Synopsis:
Sub-Zero is taking a break at Mt. Reed from crime fighting and spots a hiker falling from a mountain. Upon investigation, he notes that the hiker's rope had been doctored to break and suspects a man named Ragin. After a tussel, Sub-Zero is knocked out, then sets out after Ragin. While doing so, Sub-Zero fractures his leg but manages to inscribe a message on stone that he hopes will be picked up, read, and result in a posse finding him and Ragin. Ragin, loaded with dynamite, falls to his death, knocking Sub-Zero and the posse off a mountain, but are saved by a mysterious wind (The Twister).

Synopsis:
According to Greek mythology, Odysseus visited Aeolia, seeking out Aeolus to provide favorable winds for his ship. His wish was granted, but Aeolus also gave Odysseus a sealed bag of unfavorable winds and was told not to open it....but his crew did, and the winds blew his ship back to Aeolia. Aeolus was furious and demanded that Odysseus tracked down and capture the bad winds or reap the consequences...but he never did. The bad winds one day years later hit a red school house in Windy Gap and a student, Bob Sanders, was taken up in it and given strange powers, which he used as The Twister.
