Johnny is frustrated that his partners don't take him seriously. Reminded that Sue still has a crush on Sub-Mariner Johnny decides to impress the team by challenging Namor to a fight. Johnny writes a message in flames challenging Namor and a major free-for-all soon erupts.

Back home Johnny collapses and Sue makes a snide comment about how tiring working on hot rods must be.

Notes:
Fifth modern-day appearance of The Sub-Mariner. Previous appearance in FANTASTIC FOUR #14 (May 1963); next appearance in FANTASTIC FOUR ANNUAL #1 (November 1963). Although this story came out a month before FF #14, it feels much more like a sequel. First non-Jack Kirby Sub-Mariner story of the 1960s. Sub-Mariner exhibits the powers of a puffer fish and an electric eel, never seen again after this story. Splash page slightly reformatted and page numbers removed for this reprint.
