Synopsis

"The Comming of... Sub-Mariner!"
The Human Torch sees a bum in a bar who reminds him of the Sub-Mariner so he tosses him in the ocean to see if he can swim. The bum turns out to be the Sub-Mariner and the water returns his memories. Subby falls in love with Sue and uses his horn to summon a monster to eat New York. The F.F. stop it and Subby goes back to the sea.
