Description
The Surfer travels forward in time to bypass the barrier and encounters The Overlord of another planet. The Overlord demands to know where the Surfer is from, so that he may "destroy your world - even as I have destroyed all the others!" The Surfer realizes that the Overlord is responsible for the demolition of Earth and Zenn-La, and he attacks the Overlord in vengeance. The two combatants square off, going back and forth with surges of their own fantastic powers, until finally the Overlord emerges victorious. The slave assigned to dispose of the Surfer's "corpse" revives the Surfer, and the two discuss the Overlord's origin, that he was born a freakish mutant due to his father's exposure to an atomic blast. The Surfer flies back in time, back to the atomic reactor that exploded, and protects it with a cosmically charged shield so that it will never explode in the manner that would create the Overlord. So it is that in the future timeline, the Overlord is never born! The Surfer returns back to Earth at the time in which he left.
