Synopsis for "Turning Point!"
While out exploring the deep, the Sub-Mariner and Dorma come across a barrel of radioactive waste that has been dumped by a passing submarine. Furious and thinking that this is some kind of attack, Namor is about to engage the sub when he is talked out of the potential fight by Lady Dorma. Investigating the barrel, Namor determines what it is and decides to toss it into the forbidden Cavern of Darkness.
Tossing the barrel into the cavern it ruptures upon impact with the ocean floor. The seeping radioactive material then revives a creature known as It. Awakened from a centuries-old slumber, It climbs out of the cavern to seek out fresh victims. It's reawakening is picked up by a radar-warning station that picks up the creature's newly acquired radioactivity. As the creature approaches, the commander of the base orders a full alert, however, the base's sea-mines are unable to stop It, and the monster manages to destroy the radar warning station with its bare hands.
Returning to Atlantis, Namor and Dorma debate on if they should wage war on the surface world. Dorma's argument for peace prevails, and Namor agrees to send a team of his soldiers to the surface to deliver a warning not to encroach on his land in the name of peace. Along their journey, they are attacked by It and easily decimated. One of their number manages to escape back to Atlantis to warn Namor of the powerful new stranger that attacked them.
Furious at this, and thinking it's a possible attack by the surface men Namor rushes off to confront their mystery attacker. It meanwhile has come across an American sub and is about to attack it when he's jumped by the Sub-Mariner. During the course of the fight, the men aboard the sub figure they are being attacked by the Sub-Mariner. Namor also believes that It is working for the surface men. As the two titans clash, the soldiers aboard the sub fire their torpedoes at the two combatants.
