Story Synopsis The story, written by Tom DeFalco with art by Paul Ryan, focuses on the long-standing rivalry between Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards) and Namor the Sub-Mariner for the affections of the Invisible Woman (Sue Storm). The main conflict is an intense physical and emotional battle between Reed and Namor while Sue is incapacitated in the medical bay after straining her powers in the previous issue. Plot Points: Namor insists on seeing Sue despite Reed's warnings, leading to a fight that spills outside Four Freedoms Plaza. The battle is fueled by Reed's jealousy and Namor's persistent desire for Sue. Sue interrupts the fight and reaffirms her love for Reed, which enrages Namor further. Reed ultimately defeats Namor. It is later revealed that Namor was faking the extent of his rage and coordinated the fight with the Inhuman Lyja in an attempt to shake Reed's feelings for Sue and ensure Namor stayed in her mind.
