Synopsis:
The Liquidator, a mutant that can sense evil, returns to Atlantis. The creature seeks a marauder that has been attacking Atlantean patrols and promises justice when he finds the culprit. Lord Ragnar, the head of the Atlantean military, summons Aquaman to handle the situation. However, Aquaman is overcome by evil impulses which put the Liquidator on his trail. While Aqualad and Mera go to help the Sea King, Ragnar usurps Aquaman's throne.

Aquaman battles the Liquidator, who is being urged on by Ragnar. Aqualad realizes that Ragnar is behind the attacks and is using a special helmet to hide his own evil from the Liquidator. Once Aqualad is able to take the helmet away from Ragnar, the Liquidator realizes that he has been pursuing the wrong man. Ragnar escapes his new foe by burying the Liquidator in an undersea avalanche, but Aquaman stop Ragnar. The Sea King then releases the Liquidator, and they part on positive terms. Aquaman then returns to Atlantis free from the drug-induced evil spell.
