Summary
Don Gambino, AKA The Don. As the head of The Gambino Crime Syndicate, he is one of the most feared ganglords in Empire City's Westside, controlling a small army of transhuman mercenaries. Immensely wealthy due to his mob connections, he has a special hatred for the City's "costumed do-gooders," particularly The Red Garter and The Quaids.

Backstory
A new "performance enhancing" drug has hit the streets, and the Gambino Syndicate is out to eradicate the competition. As the body count piles up, The Red Garter begins an investigation, systematically tracking down the source of the stimulant.

Meanwhile, Don Gambino's had up to here with interfering P.I.s encroaching on his turf. Calling on his top hit man to settle the score, Gambino sends Johnny Smiles to deal with "that meddling broad" once and for all. Under normal circumstances, The Garter could deal with any low-life street goon - by Johnny Smiles is no petty hoodlum. Hopped up on ADR-8 (a variant of the original 'super-soldier' serum) he's probably the most vicious mob enforcer in Empire City...and worse still, he has the element of surprise!
