The Angry Archer's latest scheme was interrupted by the arrival of the Wraith. He had the situation under control, when suddenly an Autobot showed up, and not only stole his thunder, but revealed the secret of his powers: he was projecting holograms from a truck the entire time. The Wraith wasn't about to be shaken however, and attempted to capture the mutant, Colossus Rhodes, who promptly tipped him out of his truck and prepared to squish him! Not only did he have to endure being saved by the Autobot, but the press ignored him completely! The Wraith had finally had enough, and tried to disgrace the Autobots using his holograms. Sadly, his plan failed, and he was carted off to an insane asylum. The Arrival issue 2
