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. Impressed that The Torch is more powerful than he realized, though still a teenager, Namor wonders if he might one day convince The Torch to join him and defeat the Fantastic Four. Back home Johnny collapses and Sue makes a snide comment about how tiring working on hot rods must be.
