Along uncharted lanes through the Sub Sea Namor swims. Rising suddenly to the surface, he gazes spellbound at New York City's skyline. Cautiously he swims about the harbor, investigating. Puzzled, he views the docks, and looks with wonder at a highly illuminated, solid looking building on the water's edge. As he slowly treads water, he suddenly feels himself being sucked down and forward, faster and faster toward the building.
With Superhuman strength, Namor fights the irresistible current. He is pulled rapidly into a great tube. With semi-conscious logic, he stretches his huge arms, bracing them against the wall of the tube. Straining. He changes position, and with a terrific shove. He's through. A geyser of water bursts into the powerhouse under the Submariner's gigantic push.
Panic spreads through the powerhouse. Valves are rapidly turned to stop the rush of water, and catapulted high into the girders, Namor looked down on the scene of excitement.
"Look! Who's that? What's he doing up there?"
Frightened by their discovery of him. He gets to his feet, but he trips on a live wire. The shock infuriates him. Maddened by this, thinking it one of the engineer's tricks to destroy him, he rips a girder from its rivets, and hurls it with a gigantic force to the startled crowd below him. Girder upon Girder. Namor hurls at the machinery and the engineers below him, wreaking terrible havoc. Faster and Faster his strength demolishes the plant.
Then abruptly he stops and dives through a window just as the roof caves in. Soaring above the city, he flies over central park and spots a body of water. Desiring to be in his natural element again, he drops with the speed of a bullet.
But the alarm is out. All over the city sirens are screaming, and on the lakeshore a patrolman sees Namor plunge into the water. He blows his whistle.
Namor disregards the warning, and draws fire from the policeman bullets whang out over the water and ricochet on the Surface. Namor dives below, but is curious about the little pellets that come so swiftly from shore. With amazing speed he reached into the air and stops a .38 caliber bullet!
Below surface again, he examines the little piece of lead, amused at the thought that such an infinitesimal "pebble" could hope to harm him!"
Then with fierce sudden anger, he seizes the rowboat containing a policeman and oarsman and capsizes it.
Like a flash he breaks the surface and rockets high in the air, headed for group of trees bordering fifth avenue. Soaring beyond the avenue, He comes to the east river, and drops unobtrusively into it. Coming to an aperture in the "Sea Wall", he hoists himself up to it. To find himself in a sewer outlet. Proceeding inward, he enters a labyrinth of sewage tunnels, and comes upon a pensive tramp.
"Howdy, Tarzan, wot brings ya here?"
"I fail to see where that's any business of yours."
"Aw, come now, champ. Don't git tough about it. Oo D' ye think ye are?"
Namor grabbed him by the throat
"Never mind that. Just be quiet, and do as I saw, Take off those clothes!"
"Sure...Sure, pal!"
Some twenty minutes later, arrayed in the unfortunate tramp's garments, Namor searches for an exist. He walks several blocks, and sees light coming from above. He climbs a narrow steel ladder and pushes upward a manhole cover. Emerging into the middle of the busy fifth avenue!
He speeds across the street. Realizing his need for more suitable clothing. He chooses a likely looking house in the "80's" and prepares to enter.
He knocks. A servant answers the door.
"Is your master in? I must see your master at once?"
"Wh-What?!"
The servant seemed to be an older more proper gentleman.
"B-But I say! You cahn't use this dooah! The Service entrance, suh, is for the like of you! I must ask you to leave immediately."
A woman came down the stairs. She had a cigarette in her left hand, which she held towards her dress.
"Let him come in, Pinkerton."
Then suddenly the cigarette touches her skirt…
A Fire begins.
"Pinkerton my dress!"
She began trying to put out the fire.
Namor, never having come into contact with fire in his undersea existence, doesn't realize its danger! He leaps and reaches the girl. His own clothes are enveloped in flames when he reaches for the fire. He had torn a dress and in his flailing he struck the woman and knocked her out.
"Call a physician"
He shouted to the servant.
Pinkerton telephones, Namor discards his burned clothing and wraps himself in a slick curtain. He thought to himself. He must not be found there when the servant returns, but he did not want to leave the girl. The Butler was coming. He would return later, the house was full of Riches.
Once he left he changed his minds. He wanted that girl.
Namor followed the ambulance that came and leaped towards it as it approached the front of the hospital.
He dove to the top of the ambulance, where he crouched as it raced through the traffic, siren screaming. He was seen briefly before leaping off onto a nearby building. Two men were now caring the women inside on a stretcher.
"Did you see something dark flash over us when we drove up here?
Namor, clothed in Curtain, burst into the Quietly everyone or I shall kill you all!
One of the men carrying the stretcher spoke up.
"Hey"
Namor flew forward and rammed him.
"I said quiet you fool!?
A nurse screamed the name Tom.
Namor lifted the unconscious girl. Namor, not realizing that the american girl cannot breathe underwater, speed with her through the air towards the waterfront, soaring through the sky. He quickly realized he had been seen from the people below.
"Look! A man flying in the sky!"
"He's carrying something!"
"He's heading south"
The police followed the Sub Mariner's sky trail to New York's "Battery".
Namor touched down on a lonely dock. His colossal strength absorbing the shock of his removed the curtain. He heard the police coming. A car came charging towards him.
"It's that nut that wrecked the power plant sarge!"
"Let Him have it! But don't hit the girl!"
Three officers fired. Namor stood there and took the shots with no effect. Their bullets merely mashing against the Submariner's alligator-tough flest. The cordon of police falls back astounded.
With a surge of maniacal Fury, Namor Straight-Arms one officer, causing him to crumble to the ground dead, and makes for the nearest car.
As if it were a toy, he picks it up and hurls it at the law officers, crushing them to death.
Once again Namor seizes the unconscious girl...but two officers arise from the wreckage of the car, two others lie dead. Namor leaps into the dock. The cops, still wounded, follow courageously, leaping into the water after him. Namor sees this and releases the girl to turn and meet his assailants head on. He wrestles with the nearest. The second cop dives for the drowning girl. Namor has dispatched his opponent, who flows lifeless in the water, now he looks back and sees the girl missing. She is on her way to safety, in the arms of an almost exhausted policeman. On the surface is another officer.
"Thank heaven you got here, lieutenant! I'm afraid we've lost Foley, but we can still save the girl!"
"It's positively uncanny about that lunatic, what is he anyway? He lives in the water like a fish, flies like a bid and has the strength of a hundred elephants"
And so, only a few bubbles on the water's surface show where the Sub Mariner was last seen- where will he turn up next? And will he continue his evil deeds?
