Synopsis

Reed Richards has been invited back to his old alma mater at State
University to deliver a lecture and has brought the rest of the
Fantastic Four along with him. After meeting with Dean Mencken, the four
cross paths with Charles Xavier who is at State University with his
student Scott Summers secretly investigating reports that there may be
mutants on campus. 

They stop as they pass by Professor Gilbert’s
laboratory and are shocked at his latest creation, a massive android
fashioned after a dragon. Meanwhile, in far off Transylvania, Diablo
breaks free from his imprisonment and teleports away, intent on getting
revenge against the Fantastic Four for trapping him.

Back in the States, Gilbert has the Thing help him with the heavy
lifting, later the pair bump into Peter Parker who is visiting State to
determine if he will attend after graduating high school. Neither the
Torch or the Thing are aware that Parker is secretly their sometime ally
Spider-Man. 

While the male members of the team play against the State
U. football team, Sue happens to partially recognize Diablo as he drives
past in a car, but the man exits the vehicle before she can get up
close enough to examine him. 

Diablo pays a visit to Professor Gilbert
and offers him a means of using alchemy to bring his android to life. 

As
they are conducting this experiment, the Thing wanders off having grown
bored listening to Reed’s speech. 

Spotting Diablo, Ben tries to attack
but is rebuffed by the now active Dragon Man. 

Their battle takes them
outside of the rest of the Fantastic Four join in. They soon realize
that the Dragon Man is smitten by Sue, but they are knocked out by gas.

When they revive they learn that the Professor, Diablo and Dragon
Man had retreated back to Dead Man’s Lake. 

They track their foes there
and Diablo tries to escape by freezing the lake and attempting to skate
across. Dragon Man turns on him and tries to chase after Diablo, but the
ice is too weak to support both their weights and shatters. 

Both Diablo
and Dragon Man plunge into the waters below and are lost when the
undertow sweeps both into some underwater caves. 

In the aftermath of the
battle, Reed takes Sue down to the sweetheart tree on campus and
finally proposes to her, and much to his delight she says yes.

Notes

• Reed Richards, and Ben Grimm attended State University as revealed in Fantastic Four #5 (in Italy in F4C #5).

• The Fantastic Four do not recognize Scott Summers and Charles
  Xavier as Cyclops and Professor X because at that time their identities
  were secret. They previously met in Fantastic Four #28 (in Italy in F4C #22).
  At some point Xavier revealed his true identity and those of the X-Men
  to the Fantastic Four not long after this. The earliest chronological
  instance of the FF having this knowledge is in X-Men First Class (Vol. 2) #1 (in Italy in 100% XM-FC VOL.2).

• Diablo frees himself from the ruins of his castle which he had been imprisoned in since Fantastic Four #30 (in Italy in F4C #23).

• While Peter Parker is seen considering attending State University after he graduates from high school, he ends up going to Empire State University instead as depicted in Amazing Spider-Man #31 (in Italy in URC #25).

• The Human Torch remembers previously meeting Peter Parker from their encounter in Amazing Spider-Man #21 (in Italy in URC #17) in which Peter attempted to make time with the Torch’s girlfriend Doris Evans.
  At this time the Torch was unaware that Peter Parker and his sometime
  ally Spider-Man were the same person. Peter does not reveal to Johnny
  that he’s Spider-Man until many years later in Spider-Man Human Torch #5 (in Italy in URP #433). Much later after that when the world’s memory of Peter’s secret identity was erased following Amazing Spider-Man #545 (in Italy in URP #488) he revealed his identity again to Johnny in Amazing Spider-Man #591 (in Italy in URP #524).

• Neither Diablo or Dragon Man truly perish here. Diablo was later recruited by Doctor Doom to crash Reed and Sue’s wedding in Fantastic Four Annual #3 (in Italy in F4C #39). Dragon Man remained hidden beneath Dead Man’s Lake until the area was revisited by the Torch and the Inhuman known as Medusa in Fantastic Four #44 (in Italy in F4C #40).

Synopsis

When the Torch learns that the Terrible Trio are on the loose again,
he cuts a golf date with Doris short in order to search for them.

down. 

However, not before he calls the Thing for help, who is also
similarly captured.

The two are bound to railroad tracks, but when the
oncoming train arrives, the Thing is able to stop it with his feet. 

Breaking free the two heroes quickly capture the Trio.

Notes

• Doris nags on Johnny to be more like Peter Parker. Doris met Parker in Amazing Spider-Man #21 (in Italy in URC #17).
  At this point in time neither knew that Parker was secretly Johnny’s
  rival and occasional ally, Spider-Man. Johnny doesn’t learn Spider-Man’s
  true identity for years until Spider-Man Human Torch #5 (in Italy in URP #433).

• Johnny recalls his previous battles with the Terrible Trio which occurred in Fantastic Four #23 (in Italy in F4C #18) and Strange Tales #122 (in Italy in F4C #23).

While aboard the Kree ship, Mar-Vell is in a holographic training session which is cranked up to a high level by Yon-Rogg, hoping that Mar-Vell will die during the experience.

After, Mar-Vell is ordered back to Earth, where his identity is almost exposed by Carol Danvers when she spots the Kree ship returning to Earth’s orbit and “Lawson’s” sudden appearance in the middle of the road. 

Later, in his guise of Lawson, Mar-Vell meets with Dr. Norman Lundquist who is displaying his Solar Amplification Light-Cannon. 

Examining the device, Mar-Vell realizes that the device has the potential of creating a solar energy creature (which Mar-Vell dubs “Solam”). 

However, when Mar-Vell decides to try and destroy the device, Yon-Rogg strikes Mar-Vell through his wrist communicator.

When the device creates a Solam creature, it goes on a rampage and gets strong as it absorbs more solar energy.
