 Several months after the events of " Anarky : Tomorrow Belongs to Us " , Lonnie Machin has been released from juvenile detention on parole , and uses the internet to create a company , " Anarco " . Through Anarco , Machin sells anarchist literature online , secretly acquiring millions of dollars . He channels this wealth through a proxy organization , " The Anarkist Foundation " , to donate the funds to political groups he supports , including gun protesters , eco @-@ warriors , and clean energy lobbies . Meanwhile , he successfully hides this activity from his parents , Mike and Roxanne Machin , who do not approve of his behavior , believing themselves to have failed to raise their son properly . Their relationship with him becomes strained , as they attempt to rehabilitate him into normality , while he wishes they would be proud of his vigilante activism . Continuing his secret philanthropy , he supports Malochia , a self @-@ proclaimed " prophet of doom " who spreads a message that current social conditions are intolerable . Anarky comes to suspect that this " prophet " has an ulterior motive , and hires private detective , Joe Potato , to investigate his actions . Meanwhile , Batman and Robin have also placed Malochia under their watch , and discover his connections to <unk> Machin . Anarky , Joe Potato , and Batman confront Malochia , but are each captured and tied to a blimp . The blimp is loaded with high explosives and set to detonate near the center of the city . Malochia hopes this act will set into effect his own delusional predictions of calamity . Anarky and Joe Potato revive and steer the blimp towards the water front , still set to explode . Anarky releases both Potato and Batman into the water , but is tangled in ropes and presumably caught in the explosion . During the story , Lonnie 's parents find a letter he wrote in the event of his death . The letter acts as a literary device to explain his origin as Anarky and the personal reasons behind his decision to become a vigilante . Lonnie Machin 's father and mother , Mike and Roxanne raise their son to be a happy child , and encourage his intelligence and thirst for knowledge with trips to bookstores . Through his research , Lonnie eventually grows to become the political radical , Anarky .
