A rivalry for the ages is born when Namor, mistreated by the surface world, attacks New York - and the Torch stands in his way! As WWII rages, Namor decides to obtain peace by flooding the planet! Can the Torch and his young sidekick Toro bring Namor back to his senses? They'd better - because the Nazis are on the attack, and the two Golden Age arch-rivals must put their differences aside and unite against a common foe!
