As he's traversing Texas on his quest for vengeance, Vegas runs into a Texas Ranger. His name is Harlan Stone, ... His nickname is Tombstone. He's the sort that you're going to pry his guns from his cold dead fingers. In broad western terms Tombstone is the sheriff and Vegas is the drifter.
More Quotes from Karl Kesel:
The Vegas arc is set firmly in the modern day Marvel Universe in and around the area of Austin, Texas. I won't apologize for it, it's a Western, ... Except it's cowboys and superheroes. I handed off the script to Jeff Parker writer of the 'Vampire by Night' back up story in 'Amazing Fantasy' for his feedback. His reaction was what I hope a lot of people's reactions are. He goes, 'I was reading this and it was like there was this corner of the Marvel Universe I just didn't know existed but it's always been there.'Karl Kesel

Things get out of hand as they often do when the Renegades are around. The scientific experiment explodes. Strange energies are released. Vegas's sister dies and he is left for dead.
