Synopsis
Ka-Zar and Bobbi battle the Man-Apes while Man-God goes forth intent on world domination. He encounters El Tigre who barely escaped from the Fall People and dismisses his pleas for help. El Tigre tries to use the Mystic Mists but they devolve him and he falls to his death. Man-God investigates the Mists to find the source of power - an alien machine that splits him into two beings. The two halves fight it out and at the conclusion, the machine re-integrates them and changes Man-God back to Maa-Gor. With Man-God gone the Man-Apes return to dust.
