1. Skrull-bot. Don't forget
your lovely parting gifts.
Copy !req
2. Hold off on those reinforcements.
The Fantastic Four are here.
Copy !req
3. So, the little firefly
wants to play at war.
Copy !req
4. Lieutenant, order the K50 robot
to annihilate that flaming nuisance.
Copy !req
5. The Skrull robot's
third eye is open but not firing.
Copy !req
6. Obviously a targeting device. Ben.
Copy !req
7. Say no more. One super-size
Skrull shiner coming up.
Copy !req
8. Attaboy, Benjy. The black eye
from Old Blue Eyes. Flame on.
Copy !req
9. Quite a wallop you're packing.
Copy !req
10. Thanks. I learned from the best.
Copy !req
11. Ben. Play... spheroid?
Copy !req
12. You mean play ball,
you nutty professor.
Copy !req
13. Our attack has failed.
Copy !req
14. Abort invasion and return
to the Skrull Galaxy at once.
Copy !req
15. But my day will come, Fantastic Four.
Copy !req
16. Even now the circle of fate
continues to tighten around you.
Copy !req
17. Nice work, old friend.
Copy !req
18. Any red-blooded American Thing
would have done the same.
Copy !req
19. It's Sis. She's not moving.
Copy !req
20. Our top story.
Sue Richards of the Fantastic Four
Copy !req
21. sustained head injuries during
an epic battle routing the Skrulls.
Copy !req
22. Doctors at St Joseph's list her in
critical condition. In other news...
Copy !req
23. Come on, Sis. You've
gotta pull through. You just gotta.
Copy !req
24. - I need you.
- Susan.
Copy !req
25. Keep your little rubber chin up,
stretcho. She's gonna make it.
Copy !req
26. Susie's a fighter.
Copy !req
27. - Mr Richards.
- Doctor.
Copy !req
28. - Will she? Is she?
- It's not good.
Copy !req
29. Mrs Richards has a piece of shrapnel
embedded in her brain.
Copy !req
30. - Suze.
- But surely you can operate.
Copy !req
31. I'm afraid it requires surgery
beyond my capabilities,
Copy !req
32. or that of anyone else on our staff.
Copy !req
33. In fact,
there's only one surgeon I know of
Copy !req
34. who's ever performed
such an operation successfully.
Copy !req
35. Who? Where is he?
Let's get him already.
Copy !req
36. I wish it were so easy, young man.
Copy !req
37. The doctor I'm referring to
disappeared many years ago.
Copy !req
38. He's not likely to show up now.
Copy !req
39. Don't be too sure of that, Doctor.
Copy !req
40. - Dr Storm.
- Dad?
Copy !req
41. Hello, son.
Copy !req
42. Wait a minute. How in the?
Copy !req
43. Dad.
Copy !req
44. But I don't get it.
Sis said you were dead.
Copy !req
45. Dr Storm, there's no time to lose.
Copy !req
46. We'll prep your daughter for surgery.
This way.
Copy !req
47. I must be thinking
of some other superheroes.
Copy !req
48. I always thought
the kid and Susie was orphans.
Copy !req
49. That's what she wanted everyone
to think. Even Johnny.
Copy !req
50. How long's it gonna take?
They've been in there hours.
Copy !req
51. Listen, hang in there, kid.
Oh, it's over.
Copy !req
52. Susan, darling. She looks so pale.
Copy !req
53. She's going to be fine.
I expect a full recovery.
Copy !req
54. Susie girl's gonna be OK.
Copy !req
55. Thank heavens.
Copy !req
56. I've got my Susan back. I have never
been so happy to meet someone...
Copy !req
57. Dr Franklin Storm?
Copy !req
58. Detective, I've been expecting you.
Copy !req
59. You have the right
to remain silent...
Copy !req
60. Be serious.
Copy !req
61. - What's going on?
- What's this all about?
Copy !req
62. We've had a warrant out
for Storm for years.
Copy !req
63. We felt this might
bring him out of hiding.
Copy !req
64. - On what charge? What's he done?
- Franklin Storm is wanted for murder.
Copy !req
65. What?
Copy !req
66. I tell you, Susie, we've been bluer
than Smurf-berries all week without you.
Copy !req
67. Except for me, there ain't a single
pretty face to look at around here.
Copy !req
68. You all look pretty terrific to me, too.
It's so good to be home.
Copy !req
69. Sue, I know I get a little
too obsessed with my work,
Copy !req
70. but when I thought I might lose you.
Copy !req
71. There's so much I don't know about
you. So much you've kept locked up.
Copy !req
72. - It's OK.
- Yeah.
Copy !req
73. The fact our father was alive
and wanted for murder.
Copy !req
74. - You never bothered to tell me.
- Johnny.
Copy !req
75. It's alright, Reed. Johnny,
I'm sorry, but you were so young.
Copy !req
76. I was trying to protect you.
Copy !req
77. Maybe it's about time you let your
baby brother grow up, big sister.
Copy !req
78. You're right. Reed, hand me the photo
album in the drawer next to you.
Copy !req
79. - Remember this, Johnny?
- Look.
Copy !req
80. There's Torchy
when he was just a little matchstick.
Copy !req
81. This was before Mother and Father
left for the Medical Society dinner.
Copy !req
82. The Society was honouring Dad
for his surgical work.
Copy !req
83. That was the night Mother died.
Copy !req
84. It wasn't his fault,
but Dad was never the same.
Copy !req
85. He was lost without Mother.
He started gambling.
Copy !req
86. And losing. He borrowed money
from the wrong people.
Copy !req
87. When they came to collect,
he couldn't pay.
Copy !req
88. They threatened
to hurt his children, us.
Copy !req
89. There was a fight. The gun went off.
Copy !req
90. It was an accident. Dad didn't think
anyone would believe him.
Copy !req
91. He started running
and he never stopped.
Copy !req
92. He called once to tell me he was OK.
Copy !req
93. He felt it would be easier
if you thought he was dead.
Copy !req
94. I didn't know.
Copy !req
95. - No. It's impossible.
- Prepare yourself for a journey.
Copy !req
96. Ajourney from which
there is no return.
Copy !req
97. While I prepare for my mission.
Copy !req
98. The beginning of the end
for the Fantastic Four.
Copy !req
99. - I hope they treat him alright.
- Dad.
Copy !req
100. Dad. It's so good to see you.
Copy !req
101. Reed spoke to our attorney,
Matt Murdoch.
Copy !req
102. - He's taking on your case.
- That won't be necessary.
Copy !req
103. - What do you mean?
- Dad, are you alright?
Copy !req
104. More than alright.
During my years in hiding,
Copy !req
105. I've been developing a formula
that alters the cells of my DNA.
Copy !req
106. - A formula to make myself invincible.
- Sit down. You know the rules.
Copy !req
107. Your insipid rules
have just been changed.
Copy !req
108. - Dad.
- Hold it right there, Storm.
Copy !req
109. There is no more Dr Franklin Storm.
Make way for the Invincible Man.
Copy !req
110. There. The new Power Ray is installed.
Copy !req
111. A completely clean energy source
for the Fantasticar.
Copy !req
112. I got the idea
from watching that Skrull robot.
Copy !req
113. The Power Ray draws energy
from beyond the solar system and...
Copy !req
114. Stretch, the emergency signal.
Copy !req
115. Behold the might
of the Invincible Man.
Copy !req
116. Dad, stop. What are you doing?
Copy !req
117. So, you're finally all here.
Copy !req
118. Then it's time
for a long overdue father-son talk.
Copy !req
119. - Dad, this is insane.
- You dare speak that way to me?
Copy !req
120. Dr Storm, please, listen to reason.
Copy !req
121. Sue, what do I do?
I can't attack my own father.
Copy !req
122. Susie, you gotta stop your old man
before we have to hurt him.
Copy !req
123. Everyone, stand back.
Copy !req
124. Reed, no.
Copy !req
125. Why, thank you, daughter, dear.
Your assistance has been invaluable.
Copy !req
126. Did you see that? The Invisible Woman
helped that madman get away.
Copy !req
127. What'd you expect?
After all, he's family.
Copy !req
128. I'm sorry, Reed,
but I couldn't let you hurt my father.
Copy !req
129. What's the matter?
Copy !req
130. My dear, loving children. Need a lift?
Copy !req
131. Now, let's make it nice
and toasty cosy.
Copy !req
132. - This firetrap is shrinking.
- Johnny, try and absorb the flame.
Copy !req
133. It's no good. He keeps regenerating
the fire as fast as I can absorb it.
Copy !req
134. Fire, force fields,
he has all our powers combinred.
Copy !req
135. Yes, he does. Of course. That's it.
Copy !req
136. Dad!
Copy !req
137. Dad.
Copy !req
138. Reed,
what have you done to my father?
Copy !req
139. - That is not your real father.
- What are you talking about?
Copy !req
140. Return the real Dr Storm at once,
or this impostor will be destroyed.
Copy !req
141. - Ben, grab him.
- OK, stretcho.
Copy !req
142. - No, don't believe him. He's lying.
- Am I?
Copy !req
143. - Super-Skrull!
- Of course, witless Earthlings.
Copy !req
144. Did you think the Skrull Empire
would allow me to stay trapped
Copy !req
145. in that little volcanic prison of yours?
Copy !req
146. If you'll remember, Super-Skrull's power
is beamed in from the Skrull Galaxy,
Copy !req
147. so it's a simple matter to jam
the frequency with my Power Ray.
Copy !req
148. It was a Skrull plan to divide
and discredit the Fantastic Four.
Copy !req
149. Pretty smooth sleuthing, Sherlock.
Copy !req
150. Once again the Fantastic Four
has beaten you, Morrat.
Copy !req
151. Will you finally give up
your obsession with the Earth?
Copy !req
152. No, my loving princess.
Copy !req
153. If we expect your father
to consent to our marriage,
Copy !req
154. I need to prove myself worthy.
I'm not beaten yet.
Copy !req
155. Why doesn't something happen?
Maybe they never even...
Copy !req
156. Must be trash pick-up day.
Copy !req
157. - Dad!
- No, stay away!
Copy !req
158. Don't come any closer.
Copy !req
159. - No!
- Doc.
Copy !req
160. - They booby-trapped him.
- No. He isn't...
Copy !req
161. - I'll call an ambulance.
- It'll be too late, Ben.
Copy !req
162. Oh, Dad.
Copy !req
163. That explosion was meant for us
and he knew it.
Copy !req
164. He willingly gave his life
to save ours.
Copy !req
165. - Your father is a very brave man.
- Don't... cry, Susan.
Copy !req
166. Or you, Johnny. Don't feel sorry for me.
Copy !req
167. I let life defeat me years ago.
Didn't have the courage to face it.
Copy !req
168. But I've found that courage now.
And more important, I've found you.
Copy !req
169. Morrat, how could you
do something so cruel?
Copy !req
170. Anelle, I...
Copy !req
171. Warlord Morrat. Our science officer
Copy !req
172. has uncovered some new data
you may find interesting.
Copy !req
173. Oh, yes.
Copy !req
174. Very.
Copy !req
175. It isn't fair. We found
our father again, just to lose him.
Copy !req
176. Those stinking Skrulls
are gonna pay for this big time.
Copy !req
177. Even if I have to burn down
their whole blasted galaxy.
Copy !req
178. I understand how you feel,
Copy !req
179. but, remember, there's a difference
between justice and vengeance.
Copy !req
180. I don't care. I swear I'm gonna find
the Skrull who did this...
Copy !req
181. You bet, kid.
Even if we've gotta fight us
Copy !req
182. a whole planet of green guys
with bad complexions.
Copy !req
183. What?
Copy !req
184. Man. I didn't mean right this minute.
Copy !req
185. Sue, quickly. A force-field barrier.
Copy !req
186. Fire.
Copy !req
187. What happened?
My force field just dissolved.
Copy !req
188. Flame on.
Copy !req
189. My flame.
Copy !req
190. Time for a Skrull round-up.
Copy !req
191. - I can't seem to stretch.
- This toothpick just put on weight.
Copy !req
192. Now, contain them
with the lmmobiliser Ray.
Copy !req
193. Did you hear that?
Nothing but a puny whap.
Copy !req
194. Face facts, the Skrull atmosphere
has neutralised our powers.
Copy !req
195. I still don't understand.
Copy !req
196. If the Skrulls could just beam us
here, why didn't they do it long ago?
Copy !req
197. Their beam needs either Super-Skrull
or another strong source to guide it in.
Copy !req
198. Unfortunately, my new Power Ray
gave them just that signal.
Copy !req
199. Then that's it. We're Skrull kibble.
Copy !req
200. Not necessarily. I have an idea.
Copy !req
201. My darling, you must tell my father
the wondrous news of your triumph.
Copy !req
202. - Then he will consent...
- Of course, my beloved.
Copy !req
203. You know I have no secrets
from our noble Emperor.
Copy !req
204. - Now, go. I have much to do.
- Alright.
Copy !req
205. Lieutenant,
execute the Earth prisoners at once.
Copy !req
206. At once. When our people learn
Copy !req
207. the Fantastic Four
have died at the hands of Morrat,
Copy !req
208. I will be acclaimed
the Skrull Galaxy's greatest hero.
Copy !req
209. It will then be my sad duty
to succeed our beloved Emperor,
Copy !req
210. after his untimely demise.
Copy !req
211. - At my command, fire.
- Wait. Don't shoot.
Copy !req
212. I have something valuable to trade
in return for our lives.
Copy !req
213. - Speak. And speak fast.
- You know who I am
Copy !req
214. and how my scientific skill
has defeated you in the past.
Copy !req
215. - But now I offer you... the universe.
- What?
Copy !req
216. I do not trust you, Earthling.
Copy !req
217. What have you to lose
by hearing me out?
Copy !req
218. What? The Fantastic Four? Here?
Captured? Why was I not told?
Copy !req
219. But Warlord Morrat promised
to inform you immediately, Father.
Copy !req
220. Morrat. That untrustworthy martinet.
He has told me nothing.
Copy !req
221. By my sceptre, this smacks
of the highest treason. Come.
Copy !req
222. This Power Ray
will enable a born leader like yourself
Copy !req
223. to achieve his rightful place
as Supreme Ruler of the Skrull Galaxy.
Copy !req
224. - Here, I'll show you.
- Take care or your wife perishes.
Copy !req
225. Reed, how can you? You know this piece
of crud will use it to attack Earth.
Copy !req
226. Shut up. Don't tell me what to do.
Copy !req
227. Shut up? You're selling out our planet
and we're supposed to shut up?
Copy !req
228. - Why, you yellow-bellied...
- Shut up, both of you.
Copy !req
229. I'm the one
who makes the decisions for this team.
Copy !req
230. Reed, no.
Copy !req
231. - That goes for you, too, Susan.
- Well, aren't we ruthless.
Copy !req
232. How very... Skrull.
Copy !req
233. Thank you.
I believe I know how to use this now.
Copy !req
234. Like this.
Copy !req
235. - Why don't you fall like the others?
- Because the ray is a power source,
Copy !req
236. not a weapon. It's exactly what we
needed to restore our super-powers.
Copy !req
237. Flame on.
Copy !req
238. - How was my acting there, buddy?
- De Niro ain't gonna lose any sleep.
Copy !req
239. Destroy them!
Copy !req
240. Call for reinforcements. Now.
Copy !req
241. Looks like we're gonna
have to whup us a whole planet.
Copy !req
242. Just one planet?
Be done by lunch.
Copy !req
243. Morrat, I command you to stop.
Copy !req
244. Your Highness. An unexpected honour.
Copy !req
245. Allow me to present
your gracious Majesty
Copy !req
246. with these alien prisoners as
a paltry token of my humble esteem.
Copy !req
247. Liar. Traitor. Don't toy with me.
I know your intentions.
Copy !req
248. - Father, Morrat's your own Warlord.
- Silence.
Copy !req
249. He is Warlord no longer.
Strip him of his insignia.
Copy !req
250. Put him in chains. I brand Morrat
as a traitor to the realm.
Copy !req
251. Very well. Have it your way.
Copy !req
252. If traitor I am branded,
then traitor I shall be.
Copy !req
253. - Death to the Emperor.
- No.
Copy !req
254. - Cease fire.
- Morrat.
Copy !req
255. Morrat. No.
Copy !req
256. - She lives. It's a miracle.
- Not quite, Your Highness.
Copy !req
257. You have Susan to thank
for your daughter's life.
Copy !req
258. Anelle was saved
by her invisible force field.
Copy !req
259. What? My daughter's life
saved by an Earthling?
Copy !req
260. An enemy?
Copy !req
261. Though the sight of you is repugnant
to me, it seems I am in your debt.
Copy !req
262. We ask only for the Skrull responsible
for the death of Franklin Storm.
Copy !req
263. As you wish.
Copy !req
264. There is the one you seek.
The traitor, Morrat.
Copy !req
265. Now depart before I change my mind.
Copy !req
266. Our transporter
will return you to your planet.
Copy !req
267. I guess we got what we wanted, Sis.
Copy !req
268. Funny, I thought I'd feel better.
Copy !req
269. But revenge only keeps the hurt alive.
Copy !req
