It physically represents all the countless battles, countless frustrations, countless failures from which Namor has emerged victorious, yet scarred. Just another villain. Call him what you will. Yet know: No matter what his name, he is every villain. And he shall be blindly destroyed.

Synopsis for "From the Void It Came..."

Notes
- The Sub-Mariner next appears in Giant-Size Super-Villain Team-Up #1.
- This story serves as unofficial conclusion (and crossover) by writer Steve Skeates of Aquaman #56 over at DC Comics. The title character's hand appears pushing the button that destroys the satellite boarded by the Slime-Thing in the beginning of the story, like he does in the end of the aforementioned comic. This issue's narrator makes the odd remark that the identity of that person is not of the reader's concern.
