Ten years have passed since Nathan “RAD” Spencer, the Bionic Commando, managed to defeat the Imperials and destroy their secret weapon, the Albatross, in the events of Bionic Commando Rearmed. In the aftermath, Spencer and his comrade Joseph “Super Joe” Gibson were praised as heroes by the entire nation.
TASC, the military intelligence organization that provided Spencer with his Bionic Arm, soon found their bionics program in great demand. Now under the command of Joseph Gibson, the organization flourished, and many other operatives were enhanced with bionic parts.
As the original Bionic Commando, Nathan Spencer became responsible for training these new operatives. At the same time, Spencer began to undertake a series of high risk, covert operations. On one such mission, codenamed Operation Blackout (the events of which are detailed in the comic book Chain of Command), Spencer’s sense of justice came into conflict with the orders from his superior and friend Gibson.
In refusing to kill two rogue bionic prototypes, Spencer disobeyed a direct order which ultimately led to the deaths of several TASC agents. Spencer was court-martialed, convicted of treason, and sentenced to death.
Five years after the Bionic Purge and a series of minor terrorist attacks, BioReign came into possession of a weapon of monumental destructive power, known as the Witherer. They detonated this weapon in Ascension City, the pride of the FSA. The experimental WMD, unleashed a kinetic pulse deep into the earth's core, triggering a massive earthquake that reduced the city to ruins. In the aftermath, BioReign have moved in and occupied the city, taking control of the air defense grid. Their hold on the city is absolute, their motive remains unclear, and after failed ground and air assaults, the FSA is running out of options.
Super Joe realizes there is only one last chance - Spencer. A broken man on death row awaiting execution, stripped of the bionics that made him someone special. But if reunited with his arm, Spencer is the one man capable of navigating the terrain of the broken city. The one man who has experience fighting and defeating the forces that make up BioReign...the one man with nothing left to lose.
