Plot
The series takes place after the events of the Halo Trilogy. Earth has been taken by the Covenant, so while the UNSC fights them, humanity has began to colonize the Halo rings, starting with the city known as New Charity. However, because of communication troubles with the UNSC, crime has begun to run rampant through the city. With no effective police force, the citizens don protective Mjolnir Mark VI armor to protect themselves. Mark Freeman is a computer genius living out of a one man apartment, living on 1UP soda, and jawbreakers. He decides to seek a roomate, with interesting results.

Mark reveals that he built an upgraded suit (Blue Hayabusa) and that he has been eager to use it. He and Eric make a deal. Eric will let mark stay with him, if Mark uses the suit to fight crime as Halo-Man. He attacks some thugs, and the news reports on him.

2. Halo-Man vs. The Spoiler- Mark goes to a repair shop to buy repairs for his helmet, which was damaged when a thief threw a chair at his head. When he arrives, he finds the shop in ruins, and graffiti sprayed on the outside. A villian called the Spoiler emerges, and reveals himself to be pathetic. Mark changes into his Halo-Man armor, but because of the damage, the Spoiler manages to beat him, nearly knocking him unconsious before the Spoiler trips over a rock. The police arrest him, and Mark changes back to his civilian clothes, and helps the owner of the shop repair the damages. Impressed by his technical prowess, the owner hires Mark.

3. The Spoiler Returns- We see the Spoiler in jail, and he bemoans the capture by the police, because he wanted to join the Harvard University's Mean UnderGraduates (HUMBUG), the premier evil group in New Charity. However, an ambassador from HUMBUG visits him with a proposition. He will be sprung from jail, if he spray paints Halo-Man's Hayabusa armor red, making him look like the retired villian, Mad Ninja. The plan works, and Halo-Man is chased away by the police.

4. The Spoiler's Revenge- Halo-Man is now hated as Mad Ninja, but the villian known as Titan has started to masquerade as Halo-Man. Mark is ready to take off the armor, but Eric persuades him to take out the Spoiler and the doppleganger once and for all. Halo-Man attacks and easily defeats the Spoiler, and engages in an epic battle with Titan, who has emmence strength. Halo-Man nearly loses, but uses a Power Drain to take out the villian.

The Purple Goo arrives, and covers Halo-Man, turning his armor purple.
