Paul Bouvier has lost his legs, and knows he is slowly dying of poisoning.

Shanhara, the X-O Armor has been destroyed.

There is a seed, however, that just needs a sentient being to bond with to become a new suit of X-O Armor.

In the classic Seed of Destruction storyline, Aric and Solar enter the Spider Alien’s base, and Aric faces the Spider Alien champion in hand to hand combat.

Aric’s femme fatale bodyguard Randy dons the X-O armor in issue #21, giving us a new attitude and flavor to what has come before!
