Synopsis:
Clonus and the Wanderers meet Velissa, the clone of the wife of Clonus Prime. She has become the queen of the hatchlings. Her children have kept her alive for lifetimes by feeding off the energies of their victims. At first she wants to kill the Wanderers, but after Psyche blasts her, Velissa decides she wants to die. She causes the Wanderers to project powerful feelings of hatred into Psyche, who is forced to expel the psychic energy and kill Velissa. The Wanderers then escape the planetoid which Quantum Queen destroys. The team is concerned over the knowledge that any children they may have will also turn into monsters because they are clones.
