Meanwhile a US Navy sub mistakenly thinks it was Namor who attacked them rather than IT, until the creature crashes into them. Realising Namor is innocent, the soldiers leave the Sub-Mariner to deal with IT, whose radiation is quickly sapping Namor’s strength. He Who Strikes the Silver SurferContinuing from last issue, The Hulk demands Silver Surfer take him away from Earth so he can finally be in peace. Silver Surfer, unable to leave Earth due to a punishment from Galactus, refuses and the Hulk attacks him. Their confrontation alerts the police who attack Hulk with flame-throwers. Feeling sorry for the Jade Giant, Silver Surfer attempts to heal him and discovers Bruce Banner’s curse.
