Soldiers attack the cave lab, destroying Banner’s machines. Cornered, Hulk (still with Banner’s intellect) accepts the Leader‘s offer to help him escape.
Secretly, Hulk expects to find gamma machines in the Leader’s lab he could use to prevent his transformation, and avoid death (since the bullet is still in his head).
Somehow, the Leader tele transports the Hulk to a secret lair in Rome and knocks him out with a powerful sleeping gas. When Hulk awakes, he battles a group of Humanoids.
Meanwhile, Thunderbolt Ross discovers the Hulk cave had machines built by Banner, and locks Rick Jones for questioning.

Synopsis
Searching for King Neptune’s enchanted trident, Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner
battles the giant Seaweed Man. Namor uses a judo move to free himself from his
enemy’s grip, then swims around him at high speed, creating a whirlpool that
staggers him. In the spot where the Seaweed Man was standing is an iron door
with Neptune’s mark on it. Namor pulls it open and sees a fish with a diamond
in its mouth, speaking in the voice of King Neptune. Namor then heads for the
Diamonds of Doom….
In Atlantis,
Lady Dorma agonizes over her beloved Namor; Warlord Krang, miffed that Namor
has succeeded twice, visits Dorma to ask whether she will be his queen. She
refuses, denouncing him, so he gasses her and traps her in a thin diaphanous
plasti-cage. She is then put out on the street for display with a guard
proclaiming she is to be banished to the subterranean world of the Faceless
Ones. So she is shipped out to the undersea mountain where mad scientist Zantor
lowers her in the Dome of Doom to the bottom of the pit. There the dome breaks
open and she sees the Faceless Ones approaching….
Namor learns
from some fish that Lady Dorma is in danger. After some pondering, he decides
that his quest is more important. An array of brightly colored lights leads
Namor to the Diamonds of Doom. But standing close to them begins to sap Subby
of his vitality and he finds himself growing weaker by the second….
