Meanwhile, Black Panther pays a visit to Monica Lynn to tell her of his activities of a school teacher. Leaving her to report back to Avengers Mansion, Monica is attacked and kidnapped by the Man-Ape. When Black Panther arrives at Avengers Mansion and learns about the Man-Ape's earlier attack, the Avengers are contacted by the Ape himself who informs them that he has captured Lynn and that he wishes to battle the Black Panther alone.
