Controlled by the Stranger, Hulk rampages through populations. When he arrives at Thunderbolt Ross base, he transforms into Bruce Banner and breaks free from the alien’s control.
Horrified by the damage he did as the Hulk, Banner kills himself with a gamma rays overdose! But before he can do it, soldiers spot him and take him prisoner.
A spy called Emil Blonsky witnessed it all and uses the gamma equipment onto himself. The radiation turns him into a powerful green monster like the Hulk, the one to be named Abomination.
When Banner sees the new gamma-spawned being, he turns into the Hulk and fights him. But the Abomination proves to be stronger than the Hulk, and defeats him!
Finally, the Abomination kidnaps Betty Ross and leaps away.

Morrie Kuramoto.
Synopsis: Byrrah, Namor’s cousin, regards himself as entitled to the throne of Atlantis
by his pure blood, whereas Namor is only a half-breed. Many years ago, he would
try to best Namor in single combat for the throne but always lost because of
Namor’s greater strength. But now Byrrah has a better scheme, positioning
himself as the pacifist protector of the people. At a meeting of the Royal
Council, Byrrah addresses those present, calling Namor a war-monger and
demanding a peaceful ruler; his comments are met with great support and his
name is put forward for the election….
When word comes
to Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, of Byrrah’s remarks, he goes on television to
promote himself as the sole defender of the people, calling pacifists cowards.
Byrrah then challenges Namor to single combat; Lady Dorma and Lord Vashti plead
with Namor not to fight, suggesting trickery on Byrrah’s part, but Namor must
meet the challenge….
Namor and
Byrrah meet in the arena but Byrrah has taken advantage of a loophole in the
rules to hide weapons around the arena, attacking Namor with explosives and a
battle lance. Namor responds by employing an eel to disarm his foe. But Byrrah
has coated a sawfish with a chemical that, when the fish scrapes Namor, the
hero grows ever weaker, and Byrrah is able to overpower him to win the contest.
Byrrah is hailed as victor and considered a shoo-in for the next day’s
election. Namor mopes and despairs over his kingdom….
