Synopsis
While the FF deal with some troubles with the Fantasti-Car, Dr. Doom is rescued from deep space by the time-traveling Rama-Tut.
Conversing, they somehow illogically theorize that Rama-Tut is perhaps a
future version of Dr. Doom. Inspired all the same, Rama-Tut returns
Doom to Earth while the ersatz pharaoh resumes his wanderings.
Back on Earth, Doom reaches the Latverian embassy and begins
formulating a trap. With the FF unaware that Doom is really the ruler of
Latveria, he invites them to a party, putting a drug in their drinks to
make them see illusions. He tricks each of them into thinking they’re
being attacked by the others, before they eventually realize his
machinations.
Regrouping, the team battles at their headquarters. Reed offers
Doom a chance to destroy him, providing Victor can use a
mentally-powered weapon against Richards before Reed can do likewise. As
the contest begins, Reed offers Doom one last drink. Engaging the
device, Doom believes he destroys Richards and departs the Baxter Building triumphantly. However, Reed has given Doom a taste of his own medicine, by drugging him with his own hallucinogen.
Notes
- The events in this story take place between Fantastic Four # 30 and 31 (in Italy in F4C # 24 and 25).
- Doctor Doom was lost in space following his defeat at the hands of the Fantastic Four in Fantastic Four #23 (in Italy in F4C # 18)
- Rama-Tut appears here following his defeat at the hands of the Fantastic Four in Fantastic Four #19 (in Italy in F4C # 14). It was later revealed that the time storm that prevented Rama-Tut from returning home was caused by Immortus, his future self, as revealed in Avengers #269 (in Italy in CAPST # 55). This was done to assure that Rama-Tut would eventually become Immortus.
- Rama-Tut’s assertion that he and Doctor Doom may be the same
man from different points in history does not match the established
origin of Rama-Tut in Fantastic Four #19 (in Italy in F4C # 14). This was later revealed as an early deception by Rama-Tut to manipulate Doctor Doom as explained in Avengers: Forever #8 (in Italy in THP # 11). Although they may be related as What If? Vol 2 #39 (unpublished in Italy) states that Tut may have a common ancestor of either Reed Richards or Doctor Doom.
- This encounter with Doctor Doom later inspired Rama-Tut to become the Scarlet Centurion as seen in Avengers Annual #2 (in Italy in THC # 70). He became Kang later still as seen in Avengers #8 (in Italy in THC # 16).
- Doom was tricked into believing that he had killed Reed Richards, however the deception was revealed to him in Fantastic Four #39 (in Italy in F4C # 34).

Synopsis
The Puppet Master and Mad Thinker have teamed up to get revenge on
the Fantastic Four. Using the Mad Thinker’s plans and the Puppet
Master’s dolls, they plot to use the Thing to attack the others.
However, when the Thing initially attacks the Human Torch, one of his
random transformations back into his human form severs the link between
the Thing and the Puppet Master’s doll.
Returning to the Baxter Building, Johnny and Ben seek Reed’s help in
finding out what happened to cause the Thing to lash out at Johnny.
Realizing it’s the Puppet Master’s doing, Reed builds a device that
feeds back the Puppet Master’s power, so when he uses his puppet to try
and control the Thing again, it backfires, causing an explosion that
knocks him out and foils his and the Mad Thinker’s plot.
