Namor succeeds and unleashes his anger on the former Galactus herald! The Surfer, confused, flies away and mentions a valley. Doctor Strange believes such a place is in the Himalayas. The duet asks the Hulk to come with them.
They find a group of suspicious ape men and the Silver Surfer shows up defending them. Namor reveals his anger to the Surfer. But he doesn’t remember having been with Necrodamus. Thus, the ape men turn into their real selves: Calizuma and his warrior wizards. The Nameless One and Necrodamus had been controlling the Surfer’s mind through the ape men. The Defenders attack the villains. Calizuma is the hardest to conquer, but he falls at last.
