Oracle Inc. throws a gala on the occasion of the arrival of its new super tanker but Desmond Marrs has secretly planted a bomb on the hull which explodes just as it's about to be christened by Oracle. Namor dives into the water to try to prevent a huge oil spill disaster but finds himself in the middle of a torrent of oil, clogging his gills and suffocating him. Earlier, Carrie Alexander, fearful of what befell other girlfriends of Namor, decides to leave him and Oracle Inc.
