Namor brings Krang and Dorma back to Atlantis to face judgment. To settle the question of leadership once and for all, Namor decides to battle Krang in front of his assembled subjects. So his extraordinary powers do not give him an unfair advantage, Namor battles unarmed while Krang is permitted to use any weapons that he chooses. Even armed to the teeth, Krang is unable to defeat the avenging son. Namor imprisons Krang in the deepest depths of the ocean while Dorma is restored to his favor.
The Hulk battles the Leader's Hulk-Killer Humanoid as Ross and his cronies learn that they sent the deadly android after the jade giant for all the wrong reasons. Boomerang gets a new costume.
