Payback recounts her full origin, how after her father Max's death she discovered he'd been bound to a variant symbiote which could exist within electromagnetic radiation.

Afterward, Mavis recruited her father's lover Talyn to join her team, but after recalling all of this Payback is caught in an explosion at her apartment.
