Editing Colin Wallis (section)

===Post-[[Battle against Leviathan|Leviathan]]===
Immediately after when Scion beat Leviathan back. Armsmaster finds Skitter, who had stumbled upon Shadow Stalker's civilian identity, and restrains her. Dragging her over to Legend and Miss Militia he reminds them that Skitter is an adept liar who was able to fool both his instincts and hardware. However, his angry belligerence isn't enough to prevent Tattletale from outing his actions during the battle against Leviathan - namely ensuring that villains were placed in the Endbringer's path which would be a violation of the truce. Armsmaster lunges for Tattletale, but Legend sends him sprawling with a laser blast and Miss Militia points her weapon at him.

Tattletale tells Legend and Miss Militia that Armsmaster essentially deliberately put villains such as [[Kaiser]] in harm's way, letting them die all to arrange his duel. Without any humility, Armsmaster states that he did everything he did for the greater good and that it was the most effective way of ensuring a bright future for Brockton Bay. In response to his immediate arrest, Armsmaster outs Skitter as a mole in the Undersiders, claiming that she is the one they should be mocking and spitting on as she had been planning to betray her teammates for her own gain.<ref>[[Extermination 8.8]]</ref>

Afterward Colin was kept under off-the-record<ref>[[Interlude 13]]</ref> house arrest on the second-highest floor of the [[Protectorate ENE Headquarters]] with regular check-ups from [[Dragon]]. It was not kind to him - Colin was tired and had lost weight - although he was still able to work on many of his projects and had access to some of his equipment, such as his [[Nano-thorn|nano-disintegration blade]]. He made no attempts to escape, despite the fact that he would be able to. When Dragon asked him about recent events, he expressed regret and acknowledged the fact that he broke the Endbringer truce during Leviathan's attack.<ref>[[Interlude 10.5]]</ref>

Later he was visited by a member of the [[Slaughterhouse Nine]] - [[Mannequin]]. Mannequin was there to recruit Colin for the Slaughterhouse Nine, insinuating that he was no different from anyone in their villain group. This enraged Colin who, despite warnings and pleading from Dragon, deliberately provoked Mannequin by calling him out on his actions, on how he went from being Alan Gramme to Mannequin as a result of the death of his family. Mannequin promptly stabbed Colin in the shoulder, several times in his abdomen, and then slashed him across the face, blinding and disfiguring him. Despite his disintegration knife, Colin lacked the physical strength to overpower his opponent. As Colin fell into unconsciousness, Mannequin escaped.

Some time later, Colin woke up in the PHQ under Dragon's care, who informed him that he had nine heart failures on the operating table, and he found out that some of the damage he incurred from Mannequin had been repaired with prosthetics, particularly his face and eye. Dragon sternly admonished him, calling his display with Mannequin the "stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen" but then, after a brief moment of awkward conversation, she revealed to him her nature as an A.I.<ref>[[Interlude 11d]]</ref>

Miss Militia later disclosed to the villains at the truce that Mannequin had gone after Armsmaster and left him hospitalized.<ref>[[Plague 12.2]]</ref> Days later [[Miss Militia]] revealed to [[Skitter]] that Armsmaster escaped from his hospital bed.<ref>[[Snare 13.7]]</ref>
