Synopsis
With Spider-Man and Valkyrie missing
after their battle with the Meteor Man, a troubled Dr. Strange looks out
for allies to help him look for them. Understanding that the Human
Torch is one of Spider-Man’s closest friends, Dr. Strange seeks out the
Torch and enlists him in helping find Valkyrie and Spider-Man. While the
Human Torch goes to search the Meteor Man’s last known address, Dr.
Strange goes to the prison where he was held to learn more.
When the Torch arrives at Norton Fester’s former apartment, he
finds himself confronted by Jeremiah and his followers the Innocents of
God. Jeremiah, having waited for someone to show up looking for
Valkyrie, and finding the Torch suitable for his purposes, knocks out
the Torch with his mystical eye bolts. The Torch wakes up to find that
Valkyrie is being used for a mystical ceremony that Jeremiah is
conducting. Freeing himself and trying to stop it, the Torch is once
more knocked out by a mystical bolt from Jeremiah.
Meanwhile, Dr. Strange’s trip to the prison turns out to be a
dead end when the warden won’t let Strange see the Meteor Man. Leaving,
Strange picks up the presence of evil magic near the city, and checks it
out in his astral form. Strange is then pulled into another dimension
where he finds Valkryie’s soul being tormented by demons. Strange fights
the demons off before returning to his human body.
Meanwhile, the Torch revives and frees himself, and uses his
flame powers in order to prevent Jeremiah from using his followers in a
sacrifice. During the battle Dr. Strange arrives, and with his superior
mystical skill, easily over-powers Jeremiah and banishes him to the
realm of the demons he really worshiped.

“Death Is the Symbionic Man!” / LA MORTE E’ L’ UOMO SIMBIONICO
|
|---|
Featured Characters:
Villains:
- Symbionic Man
- Simon Ryker
Locations:
- Rapa Nui / Isola di Pasqua / Easter Island
- Pacific Ocean near Easter Island
Synopsis
The Symbionic Man was still
“sleeping”. Ryker freed the Symbionic Man in the Sea and it started to
gather nourishment from the Ocean’s life thanks to its symbionic powers.
It awoke
and became stronger. It was still under Riker’s computers control. Its
organism was so merged with the sea life that its vital signs was nearly
undistinguishable from the Ryker’s computers. The cyborg felt a void
that needed to be
filled,
so it started to pursue Namor the Sub-Mariner, who was in waters.
The Symbionic Man reached the Sub-Mariner and
ambushed
him. Its tentacles started to drain Sub-Mariner’s life and strength. The
transfer reached a point that Namor was so linked to the Symbionic Man
that he started to understand the needs of his enemy and those needs started to
became “his” needs, and vice-versa. But Namor freed himself from the Symbionic Man’s grasp and
threw it away to crash in an ancient sunken flotsam.
There the Symbionic Man found a giant octopus, which it symbiotically linked to
and renewed its attack on Namor, speaking with the voice of the Atlantean. This
time the Symbionic Man used the octopus tentacles to drain Sub-Mariner’s life,
but when Namor hit the giant octopus and freed himself again, it also broke the link
between the Symbionic Man and the beast.
Enraged, Namor threw the giant beast far away; it
accidentally crashed on the Ryker’s Mother-Ship, seriously damaging it
and
sending it falling into the Ocean.
The Symbionic Man, free from the control of the computers, declared that
he
never wanted to harm Namor. It understood the significance of life, so
returned to Namor the part of life that he stole, and died (if he actually ever lived).
