Synopsis

While the FF comment on the Thing’s latest gift from the Yancy Street Gang — A Beatles Wig — greedy millionaire Gregory Gideon makes a bet with his competitors: If he cannot defeat the Fantastic Four within a week, he will forfeit his entire fortune to them, but if he succeeds he gains their wealth.

Gideon’s plan starts off by convincing the Thing that Reed is really a Skrull imposter, and convincing Sue that Johnny is a robot imposter created by Doctor Doom. 

Although they clash with each other, they soon realize that they were tricked. 

Rushing to the Baxter Building, they are unaware that Gideon’s men have setup Dr. Doom’s time machine into the floor so that whoever crosses it gets sent to another time.

Gideon’s plan ultimatly fails because his son Tommy is a big Fantastic Four fan, and when he learns that his father is going to kill his favorite heroes the boy goes to the Baxter Building to warn them. 

What happens instead is Tommy walks throgh the trap, and although the Thing tries to save the boy, the two are transported to another era. 

While the FF round up the crooks and turn off the time machine, Gideon arrives and begs Reed Richards to bring back his son and is willing to pay anything to get his boy back. When the boy appears safe and sound, having been returned to the present when Reed turned off the device, Gideon realizes that in his mad quest for ultimate wealth he neglected the most valuable thing he had: His family.

After listening to an appeal from Gideon’s wife, and Gideon swearing off his fortune to charity, the Fantastic Four decide to let the Gideon family go to rebuild their troubled family.

Synopsis

Continued from last issue…

Communist agents are plotting to capture Walter Lawson by sending their latest super-powered agent the Metazoid — a being mutated to have the metabolism of 50 men — to capture Lawson. 

Meanwhile, Mar-Vell returns to Earth and assumes his identity as Lawson. Returning to the cape he deflects the suspicions of Carol Danvers about “Lawson’s” activities. 

Traveling to the hospital where Logan is recovering, Mar-Vell is attacked by the Metazoid before he can erase Logan’s memories. Changing into his Kree armor, Mar-Vell battles, but tries to avoid killing the creature.

However, when physical might, and his Uni-Beam prove useless against the Metazoid, Mar-Vell is forced to expose the Metazoid to an x-ray machine which proves to be lethal to the Metazoid. 

After the death of his attacker, Mar-Vell succeeds in using the memory eraser on Logan, and quickly flees when doctors stumble in upon Mar-Vell when he’s completed his job. 

Notes

In this issue, Captain Marvel continues to be disguised as the deceased Dr. Walter Lawson.
