Synopsis for "Countdown Presents: Lord Havok and the Extremists - Part Three: The Beast Within"

In a side-story of Tracer's past; during the Iranian War, soldier Vincent Cade is caught for deserting. As he is being arrested, enemy artillery fire hit their location, critically injuring Vincent.

Following Lord Havok's declination, Monarch's followers and Havok and his Extremists are about to fight each other. However, Monarch decides not to do anything about it and have his forces to leave Slovekia, but not before telling Havok that he will soon "learn".

Cade is then inhumanely experimented in Experiment House as "tomorrow's soldier" and is given the codename Tracer.

Sometime later, Doctor Diehard express his dissatisfaction to Havok for rejecting Monarch's offer, given that he would provide a more greater ally in their war against the Meta Militia, and having only in creating another enemy for the Extremists. Havok, however, reply that he have his own reasons and question to Diehard if he intends to challenge his leadership, in which Diehard quietly relents.

Meanwhile in the White Tower, Blue Jay explains to Americommando from outside his office the reason that the International Union turned down the invasion of Slovekia is because of how their leadership of their nation has been more aggressive, asserted that they had conquered Ontario into the United States of Angor. Americommando, after sending a call girl out, is callous of Blue Jay's reasons, and ask him for the "service" line before slamming the door in front of his vice-president.

Tracer broke loose of his bondage and kills several scientists. The superiors who are watching Tracer's action in a safe room are impressed with the results. They then talk of the computer chip that is implanted in Tracer's head of whether it is capable in disabling and controlling him. They then test their theory by forcefully sending a young girl in for Tracer to kill. In absolute disgust, Tracer disobey their order and is then controlled via the chip inside his head into killing her.

In a liquor bar in Philadelphia, Tracer receives a "job" from Momo.

Tracer is then sent on his first mission with Eagle and Americommando. After brutally killing many enemy soldiers, Tracer berserk and kills Eagle and was subdued by his embedded chip. As Americommando about to kill Tracer, Lord Havok arrived, blasts away Americommando, removed the chip, and offered Tracer his friendship.

As Tracer followed the written direction given from Momo, it is revealed to be a trap for Tracer as he is confronted by Monarch's transdimensional minions. Tracer then fight them and is eventually hanged by an alternate Wonder Woman, Bizarra.
