Synopsis

By Julio M2
Rating:

This tells what happened before the Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner met at the George Washington bridge (from the previous story, “The Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner Meet“).

Torch, now a police officer, follows his chief's command to bring Namor in. He finds the Sub-Mariner’s path of destruction and helps amend things. Officer Betty Dean, Namor’s only friend, has a word with Torch. She says that Namor is not as bad as he seems. But the “water man” lunatic has crashed the Empire State’s mooring mast on the ground, trapping innocents. Torch helps free them. He also captures the zoo animals liberated by Namor. And fights a tough gorilla, too.

Finally, he faces Namor on the bridge, retelling his encounter .

Namor knows Torch won’t be easy to defeat.
