The ~~Apex City~~ Bulbous Quarry villains are only two items away from building the Devilish Device that will allow them to track down Porter, the fiend who possessed their comrade, destroyed their lives, and landed them in exile. To complete the machine, they’ll need to find an angel’s feather and the totem of a demon, both of which they will have to physically remove from living hosts. Hoping to harvest a demonic totem, the group gets in touch with the League of Supervillains to see if there are any Hellbinders out there who the organization has marked for death, and they are assigned to eliminate a newbie ne’er-do-well named Velociraptor Jones. Meanwhile, Pete, Peyton and Weyland continue to learn more about the fatal last score of the Phantom Fist and his crew. Can the gang take down one of their own in cold blood, or will they find themselves facing an unfortunate bout of conscience? Listen to find out!

The fearsome villains of Bulbous Quarry are one step closer to building the devilish device they need to track down Porter, the demon who ruined their lives. In the meantime, the circumstances of their exile continue to worsen. Peyton, currently working kennel duty at an upscale pet salon, finds himself in an awkward position when his boss’s lapdog decides to blackmail him. Peter, who is currently managing accounts at a cash register repair firm, has an unexpected meeting with an old friend. Weylan, now a junior cashier at the local museum’s gift shop, pines for the affections of his much younger boss. When they learn that an exhibit of priceless Egyptian artifacts, newly liberated from the now-defunct Fear Force Five in Apex City, is to be showcased at Weylan’s workplace, the team bands together to take back what was once not-so-rightfully theirs. However, the security protecting the exhibit has been significantly increased, and old tensions strain the group to the breaking point. The Phantom Force will need a solid plan, perfect timing, and the assistance of a newly recruited henchman to pull off the museum heist of the century, again.

As the surviving members of the former Fear Force Five adjust to their humiliating new lives in Bulbous Quarry, they discover that Porter, the demon responsible for their fall from grace, has resurfaced on Earth. In order to track down the fiend who ruined their lives, the team is going to need to build a devilish device with some very specific materials, including a sample of blood from a creature that is the last of its kind. They decide to burgle a genetics company that has cloned a wooly mammoth, but the job is not as easy as it might seem. During the heist, Weyland and Pete must fulfill harsh demands from their demons, and the team must keep the caper’s true purpose a secret from their new team leader, Blake. On top of all that, Peyton and the mammoth strike up a tenuous friendship, one that could be ruined at any moment by his Hellbinder companions. The Phantom Force is in for a bloody clash of demonic sadism, wounded pride and nagging conscience, this week on ~~Apex City~~ Bulbous Quarry Capers!

In the wake of Porter’s abortive Hell-dragging, the members of the Fear Force Five find their lives in ruins. Now that the public knows their civilian identities, they can no longer operate within Apex City, so the League of Supervillains offers them a chance to start over in a new locale. The team is sent to the desert metropolis of Bulbous Quarry, where they are given new lives and assigned to work under the supervision of a once-great villain who’s looking to get back in the game. Far from home, the Triple-F must once again start from scratch with new villainous personas and gimmicks. Can they use this exile as an opportunity to reclaim their former glory, or is it merely a kind of living hell? Will they be able to stay on the League’s good side after all the trouble they caused? And what about Porter, the demon whose talisman the surviving members have vowed to destroy? Find out, this week in our Better Angels campaign!

Following the near-disaster of their bank heist, The Fear Force Five head back to their new hideout in the abandoned warehouse to count their loot and regroup. What they don’t realize is that Porter, the demon fueling The Sparkler’s powers, has assumed control of his host, and intends to drag his poor, mewling mortal bodily to the hot place. Now, Porter has just twenty-four hours to run roughshod over The Sparkler’s life, destroying the things he loves the most. His family is in danger, as are his trainer, his crush, and even his cat, Sylvester. What none of them could anticipate is that the Fear Force Five itself is also on the list, which means that Porter is obligated to bring ruin down on their heads. Can Apex City’s most feared team of supervillains save one of their own from an eternity in perdition–and, more importantly, after Porter finishes his work, will they even want to? Listen to find out!
