synopsis:
Within the Baxter Building, the Thing suffers from the flu. As he
resists Crystal and Johnny's efforts to try and feed him cough medicine,
he sneezes causing the room to heavily shake. Reed comes in and scolds
them for creating noise that might wake baby Franklin. He then tells
them that, as soon as the weather clears, he and Sue will be taking
Franklin to see his nanny Agatha Harkness. Meanwhile, deep at sea, the Sub-Mariner is aboard an Atlantean
vessel when they detect an earthquake and go to investigate it. Namor
flies to the surface and finds an island filled with dinosaurs as well
as the unconscious body of the mutant terrorist Magneto. Namor recovers
Magneto's body. Back in New York, the storm has cleared, leading to Johnny
playing a prank on the Thing and some rough housing. This is quickly
ended when the Thing spots a number of metal objects rising into the
sky. Unknown to all, this is caused by Magneto, who is secretly causing
trouble with his powers. He soon takes audience with the Sub-Mariner and
tries to convince him to go to war with the surface world, but Namor
does not budge on the situation. In the city, Reed uses a device to
track the source of the magnetic energies and traces them back to
Atlantis. As they decide what to do, they are suddenly attacked by
various devices within the Baxter Building under Magneto's control. Upset by this sudden attack, the Thing unthinkingly unleashes
some sonic wave missiles at the city of Atlantis in retaliation. Namor
saves those of his people that he can, and he is later informed by
Magneto that the attack came from the surface world. The Master of
Magnetism then convinces Namor to lead his people into war with the
surface after Namor later stops a concussion torpedo from striking his
kingdom as well.
As Reed scolds Ben for acting so rashly, they soon detect a fleet
of Atlantean ships heading towards the US coast just as the vibro-alarm
begins to go off, signaling a coming war with Atlantis.
