    Summary:
    Logan and Hawkeye meet the new Kingpin of Crime!

    Logan and Hawkeye learns that Ashley -- Hawkeye's daughter to Tonya, Peter Parker's daughter -- is held captive by the new Kingpin. Clint convinces Logan to help him find his "superhero" daughter and his pay is doubled -- despite the fact that Logan will only help him as a map-reader, and will not fight; Logan is adamant that he will never EVER pop his claws again. Ultron then gives Logan an X-Men medallion for good luck -- a brief flashback was shown.

    They shortly arrive at Cedar City, Utah, most of which is under the ground, with only the rooftops and a big church spire sticking out the ground. On the spire was a man holding on to it, seems paralyzed with fear. They move on.

    Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City. The Kingpin - a black guy dressed up as a punk rocker of sorts - addresses the crowd and Ashley's accomplices, Daredevil and Punisher, who are chained in the middle of the stadium. Kingpin reminds everyone who "the top dog is" and the fact that he got to be there after offing Magneto. Shortly, he unleashes a couple of raptors which tore them to pieces.

    Nearby, Logan scopes out the building -- a customized Walmart -- where Ashley is held. Hawkeye then tells Logan of his "genius plan" -- Logan drives Spiderbuggy on the side of the nearby building, build up speed, and crash into the Walmart. Plan worked.

    Hawkeye then kills off everyone that stood on his path until he reaches Ashley's cell. After freeing her, the Kingpin arrives. Ashley quickly grabs a shotgun and swings it soooooo hard, that she beheads the Kingpin. She then hits her father. Only then that she revealed her true intentions -- to take over the Kingpin's operations, not to free everybody from the his rule.

    As she is about to take out his own father, Logan is on the wheel and curses "damn you to hell for making me do this, Hawkeye".
