Doc knows something is afoot, but he goes along with it, to uncover the true evil. Meanwhile, he's mentally summoning his buddy the Hulk to his location for muscle backup, and the Hulk gets into all his usual misadventures while traveling across the planet to answer the call. So Paragon, as in the Paragon of Mankind, emerges from the cocoon, ready to chew bubble gum and take names, and he's all out of bubble gum. Combat ensues, first with Doc and the Hulk, and then with the Beehive too. The Beehive is destroyed, Doc and Hulk barely escape, and Paragon returns to his cocoon, now lying on the bottom of the ocean, to meditate on the purpose of his new existence.
Doc absorbs some nasty punches and energy blasts from Paragon.
Doc saves himself from an air circulator ceiling fan that will cut him to ribbons, in the process causing it to fall on Paragon. Doc wastes his moment to shine. The big ass spells should do more than that. A little pre-Defenders peek. From Comics Continuum .
