Charlemagne does agree to go to Neil's lab, and while Neils steps out of the room, Charlemagne decides to expose himself to the rays of Neils' machine, which gives him tremendous strength, like that of a superman. Unfortunately, as Charlemagne expends his energy, he begins to tire and lose that strength and disappears, being burnt up in a burst of energy.
