Synopsis
The Thing, Medusa, and the Human Torch enter Reed’s laboratory and
find him despondent. A summons in his hand indicates that Sue has
started divorce proceedings against him. Reed says that Sue is within
her rights, and that if this is what she wants, then he will not stand
in her way. Ben becomes angry, because it seems to him that no one wants
to do anything about this, but when he flies from the Baxter Building
on the Airjet-Cycle, the Torch goes with him. As Ben and Johnny head for
Pennsylvania, Johnny says that he does not think Sue is right to file
for divorce, though she seems to have a good reason. Then he flames on
and flies ahead, leaving Ben to his thoughts. Many miles pass by
unnoticed beneath the Airjet-Cycle, but suddenly, as Ben soars over a
Pennsylvania lake, Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, flies out of the water
and attacks. Ben plummets onto a rock and his vehicle is destroyed. He
is totally baffled when Namor says that although he has no quarrel with
him, he must strike because honor demands it. Namor tells Ben to
surrender, explaining that he does not wish to harm him unless he
persists in his chosen course of action. When Ben tries to defend
himself, Namor carries him underwater. Ben realizes that he will have a
difficult fight, because the water increases Namor’s strength, but
before he can do anything a sudden blow knocks him unconscious. As Namor
hauls Ben onto the shore, the Human Torch attacks him with fireballs.
He builds a wall of flame to keep Namor away from the water, but Namor
traps Johnny with an asbestos net. Johnny realizes that Namor had been
expecting them and has for some reason betrayed them. Namor says that
his reason is valid, but when Johnny replies that there is no valid
reason for betrayal, Namor knocks Johnny, still enmeshed in the net,
into the lake. Then the Thing revives and grabs Namor by the ankle,
barraging him with punches. A powerful blow hurls Namor through the air.
As Ben helps Johnny out of the water, Namor returns and warns them to
make no attempt to find Sue Richards or her child. From this moment,
says Namor, Sue and Franklin are under his protection, and Sue belongs
to him. Ben and Johnny stand dumbfounded as Namor flies away. Soon Ben
and Johnny arrive at the Landers farm, where they learn that the
Sub-Mariner has indeed kidnapped Sue. Although Namor abducted only Sue,
Franklin is gone as well, and the Landerses assume that the Sub-Mariner
took him as well. Carol says that Sue would not listen to them when they
advised against suing for divorce, and now she blames herself and her
husband for what has happened. Three hours and 25 minutes later, Ben and
Johnny arrive at the Baxter Building, having been given a ride by a
friendly New Jersey state trooper. Ben elects to tell Reed the
distressing news, and he walks into the lab where Reed is working.
Medusa whispers to Ben that it took her four hours to get Reed’s mind
off Sue, but Ben replies that what he has to say cannot wait. The shock
of what happened to Sue galvanizes Reed into action. In less than five
hours, he devises a plan to determine the Sub-Mariner’s whereabouts.
Using a mento-scan device, Reed monitors the radiation band that
surrounds the Earth, tuning in to the special frequency emitted by
Namor’s costume. Reed reminds Ben that it was he who designed Namor’s
protective uniform, and he knows how to trace it. So, in just a few
minutes, Reed locates Namor in the South Atlantic Ocean, six hundred
miles off the African coast, and he tells his teammates that he shall be
there tomorrow morning, with or without them. At 1:55 a.m., the
Fantasticar, carrying Reed, Medusa, Ben, and Johnny, heads out across
the ocean, and by 11:41 a.m. they arrive at their destination. Reed
tells his teammates to take their oxy-pills, which will provide oxygen
to their blood-stream underwater for an hour. In addition, Johnny wears a
heat-frame that will allow him to flame on beneath the surface. Then
the Fantasticar dives, and the modules with Ben and Johnny detach.
Reed’s calculations were absolutely accurate, and within seconds, Ben
and Johnny find the Sub-Mariner, ensconced in a fortress-like underwater
building waiting for them, is puzzled that none of Namor’s subjects is
in evidence, because he does not know that many of them were felled
(though not killed) by the nerve gas that made it necessary for Namor to
wear Reed’s life-support costume. Johnny leaps from his segment of the
Fantasticar and crashes it into the transparent dome housing Namor.
Namor easily evades the missile and turns to face him as he flames on.
But then Ben attacks from another direction, and Namor stuns him with a
powerful punch. Reed can see that Ben is disoriented and that Johnny is
having difficulty managing his flame underwater, so he signals them to
back off and attacks Namor himself. Reed slams Namor through the wall of
his fortress, but Namor remains unhurt and taunts Reed about Sue. Namor
nearly drives Reed crazy when he reminds him about Franklin. Meanwhile,
as Reed and Namor battle, the Thing enters the fortress, and he soon
finds some rooms filled with air, not water. Curious, he starts to look
around, but then a green-scaled fist shatters through the wall next to
him, and one of Namor’s android guards emerges. Ben puts it out of
commission with a single punch, and then he enters an airlock. He finds
Sue on the other side watching the battle between Reed and Namor with
tear-filled eyes. Ben offers to take her away, but she tells him to stop
the battle, because they have all made a terrible mistake. Johnny can
see that he, Medusa, and Reed cannot mount a coordinated attack against
Namor, because they are hampered by the water and cannot communicate.
Thus it is not long before Reed lies stunned on the ocean floor. Namor
knocks Johnny nearly unconscious, but before he can finish off his three
antagonists, Ben and Sue, wearing an oxygen helmet, emerge. Sue tells
Reed and the others that Namor did not kidnap her. He asked her to go
with him, and she did. Then she declares that she is in love with the
Sub-Mariner and that she will stay with him forever.
