Whyte sends Crypto-Man out into the city on a rampage of destruction. Thor engages the Crypto-Man in battle & is challenged by its level of power. Having watched the battle, Whyte brags to Thor that he is beaten during a lull when the android leaves. Thor & Whyte follow the Crypto-Man to the atomic power plant.
