Looking old and feeling weak, Tyrannus wants to drink again from the Enchanted Well to recover his youth. But the magic waters are under the custody of the Mole Man.
Tyrannus manages to trick the Hulk to aid him, offering him a feast. Instead of attacking the Mole Man, Hulk decides to rest. So Tyrannus pressures the Hulk by kidnapping Betty Ross, Rick Jones, and Glenn Talbot. Still the Hulk doesn't care!
Nonetheless, the Mole Man attacks Tyrannus, and Hulk goes on his aid.
The Octo-Sapien, a giant robot, fights the Hulk but it explodes when it falls along with the Hulk into the well of enchanted waters. Bruce Banner emerges from it, unharmed.

Synopsis: Prince
Namor the Sub-Mariner faces the Behemoth, a giant monster created by Atlantean
scientists to rise from its hibernation to protect the kingdom in its time of
greatest need. Namor spars with the giant and quickly becomes aware that it is
smarter than it should be, out-thinking him at many points and he has no idea
why….
We do, however,
as Warlord Krang has forced the Puppet Master to create a Behemoth figurine out
of his radioactive clay so the Warlord can control the monster. Krang soon
tires of PM’s whining and orders him to get out….
The monster
pauses, as Krang is talking to Puppet Master, giving him a brief respite. Lady Dorma
takes off in the mono-scout craft to summon Atlantean troops to come to
their monarch’s aid. Namor leads the Behemoth to the gates of Atlantis where Namor
uproots the iron pikes and hurls them at his foe, hoping to confuse and
imprison it. But the monster, as controlled by Krang, is too smart and breaks
through the improvised prison before it becomes too strong. Namor summons
electric eels to attack the Behemoth; the electricity does not harm Behemoth
but the feedback destroys the clay figurine in Krang’s hands, rendering it
useless. And with the Puppet Master gone, Krang now improvises a new scheme….
As the upheaval
of the battle amazes seismographers worldwide, Namor realizes the monster is now
mindless once more. He spins a massive whirlpool around the Behemoth, drawing
it to the Quagmire of Doom where it is drawn into the Earth, never to return….
Meanwhile,
Krang cruises back to the city where he kidnaps Dorma and tells her that Namor
cannot win against the Behemoth under his control so he will give up that
control if Dorma agrees to marry him. Dorma, unaware that Namor has already
defeated the Behemoth, agrees in order to save her beloved’s life. She contacts
Lord Vashti with news of the nuptials and signs off. When Namor returns to the
palace, Vashti breaks the news to him….
