Description
The traitorous priest Kormok decries that Namor must perform the the Ritual of Renewal and dip the sacred trident of Neptune in the flames that spawned it. Of course, it's a trap. Kormok has made a deal with an alien race that seeks to conquer the Earth and needs a human specimen. The Stalker attacks Namor and Namor proves to be too much for the Stalker. Unfortunately, the Stalker activates a funnel beam that sucks Namor out into space.
