Synopsis
Unable to leave Latveria, the Fantastic Four find themselves unwilling guests of Latverian hospitality.
However, after Doom has to deal with two dissident citizens who try to catch Doom off guard, he orders the slaughter of the entire village by Servo-Guards as punishment. While back in the States, Sue goes house hunting for a home to raise her baby in, and is shown a strange house that the real estate agency found and is trying to sell. In order to insure that the Fantastic Four do not attempt to stop this slaughter, he has them drugged and while they are unconscious they are mentally conditioned to believe that they have lost their powers.
While Doom has a portrait painted of him, he orders the robots to storm the city and kill everyone in it, including the Fantastic Four.

Thousands of years ago, the brutal Tut-Amm-Tut sacks the lands of the neighboring peaceful King Ammen. His army defeated, King Ammen thinks to himself “I must flee but I shall never surrender.” He attempts to rally the neighboring peoples to his side and Tut-Amm-Tut begins to worry that Ammen’s army is becoming larger than his and so he prepares the secret of the “deep sleep” surrounded by treasure and sealed in crypt for thousands of years. In the modern day, an explorer finds the crypt of Tut-Amm-Tut and triggers a release mechanism that brings Tut-Amm-Tut out of his suspended animation. As a reward, he thinks he will slay the fool who has awakened him, but he is shocked when King Ammen steps into the light and states “I, too, knew the secret of the deep sleep.” King Ammen then lunges at Tut-Amm-Tut to extract his long-delayed revenge.
