Coming alive, the resultant Shaggy Man looked to destroy anything that moved with Zagarian being paralysed by fear leading to him surviving the monsters rampage. After destroying the laboratory, the Shaggy Man departed and Dr. Zagarian realised the monster he had created and resolved that the plastalloy man needed to be destroyed. He attempted to use a gun to help him kill his creation but the Shaggy Man simply regenerated from his injuries and pursued Zagarian. In desperation, Dr. Zagarian created an elaborate trap whereby the Shaggy Man was tricked into a room where molten iron poured on him in a sea cave whereupon two electro-magnets were used to immobilise him in place as the metal cooled down.
