Man-Thing!
A man named Hank Drummond) takes his infant son, Bobby), and tosses him over the edge of a bridge. Little does he realize that the Man-Thing) is stationed beneath the bridge, and catches the child. The sensation sparks images of his final moments as Ted Sallis, and some humanitarian element of the Man-Thing's psyche brings the child to the doorstep of Doctor Warren B. Thompson).
Hank meanwhile, returns to his home where he argues with his wife, Billie-Jo). He lies to Billie-Jo and tells her that little Bobby fell ill, so he brought him to Doc Thompson. Suddenly, Hank hears a ruckus taking place outside.
In the swamps outside the Drummond cabin, the Man-Thing is embroiled in a struggle with a hungry crocodile. He quickly crushes the animal, and then lumbers onward towards the cabin. Hank sees the creature and grabs a shotgun. He tells Billie-Jo to run for her life.
The Man-Thing clamps his hand across Hank's face, and begins to burn him slowly. Billie-Jo begs the Man-Thing to release him, and miraculously he does. Hank’s body slumps down to the ground, barely conscious. The Man-Thing turns and walks back out into the swamp.
