In "To Destroy the Realm Eternal," Namor returns to Atlantis only to find it under siege by the Plunderer. As their clash erupts beneath the waves, an American submarine, detecting the disturbance, unleashes depth charges—destroying the Plunderer’s vessel and devastating much of the underwater city. With Namor unconscious and the Atlantean army now poised to rise and wage war on the surface world, tensions reach a breaking point.
