Far from the family who had secretly monitored him, armed guards follow Odin's every movement through an underground facility dedicated to the secret project known only as Solar Flare. Under the constant surveillance of General Edward Delgado, Odin is subjected to daily experiments which push his powers to their very limits and beyond.
