Synopsis for "The Devils"

The jets that were sent into 1953 by Pravda return to the present at Moscow's Red Square after being missing for four days. The U.S. President's aides state that the disappearance of the jets is enough to convince them of what they are dealing with and strongly lay out a retaliatory strike against the dolls through three small tactical nuclear warheads. The President insists to see the sole pilot who came back.

Senator Joe introduces himself to Max, stating that things had been explained to him and that he was made to believe to think he is Senator Joseph McCarthy. Furthermore, Joe is African-American. Joe wants Max to join him in stopping the Russian dolls, but Max refuses and attacks him. Mike, Hinks, and Stella Blake are at Max's bar and witness the fight from outside. Max sees and recognizes Hinks before being blasted by Joe. As Max is wounded and confused due to what Hinks had programmed into him, he emits a strong yield of energy and beats Joe. Shocked by everything that is happening to him, Max flies away in distress.

After learning about Max from Blake, the President's only hope that having the other deactivated Russian dolls would stop their counterparts.

Somewhere, Vladimir Korovin and Roman Kelski finds one of the dolls, Revolution, a firestarter, in a facility. They are then joined by Stalingrad, a big and muscular man. However, Korovoin betrays Kelski and Revolution prepares to burn him.

The President learns that Korovin and the two Russian dolls are regrouping with the Spirit of Lenin and Pravda in southern Talibstan to continue fulfilling their purpose by destroying American imperialism. He consented in initiating a triple nuclear strike on the superhumans in Talibstan.
