to rid the planet of any beings possessing supernatural powers, chanting the phrase, “Humans must remain the dominant race!” The evil Pirate Warrior Havoc returns to Earth to destroy Menzuo and the Solar Warriors, but he is not alone. Traveling with a swarm of Pirate Drones, an all-out war looms within the city of Springfield, MA, interrupting the Cast Aways' protest. As hated as they are, Menzuo, Allucio, and Desmurose must protect the planet they now call home along with the people that both revere and hate them at the same time. As the battle for supremacy rocks the city, an unexpected warrior enters the fray. Now, only more questions remain - Is the visitor friend or a foe? And furthermore, will Menzuo and his team finally bring peace to the planet, or is this just the beginning of the end?

The United Nations has handed control of the International Defense Network to Marshal Dae, a man who seems to harbor limitless bigotry toward any Super-Normal. The moment he takes control, the IDN is disbanded and super-villains across the world launch simultaneous attacks against high-profile targets to send panic and fear throughout the planet. Bark, Snow, and Spark are sent to IDN headquarters to investigate what is happening and put an end to the madness before millions are destroyed. But as fate would have it, the moment they set foot on the island, their hopes quickly turn to dread with the realization that the situation is indeed worse than they could have ever imagined as the IDN shut down, necessitating a virtual miracle to restore it. And before the team even considers a recourse, they'll have to answer two more important questions - how are the villains so coordinated, and what exactly is Marshal Dae up to?
