Hit-Monkey - Akiko

Akiko (Olivia Munn) finally catches up to Hit-Monkey in her self-titled episode but is unable to get her revenge. Despite being warned about the dangers of letting an enemy live, Monkey can’t bring himself to kill her leading to her eventual escape and new partnership with Lady Bullseye (Reiko Aylesworth). Looks like all killers are getting ghost mentors these days. Also of note, the episode fills in some origin stories for members of the Collective and Iris (Cristin Milioti) begins a new career cleaning up crime scenes.

The battle for Springfield begins as the mutated solders from Cobra Island are dropped in the Midwest to fight the forces of Cobra Commander who are honored and inspired by their leader armoring up and taking the field of battle with them (but not really, of course, as our cowardly Commander instead has sent a proxy in his place).
