There's an episode of Babylon 5 about a 'reformed' (he got his personality erased or something) serial killer who comes to the station as a monk or something. Then a bunch of murders occur and he begins to doubt himself, because he recognizes the method or whatever. spoiler (click to show/hide)
Turns out it's just a relative (?) of a former victim, trying to get revenge.
I take a step outside the stash house. Dilapidated wooden buildings and despondent, aimless card-players convince me it's time to leave this town in favor of my ranch. Buttes, saguaros and dried foliage dot the adobe red landscape, a familiar Jamie Liddell tune plays in my minds eye, amber skies blaze overhead as I ride my way home on dirt-addled trails with one focus. Finally respite, finally family. No sooner have I arrived on my ranch then my wife's kidnapping makes itself apparent. I take refuge in my living room as shots barrage my house. Laser shots. My respite will have to wait, right now I'm caught up in a firefight with space pirates from the future looking to settle a score. Inextricably, my whole crew was just a stones throw away before the fighting broke out, including Angel Eyes, whom I later learned was also victim to this group of nefarious ruffians under pretense of spousal abduction. Ten minutes of intense fighting ensue, after which Angel Eyes and I find ourselves on one side of a mexican stand off with four combatants. The other side is occupied an old man with a laser cannon and Donkey Kong Sled, literally an anthropomorphic sled whose head was a superimposed image of Diddy Kong (admittedly, an oversight by my subconscious), holding a sawed-off. My accomplice and I exchange glances, betraying a furtive understanding of the situation. The old man makes the first move, we open fire. Or at least we would have had our firearms not been lacking ammunition. I sock the old man in the face. He takes it like a champ. My efforts exhausted, I concede defeat while staring into his laser cannon, into oblivion.
"I'm not here to fight," he says, "I just want to send a message for posterity, for my people to live without cruelty."
"And which people might that be?"
Suddenly his face changes, the old man is a shapeshifter. "The people who win."
"Mutantkind," I responded assuredly. The old man leaves without a trace, my consternations left at ease until I wheel around and reacquaint myself with Donkey Kong Sled's shotgun.
"Put that down friend," I plead.
"I'm afraid I can't do that Jake."
Donkey Kong Sled, why?"
"Because I have to. Because I've been doing this since I was a toboggan. Because its the only thing I know how to do."
After that, everything was black.
