Synopsis
Continued from last issue…
Following the sale of Fantastic Four Inc to Interlocking
Technologies Unlimited, Reed Richards spends time honing his skills in
the Fantastic Four’s training room, confirming a suspicion he’s had
since their last clash with Dr. Doom:
That his stretching powers are slowly fading away. After his training
session he is confronted by his wife Sue who notices there is something
wrong with him. Unable to tell his wife that he is losing his powers,
Reed lies and tells her that he is worried about Johnny — who stormed
out of the Baxter Building after Reed had sold the Fantastic four to
Interlocking Technologies.
Down on the street, Johnny Storm is fuming over not only this
transaction but also losing Crystal to the mutant Quicksilver whom she
just recently married. Feeling he needs the comfort of a woman he
remembers the romantic interest that Valeria of the 5th Dimension showed
in him and decides to pay her a visit. Travelling to the 5th Dimension
through the portal that exists in the wilds of Long Island, Johnny is
transported to the 5th Dimension’s Central Plaza. There, Johnny is
confused for something called an “Androne” by the people there who
attack him until they are broken up by Valeria’s father Phineas, now in
charge of the world. Phineas apologizes for his peoples brash attack and
informs him that they are at war with Reed Richards, much to Johnny’s
surprise. Taken to their command centre, Johnny is told that their
attacker is really a Reed Richards from another Earth (The Thing Reed
Richards of Earth-A) who created Andrones with his company Reed Richards
Robotics a subsidiary of Inter-Related Technocracies Unlimited. Johnny
is shocked by this revelation and the fact that this is an alternate
world where Nelson Rockefeller is president of the United States. They
are then attacked by a group of Andrones which Johnny easily defeats
with his flame powers. Johnny agrees to sign onto their cause and help
them fight this invasion from another world.
While back in the universe that is home to the Reed
Richards-Thing, Ben Grim from our reality and his counterpart from
Reed’s world and his wife Susan Grimm would notice that the Reed of this
world had signed up with the company Inter-Related Technocracies and
find it odd that Reed would just sell out. They decide to travel out to
New York City and investigate the corporation and are shocked to see
that the city is under siege by attackers from different time periods.
The Thing considers the only thing he knows possible of doing this would
be Dr. Doom’s time machine, however is confused how something like this
could be happening on another world. After the Thing uses his strength
to fight off two attacking Dinosaurs, he notices a televised address
from that worlds President Rockefeller telling them that this attack
came from beings from another universe. Ben’s counter-part in this
reality then betrays him to the military who gas Ben and take him
prisoner in the hopes he might be questioned about the coming invasion
so that they can from these interdimensional attackers. Ben however
confides in Susan that he isn’t sure he made the right decision.
Back in the Fantastic Four’s reality, Reed is angry that Ben has
gone missing and Johnny doesn’t answer his summons. He is then called
into the monitor room by Sue who shows him a news report that identifies
that the Earth is experiencing a great freeze over — the coming of a
new ice age — thanks to an attack that experts are saying are coming
from the 5th Dimension. Flipping one of his interdimensional viewers to
the 5th Dimension, Reed is surprised to see that Johnny is leading the
5th Dimensional army seemingly into an invasion to their world. Reed
vows to prepare to defend their Earth from this supposed invasion
missing one important detail: That the weapons provided to the people in
the 5th Dimension were provided by a company called Inter-Politan
Thermo-Dynamics Unlimited.
This story is continued next issue…
Notes
- Ben is surprised that New York on Earth-712 isn’t called
“Bigville” or “Cosmopolis”. This is a joke target at the fact that rival
DC Comics’ are based after real cities but have fictional names. For
example Gotham City is based on New York City, and Metropolis is a
combination of both New York and Toronto.

Synopsis
Continued from last year… Surviving an attempt on his life by the
Shroud, Dr. Doom now finds himself a prisoner of Namorita and the
Hydro-Men who wish Namor to be freed from his slavery to Latveria. Doom
insists to them that Namor is not being held against his will, but is
pledged to stay because of a promise made. Returning to Castle Doom,
they are informed that Namor has left the castle. Namorita and Tamara
Kurtz decide to go looking for Namor, and order their guards to keep
Doom in his castle.
Meanwhile, Namor and the Shroud continue their escape from
Latveria, and Namor becomes irritable that unless they find a cure he
will die in 24 hours. The Shroud takes him to where he left his plane
but is shocked to find that the villages discovered it and destroyed it.
When one of their hunting dogs picks up Namor and the Shroud’s scent
the peasants (led by Dr. Doom’s faithful servant Boris) chase after the
two men, forcing them to flee.
While Dr. Doom returns to Hydrobase to help out the scientist he
gets reports in from Boris about the chase on Namor and the Shroud.
Stumbling upon a small village, they discover a circus in town which
happens to belong to the Ringmaster and his Circus of Crime. When they
ask the Ringmaster to try and smuggle them out of the country, the
Ringmaster refuses to cross Dr. Doom. Losing his temper, Namor attacks
the Ringmaster. This leads to a fight with the Circus of Crime, whom
Namor easily defeats when they accidentally douse him with water.
Agreeing to smuggle Namor and the Shroud out of Latveria, the two pose
in as members of the circus that travels through Doomstad. However, when
Namor sees a projected image of Dr. Doom, they both realize that Dr.
Doom is not truly dead. Namor’s sense of honor kicks in and he decides
to stop trying to flee since he is still bound to his promise to Doom.
When the Shroud blows his own cover to try and get Namor to flee with
him, he is knocked aside by the Sub-Mariner and surrounded by guards.
This story is continues in Avengers #154 and next issue….
