Unspoken Issues - Black September 30th Anniversary Event - Part 3 - UltraForce #9

As Black September continues, UltraForce confronts their most overwhelming threat yet— radiant beings of searing energy whose arrival unravels the very fabric of heroism and humanity. UltraForce #9, originally released on July 13, 1995, plunges our heroes into chaos, self-doubt, and desperate survival as Prime becomes the center of a cosmic transformation, and the team faces a tidal wave of destruction across Miami. As the radiant energy spreads, turning civilians into living bombs and decimating the cityscape, the team fractures under pressure. Siren, Topaz, Prototype, and Black Knight each struggle with guilt, moral dilemmas, and internal doubts. But it's Ghoul, the undead anti-hero, who steps forward as the unexpected savior. Immune to the energy's life-draining effects, Ghoul risks everything to challenge the radiant beings on their own terms—ushering in both dark humor and an eerie kind of heroism. The result is a philosophical clash over power, purpose, and the price of containment.Meanwhile, a parallel emotional story unfolds far away. In Chicago, Sersi grapples with memory, pain, and the pull of an ancient cosmic force. Her connection to Black Knight adds depth and tragedy to an already emotionally charged issue. As destiny closes in, her transformation may hold the key to what’s coming next.
