The Hand That Shocks The Cradle Rules The World! Doctor William Magnus, Platinum and Iron arrive at the site of "Babylab". Magnus spies on the other Metal Men waving at him. However, Platinum sees through the illusion. The "Metal Men" are really the Brain Children. Under their telepathic assault, Magnus first becomes irrational, then suicidal. Platinum prevents Magnus from killing himself, then leads the Brain Children away from him. While the majority of the Brain Children chase Platinum, the one in charge, Albert, reports their failure to take down the Metal Men back to Doctor Strangeglove. While Albert is being berated by Doctor Strangeglove for his incompetency, Magnus, still acting irrationally, charges Albert. With a simple thought, Albert renders Magnus unconscious. Platinum leads the Brain Children to Iron, who imprisons them all. Doctor Strangeglove comes out of hiding to collect Magnus, nearly getting run over and injured by Iron.
