The man called Apex by his employers was pissed. The girl with the big IQ had managed to escape him and he was wrecking the area within the dust cloud. A few of the melt men caught his rage and were torn apart by his powers and his secondary power took effect as he shifted violently into various civilians he had killed before shifting into one of the melt men he had just decapitated. As the dust began moving out on the wind in the air Fastlane approached the mercenary not knowing he had been followed back into the quarantine zone by a few of the other heroes.

"You smell like purple!" the violent shifter screamed with his melt man appearance creating bladed like weapons out of his arms and mass. 

The speedster with the twin lines running down his suit dodged several attacks before the shifter landed a few strikes taking the guy off his feet. The black and yellow clad Mal was out of his element and could barely see through the dust still in the area. Thankfully he could here more help on the way as the crazy Apex continued to push the attack. Fastlane ran back in close and threw a dozen or so punches and managed to connect with at least four, but the melt man looking adversary was tougher than he looked.

"Since when did the mutagen give melt men these kinds of powers?" Mal shouted to nobody in particular as he witnessed all of his attacks had little effect on the man who clearly had enhanced physical attributes.

"THAT'S NOT ONE OF THE MELTED PEOPLE! I SAW IT CHANGE THE WAY IT LOOKED!" screamed a lone survivor on top of a nearby rooftop camped out waiting for a rescue before firing a single shot from a rifle.
