Marvel Two-In-One No. 55 The Pegasus Project Part Three
Lightner's unleashing of Nuklo breaks up Ben's poker game.
The Thing soon finds himself in a tug-of-war like test of strength with Nuklo. Ben soon finds unexpected help.
Nuklo soon gives up. Giving Foster a chance to give us a capsule history of Goliath.
Quasar finds that Lightner has sabotaged the Project by deactivating the nuclear dampening rods. He utilizes his wrist bands to absorb the energy instead.
Looking in on entertainment wrestling it's Thundra vs. Titania.
This was when Titania still had normal strength. Some time after this, in the pages of Secret Wars, Titania will become a true powerhouse. I suppose we'll never see the wrestling script followed as Titania decides to cheat.
That drugged needle will knock Thundra out.
Back at the Project, Goliath (briefly called Giant-Man) calls dibs on Nuklo. Ben creatively fashions some lead boxing gloves for him.
Goliath is doing well.
But he drops his guard and Ben has to step in.
Nuklo is disabled like so . . .
It's a classic way to take out strength-based metahumans - take away their leverage and strength becomes useless.
