History
Peter Riker was a chemist who developed a new explosive that the Axis sought to obtain. A Nazi agent, Mawbrey breaks in and assaults the scientist. Finding no trace of the formula in Riker's home, Mawbrey deduces that it must be in a safe and flees the building to eliminate Riker with a bomb. However, as he flees to his car the Human Torch and Toro arrive. The two heroes fail to stop Mawbrey to blow up Riker's home and flee while the Torch and Toro go to rescue Riker.[1]
Although mortally wounded, Riker tells them that the only copy of his formula is in a safe within Mowbray Chemical Plant.
