Feeling that conventional police tactics and SWAT teams are ineffective against superhuman criminals, Lieutenant Stone proposes a program to create a specialized unit. Dubbed Code: Blue, the group's first assignment is to take down the Wrecking Crew. Surrounded by police while holding a hostage, Wrecker attempts to find the rock troll Ulik, but his inexperience gave Code: Blue enough time to secure positions around the building and attack. The organized strike enables the officers to free the hostage while slowing the Wrecking Crew down. Eventually, the Wrecker used his crowbar to teleport his allies away leaving Code: Blue to score their first mission as a win.^[2]
