He briefly fought back, but quickly surrendered after being tackled by It the Living Colossus. Afterward, Abominable Snowman commented on team director Clay Quartermain's attitude and then asked Gorilla Man why he fell off his sky-cycle during the fight when he'd seen other monkeys ride bicycles with proficiency at a zoo.

(Nick Fury's Howling Commandos#6) - Abominable Snowman was part of the massive assault on Merlin's army.
