The show's namesake Twisted Metal Tournament was the focal point of Season 2 and was hosted by a mysterious figure known as Calypso, portrayed by Anthony Carrigan. Also known by the nickname Mr. Sparks, Calypso is a supernatural being with the ability to grant any wish the winner desires. Despite his appearance as a well-dressed man, Calypso is not a benevolent host, as his desires often lead to dire consequences and can become downright nightmares.
After the end of Twisted metalIn the first season, show protagonists John Doe (Anthony Mackie) and Shantae (Stephanie Beatriz) participate in a Twisted Metal competition. Other tournament participants include Sweet Tooth (voiced by Will Arnett, body acting by Samoa Joe), Axel (Michael James Shaw), Dollface (Tiana Okoye), and Mr. Grimm (Richard de Klerk). Throughout the tournament arc, flashbacks revealed some of the tournament participants' first encounters with the mysterious Calypso, who appeared to them in various guises and situations.

The insidious mastermind of the Twisted Metal Tournament publicly accuses John and Quiet of mass murder after Calypso blows up the spectator stands during the tournament's finale, which sees Stu declared the winner. Although Calypso accepts Stu's wishes in her own twist, the outcome of the tournament later sets off a factional war between Insiders and Outsiders, vowing to hunt down John and his allies. John then vows revenge on the charismatic Calypso, though time will tell how the conflict plays out.
Additional post-credits scenes reveal that Sweet Tooth, kicked out of the tournament by Dollface (in Minion guise), is dragged by taxi to New York, ruled by his father Charlie Kane.
