Inside, the Doomsday Man moves and thinks on his own and attacks the Surfer. He then takes control of a experimental Cobalt Bomb that is also housed in the structure and heads toward the United States mainland.It is soon revealed that the doctor has been lying and has planned for Doomsday Man to escape with the weapon. Since he is the creator he is the only one able to stop him and plans to make it rich by offering his services.The Surfer distracts Doomsday Man and he releases the weapon. The Surfer creates a chasm to Earth's core for the robot to fall in. Before it falls, it struggles and kills its maker. It then plunges to the core of the Earth.
