Before his execution, an experimental weapon detonates in Ascension City, unleashing an earthquake along with a radioactive shockwave that leaves the city destroyed and wiping out its populace, with the threat of an invasion from a terrorist force. Spencer is now freed to redeem his name along with the T.A.S.C.'s and is reunited with his bionic arm which they had taken away. Super Joe, a supporting character from the original NES version, also appears in the sequel. He is voiced by Steven Blum. The character is now identified as Joseph Gibson, the Player 1 character from the arcade game Mercs. In the new Bionic Commando, Gibson is the former lead director of the T.A.S.C., who assists Spencer to clear his name and in turn help bionics become legal again.
