Synopsis: Returning
to the bank he robbed, Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner is surrounded by soldiers
summoned by the guard. Namor is under the hypnotic control of the Puppet Master
who orders him to fight to the death. Instead, Namor rips a streetlamp out of
the sidewalk and swings it around to keep the soldiers at bay. He flies from
rooftop to rooftop, landing in front of an electric sign, which clearly
outlines him, making him an easy target for Army sharpshooters. Namor is hit in
the shoulder and, enraged, he topples the sign onto the soldiers, who retreat
to safety. Namor, desperately in need of water, heads to the George Washington
Bridge and dives into the river….
In Atlantis,
Lady Dorma and Lord Vashti are informed that the Behemoth, created to protect
the kingdom in its time of direst need, has risen from its underground
sanctuary and is destroying the city. Realizing Namor must return, Dorma takes
a mono-scout craft in search of the king. The craft has a tracking device so
that she easily locates him on the shore of the Hudson River. Namor tells her
that he feels something clouding his mind; he concentrates his mental strength
and breaks Puppet Master’s control, causing his clay image to shatter in the
villain’s hand….
The exiled
Warlord Krang watches on his Visi-Viewer and formulates a plan, using the
Puppet Master to create an image of the Behemoth, giving the Warlord control of
the monster. Krang hops a ship to New York and easily finds the Puppet Master,
explaining his plan….
And Prince
Namor faces the marauding Behemoth, ordering Dorma to flee to safety….
