Description
Namor is joined by Alpha Flight in his search or the now free Marrina, during which Roger Bochs suffers the bends when he momentarily leaves his Box armor. The Alphans are joined by their ally Madison Jeffries in a mini submarine and they catch up to Namor, who had been slowed down by Northstar when he streaked ahead of them. Northstar has issues of his own, wondering why his sister Aurora is getting together with Roger Bochs. Marrina is soon covered in growths, which turn out to be eggs holding her babies. Forced with the possibility that Marrina may give birth to hundreds of deadly Plodex, Vindicator is adamant that they must kill Marrina so they babies are not born, for even though Namor has proclaimed that he will raise the babies with Marrina, no one can guarantee that their natural instincts will not take over. A more pressing concern arises when Marrina’s Plodex mate appears, Marrina being strangely drawn to him. Namor argues with Vindicator some more about what she wants to do, when everyone sees Marrina resist her alien mate, and the growths on her body subside. She has rejected her programming, and denounces her mate. Vindicator changes her mind about killing Marrina now that she has proven she is more human than alien and everyone participates in the killing of Marrina’s hideous mate. Marrina has fully regained her sanity and is reunited officially with Namor, who bids everyone come back to his long ago hidden villa, where he wants to set up his new kingdom. Arriving at the villa, the heroes are greeted by Byrrah and those who believe in Namor and took refuge from the tyrant Attuma. They become Namor’s subjects after agreeing to Marrina being their queen and Namor names their new kingdom Deluvia, where he and Marrina are married.
