When the Lord of the
Living Lightning tries to convince him otherwise, Hulk sides with Betty and clobbers his former ally.

Synopsis
As Prince Namor, the Sub-Mariner, watches, the Atlantean fleet heads for the surface world to wage war. Last comes the one modified to carry the Hurricane Inducer, their dreaded but untested superweapon. Namor pursues it….
The US Navy submarine detects the fleet pursuing it so the commander orders them through a narrow underwater chasm. The pursuing Atlanteans balk at such a maneuver but Warlord Seth orders his flagship and followers to pursue and they get safely through the chasm. By this time, Namor has reached the last ship and breaks in via a hatch in order to stop the Hurricane Inducer which threatens Atlantis as well as their enemies. Two guards come to investigate the broken hatch and Namor waylays and subdues them. He then sees that the big weapon has been activated and once begun, the device cannot be stopped. As the cycle builds, Namor tries to destroy the machine but he is caught by more guards, to whom this only confirms reports of Namor’s treachery. He is shot with a stun gun but his actions have not halted the machine’s activity. As the crew evacuates the ship, Namor seizes the controls to sail the craft far from the rest of the fleet. Observing its progress from the flagship, Warlord Seth realizes that Namor must be steering it. As the ship explodes, Namor is thrown clear….
Seth wonders at Namor’s treachery in sabotaging the Hurricane Inducer and his heroism in sailing the ship away from the others….
The US Navy sub sees the Atlantean armada retreating and the commander wonders what was going on….
Namor decides that he can only redeem himself by attacking the surface dwellers….
