1. Doom, show yourself, you coward.
Where's Susan?
Copy !req
2. Watch it, hothead.
You're cooking my corns.
Copy !req
3. This is pretty uninspired,
the big, bad Dr Doom kidnapping me
Copy !req
4. just to lure us here
to your wretched island.
Copy !req
5. I'm so sorry to involve you
Copy !req
6. in the timeworn
damsel-in-distress cliché, Mrs Richards.
Copy !req
7. I feel the only thing missing
is the onrushing train.
Copy !req
8. However, sometimes
expediency outweighs originality.
Copy !req
9. Now, with your permission...
Copy !req
10. Blast. This thing's
neutralised my force field.
Copy !req
11. But if I can still
project invisibility...
Copy !req
12. Why, you mangy metal maggot!
Copy !req
13. Well, I'll be a blue-eyed...
Copy !req
14. - Hey, Stretcho. I found Susie.
- What? Where, Ben?
Copy !req
15. In the basement.
Copy !req
16. - Where's the entrance?
- Funny you should ask.
Copy !req
17. Well, a neuro-stimulator.
Copy !req
18. - Sue, darling.
- We've got to get off this island.
Copy !req
19. Doom set that nuclear bomb
to go off any second.
Copy !req
20. - If I can defuse its detonator...
- You heard the lady, Stretcho.
Copy !req
21. Time's a-wasting.
Let's hustle our little blue tushies.
Copy !req
22. But...
Copy !req
23. Doom's ship.
Copy !req
24. It's gonna be a long walk home now.
Copy !req
25. Yeah, but if we stay in this rumble,
Copy !req
26. we're gonna become
the Fire-Roasted Four.
Copy !req
27. Goodbye, Fantastic Four.
Time to join the choir invisible.
Copy !req
28. Dr Richards?
Copy !req
29. Stand back. Sue, Ben, Johnny.
Copy !req
30. - What?
- What's going on?
Copy !req
31. My arms, they won't stretch.
Copy !req
32. Flame on. Nothing's happening.
Copy !req
33. Reed, I can't make myself invisible.
Copy !req
34. Alright, who short-sheeted me?
Copy !req
35. - Ben.
- Hey, when did this come down?
Copy !req
36. - All of you...
- Who's this guy?
Copy !req
37. Calm down. You're perfectly safe
in the infirmary of a navy submarine.
Copy !req
38. - What?
- We picked you up at sea yesterday.
Copy !req
39. - The infirmary? We're at sea?
- I remember now, darling.
Copy !req
40. - Dr Doom's island. The bomb.
- That's right, sis.
Copy !req
41. You enclosed us all in a force field
when the blast went off.
Copy !req
42. And then everything went black.
Copy !req
43. And the radiation
somehow disabled our powers.
Copy !req
44. Yeah, and turned one of us
from a chunk to a hunk.
Copy !req
45. Sorry, Susie.
Copy !req
46. But without our powers,
the Fantastic Four is...
Copy !req
47. Kaputski.
Copy !req
48. Reed, honey,
you've got to get some rest.
Copy !req
49. No time, darling. I've just duplicated
the neuro-stimulator device
Copy !req
50. Doom used to hold you prisoner.
Copy !req
51. If I can reverse its action, I just
might be able to restore our powers.
Copy !req
52. Sounds good to me,
although, frankly,
Copy !req
53. Ben seems a lot happier
without his powers.
Copy !req
54. - Excuse me, mister.
- Hey.
Copy !req
55. I didn't notice you.
Copy !req
56. Thanks, buddy. You don't know
how good that is to hear you say that.
Copy !req
57. Here you go, Alicia, baby.
Tutti-frutti for my cutie.
Copy !req
58. Oh, Ben.
Copy !req
59. - I'm having such a good time today.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
60. But with your powers gone, what will
become of you and your friends?
Copy !req
61. Reed's working on some stuff.
We're gonna be fine.
Copy !req
62. - I'm not so sure.
- Hey, beautiful, come on.
Copy !req
63. Enough fretting and fussing.
Let's have some fun.
Copy !req
64. I'm back to normal. Look.
I'm loving every second of it.
Copy !req
65. And speaking of love, baby.
Copy !req
66. Mommy, look at that
big ugly orange thing.
Copy !req
67. What?
Copy !req
68. That kind of puts the kibosh
on the mood of the moment, don't it?
Copy !req
69. I know how you feel, pal.
I know just how you feel.
Copy !req
70. A toast, Boris,
to Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four,
Copy !req
71. who have of late
passed on to the undiscovered country.
Copy !req
72. Bereft of their interference,
Copy !req
73. I'm free to bring much needed peace
and order to a world gone mad.
Copy !req
74. - Master.
- You may speak.
Copy !req
75. Our sources report
that the Fantastic Four
Copy !req
76. survived the liquidation of Island TR5.
Copy !req
77. Reed Richards, alive?
Copy !req
78. Your plan to destroy them
has failed, Master.
Copy !req
79. Failed.
Copy !req
80. Dr Doom does not fail.
Copy !req
81. Without their powers, the Fantastic Four
will be helpless if...
Copy !req
82. If any of their old enemies found out.
I understand.
Copy !req
83. Matt, you've always been there for me
in the past.
Copy !req
84. I'm frightened for my friends
and hoped you might have some advice.
Copy !req
85. - I actually might be able to help.
- Hey, listen, Mr Lawyer Man.
Copy !req
86. I let myself be dragged here
cos it was important to Alicia.
Copy !req
87. And in case you hadn't noticed, pal,
you're blind.
Copy !req
88. I don't see how you're gonna exactly be
a big help to the Fantastic Four.
Copy !req
89. Hey, we ain't ever asked
for no hand-outs before
Copy !req
90. and we're not gonna start now.
Copy !req
91. - Matt, I'm sorry.
- It's alright, Alicia.
Copy !req
92. Sometimes we blind people see things
more clearly than those with sight.
Copy !req
93. Alright, now, don't worry.
I've got a friend who can help.
Copy !req
94. A very close friend.
Copy !req
95. - OK, Ben, this way.
- Gotcha, pal.
Copy !req
96. Nuts. I'll never get the hang of this
crummy outfit. Why do I have to wear it?
Copy !req
97. Because its hydraulic exoskeleton will
give some semblance of your old powers.
Copy !req
98. The same reason Johnny has his flame rig
and Sue her invisibility simulator.
Copy !req
99. Well, jeez. Well, I feel like a muppet.
Copy !req
100. OK, I'm sorry, but until we find a way
to get our real powers back,
Copy !req
101. we don't dare let our enemies know
just how vulnerable we've become, or...
Copy !req
102. Or something like that'll happen?
Gee whizz.
Copy !req
103. I can't hold it!
Copy !req
104. I've got it covered, Stretcho.
Copy !req
105. I think I've finally
got this doohickey figured out.
Copy !req
106. You'd better check on that warranty.
Copy !req
107. We've got to get out of here.
Copy !req
108. Can't see. Smoke's too thick.
I'll try to light the way. Follow me.
Copy !req
109. - This a private party?
- Daredevil. Where'd you?
Copy !req
110. Alicia's friend Murdock
asked me to keep an eye on you.
Copy !req
111. I told that shyster
we didn't need his help.
Copy !req
112. Yeah. The day the FF
can't handle things...
Copy !req
113. Now, if everyone's had their say,
Copy !req
114. grab hands and follow my lead.
Copy !req
115. Amazing. How did you find your way
through that mess?
Copy !req
116. Call it a gift.
It came with the red suit.
Copy !req
117. Nuts. Look up there.
Check out that action.
Copy !req
118. It's Dr Doom's airship.
That's who's been spit-balling us.
Copy !req
119. Oh, no. Doom's taken over our building.
Copy !req
120. He's in my lab.
Copy !req
121. He must have used
my biogenetic tracker to find us.
Copy !req
122. Yeah? Maybe it was that note you left
saying, "We're at the warehouse."
Copy !req
123. Oh, man. Take a look at that.
Copy !req
124. The Fantastic Four will now perish
Copy !req
125. by the hand of Dr Doom.
Copy !req
126. Luckily, we're not totally helpless.
We've still got the...
Copy !req
127. - Oh, no.
Fantasticar.
Copy !req
128. - Doom's running it by remote control.
- Eat dirt.
Copy !req
129. Head for the garage. Go.
Copy !req
130. Heads up, Ben.
Copy !req
131. Thanks, pal. That would have been
one ugly hero sandwich.
Copy !req
132. Impressive but futile.
Copy !req
133. And yet it's curious.
They haven't counterattacked.
Copy !req
134. No flaming torch.
Copy !req
135. No annoyingly clever Reed Richards.
Why?
Copy !req
136. With Doom controlling our arsenal,
we're sitting ducks wherever we go.
Copy !req
137. Doom is using my vortex ray.
Copy !req
138. This way.
Copy !req
139. How do you do that?
Copy !req
140. Try to make it to the Baxter Building.
I'll draw Doom's fire.
Copy !req
141. Hey, Dr Doombell. This way.
Copy !req
142. Fire in the hole.
Copy !req
143. Where's Richards?
Copy !req
144. And who is this meddlesome fool
who fights for them?
Copy !req
145. Unless, of course,
they can't fight for themselves.
Copy !req
146. Of course. My bomb.
Copy !req
147. The radiation.
They've lost their powers.
Copy !req
148. Finally, Reed Richards...
on a silver platter.
Copy !req
149. They've evacuated the building.
Copy !req
150. They're letting us have first crack
at the Doomster.
Copy !req
151. Good. If I can retime the destabilising
ioniser on the neuro-stimulator,
Copy !req
152. it just might decay
and reverse the radiation effects.
Copy !req
153. - If we can distract him until...
- Say no more.
Copy !req
154. Daredevil's the name.
Distraction's my game.
Copy !req
155. And if I don't make it,
it's been a real slice of heaven.
Copy !req
156. - Hang loose, heroes.
- Jeez. Long john-wearing show-off.
Copy !req
157. Funny. A lot of people
react that way to lawyers.
Copy !req
158. - We're clear. Come on.
- Commendable.
Copy !req
159. Doom's dynamited the stairwell.
Copy !req
160. Well, then let's just take
our elevator, shall we?
Copy !req
161. No way. He'll hear the alarm.
That baby's rigged to blow.
Copy !req
162. We have no other choice. Let's hope
Daredevil keeps him too busy to notice.
Copy !req
163. Fool. Your reflexes are fast.
Unfortunately not fast enough.
Copy !req
164. It's not exactly hi tech,
but, hey, who's complaining?
Copy !req
165. So, the elevator.
Copy !req
166. Their miserable lives
can now be counted in seconds.
Copy !req
167. Farewell, my Fantastic-less Four.
Copy !req
168. Doom's activated the detonator.
The elevator's gonna blow!
Copy !req
169. This elevator's gonna be pixie dust
and Stretcho's playing with the buttons.
Copy !req
170. I looped the circuit back up to Doom.
Now let's get out before he resets it.
Copy !req
171. Jeez. Why does everything
always have to be such a close call?
Copy !req
172. 34th floor.
Doom is right over our heads.
Copy !req
173. - Doom.
- Fool.
Copy !req
174. Did you presume to catch me unawares?
Copy !req
175. - Was it my breath?
- You primrose popinjay.
Copy !req
176. You're too late.
The Fantastic Four are dead.
Copy !req
177. And you are in time for your own demise.
Copy !req
178. Let go of him,
you clinking can of crud.
Copy !req
179. Why, it's the formerly Fantastic Four.
Copy !req
180. I see you've survived my little welcome.
Copy !req
181. Mere fists against my bionic armour.
How prosaic.
Copy !req
182. Reed, I can't move.
Copy !req
183. A true genius would have prepared for
this exigency with insulated garments.
Copy !req
184. But, as always, we both know
which of us is the true genius.
Copy !req
185. I've made an interesting little
improvement in your ventilation system.
Copy !req
186. I will now suck all the air
out of the room,
Copy !req
187. and like the martyrs of Masada,
you may watch each other die.
Copy !req
188. Have a nice day.
Copy !req
189. The stimulator. Got to...
Copy !req
190. Hey, Stretch, the gadget.
Copy !req
191. Come on, tell me how it works.
Now. Tell me.
Copy !req
192. No, Ben, let me.
You'll become the Thing again.
Copy !req
193. Sorry, Alicia.
Copy !req
194. Going somewhere, Doc?
Copy !req
195. Let go of me, you pathetic monstrosity.
Copy !req
196. You brainless baboon.
Did you think me defenceless?
Copy !req
197. Feeling the weight of the world
on your misformed shoulders?
Copy !req
198. My bipolar amplifier increases the force
of gravity on you a thousandfold.
Copy !req
199. No. It's not possible!
Copy !req
200. You. You're the reason
I'm the Thing again.
Copy !req
201. The reason Alicia ain't never gonna
have a normal life with me.
Copy !req
202. Now you're gonna pay.
Copy !req
203. Ben, wait.
Copy !req
204. Big guy, easy.
Copy !req
205. Back off, kid.
This is between me and metal face.
Copy !req
206. Ben, please.
Copy !req
207. Let him go. We're not murderers.
Copy !req
208. You leave me no choice
but to act for the greater good.
Copy !req
209. I've just destroyed the fusion limiters
from Reed Richards' dimensional reactor.
Copy !req
210. In exactly one minute, it will create a
minute tear in the space-time continuum,
Copy !req
211. - reducing this building and...
- Follow me.
Copy !req
212. most of Manhattan to cosmic dust.
Copy !req
213. Let it weigh on your souls.
Copy !req
214. Pity, really.
I never did get to see Cats.
Copy !req
215. Ten seconds
and Manhattan'll be kitty litter.
Copy !req
216. - Oh, boy.
- Sue, it's up to you.
Copy !req
217. I've never tried anything
this big before, but here goes.
Copy !req
218. Well, maybe he didn't get you,
Copy !req
219. but your building needs
a lot of spackle.
Copy !req
220. A whole new building's more like it.
Copy !req
221. Better make our next digs warp-proof.
Copy !req
222. Well, I guess I'd better go tell Alicia
that I'm not her dream man any more.
Copy !req
223. Oh, Ben. Alicia loves you
for who you are, not what you look like.
Copy !req
224. Yeah. Lucky her.
Copy !req
