Ben Grimm is (literally) flying down West 84th street. He crash-lands on a couple of parked cars and warns Johnny to watch out for “his” left hook. In Midtown, Johnny and Namor are duking it out while Professor Storm tries to contact both the Ultimates and the X-Men for backup. Reed’s voice asks Professor Storm to evacuate the city for a mile around Midtown so that that someone can teach Namor a lesson. An enormous machine is striding through Midtown – Fantastic Oh-Five, which combines the four talents of the Fantastic Four, with Reed in the driver’s seat.

While Reed and Namor fight, medics examine both Sue and Johnny. Johnny’s out cold, and Sue has a concussion. Meanwhile, Ben Grimm is hitching a ride on a fire truck heading to Midtown.

Namor breaks through the Fantastic Oh-Five’s shielding and tackles Reed, but Reed is also wearing a helmet allows him to create things with a thought. Suddenly a giant-sized Dr. Storm appears in the middle of traffic. Since the construct is clad only in her underwear, the real Dr. Storm is not amused. Reed hastily replaces it with replicas of the Ultimates and the X-Men, who collectively begin beating on Namor. Professor Storm warns Reed that the helmet is draining power from everything within 20 blocks of Reed’s position.

Sue and Johnny are reported as back on their feet. Reed continues to assault Namor, but the helmet is now draining much of the eastern seaboard, and Professor Storm warns Reed to shut it down. Reed protests, but Professor Storm is forced to cut the power. Namor now has Reed by the throat.

Sue slaps Namor away with a force field, then calls in Johnny to finish the job. Johnny flash-fries Namor, and Ben drops a bus on him. Namor refuses to surrender. He forms the waters of the ocean into a replica of Poseidon and brings it in over the city. Sue demands to know what it will take to make him stop fighting and just go away. Namor wants her to kiss him, in front of Reed, and mean it. Over the protests of Reed, Johnny and Ben, Sue agrees. Namor gets his kiss and leaves, sending the water back to the ocean.

Dr. Storm is ready to return to her work. She stops to see Sue and tells her she’s proud of her. Sue replies that it’s not too late to get to know her family. Then she asks if the company Dr. Storm has been working for belongs to Victor Van Damme. Dr. Storm tells her it isn’t, and kisses her good-bye. We see a tattoo on Dr. Storm’s back – a green dragon with glowing eyes.
