History: (Sea Devils #12) - The Magnetic Menace was a monster who was freed from the earth when a volcano erupted. The Menace plodded along on the sea-bottom, sinking ships drawn to his magnetic body. The Sea Devils investigated the sinking ships, and their oxygen tanks drew them to the Menace. They were helplessly stuck, but they radioed their youngest member Nicky Walton, who’d quit because he felt unworthy of being a Devil. Nicky arrived and fled into a wrecked sub before the magnetic pull affected him, and fired the sub’s torpedo, destroying the creature.
