You see, centuries ago, it took nothing less than the Hand of God to stop me. But that was in the days of miracles. And those days are as dead as the creator who was responsible for them.

Synopsis for "Electric Warriors"
Ba'al's pseudo-vampire agents ambush Wolverine and his pals a short distance away from the Princess Bar. Dispatching the attackers, Wolverine takes his leave of O'Donnell and Captain Tai and heads towards the castle of Prince Baran.
At the castle, Jessica Drew tries to talk Prince Baran out of siding with Ba'al. Ba'al offers to make Baran immortal in exchange for the final piece to the Gehenna Stone. Baran muses over the offer, but his unwillingness to commit to a decision right away makes Ba'al impatient. Baran orders him to leave, but Ba'al decimates Baran's guards. He forcibly takes the final peace to the Gehenna Stone and Jessica leaps upon his back.
Wolverine and Burt Corrigan arrive at the palace (from two different origin points) and make their way to the prince's throne room. Wolverine slashes his way through more of Ba'al's agents, but he is not quick enough to prevent Ba'al from inserting the final fragment into the now-completed Gehenna Stone. Charged with power, Ba'al unleashes a wave of energy at his enemies. Jessica and Prince Baran fight the Baalists that begin pouring into the room while Wolverine takes the fight directly to Ba'al. Ba'al senses something strange about Wolverine -- something that reminds him of the Hand of God, the warrior who first slew him ages ago. As if he were channeling the Hand of God's spirit, Wolverine slashes at the Gehenna Stone, shattering it. He then stabs Ba'al in the chest. The impact of the blow sends both men through the wall and down into the water below. Wolverine gets up immediately. Ba'al rises, staggers, then pitches forward, seemingly dead.
With the excitement now over, Wolverine, Archie and Jessica retire to the Princess Bar for some well-earned relaxation. They suddenly notice that Burt is not with them. Burt has gone off on his own. Assuming a new persona, that of super-spy James Bond, Burt goes to the poker tables of Monte Carlo and breaks the bank.
Notes
- Although it is never outright stated, it is heavily implied that Wolverine is either a descendant or the reincarnation of an ancient warrior known as the Hand of God. It was the Hand of God that first slew Ba'al and destroyed the Gehenna Stone, scattering its fragments to the four corners of the globe.
