1. There ain't enough petunias
in Poughkeepsie
Copy !req
2. to make a girl forget about this mug.
Copy !req
3. That is, if I still even have a girl.
Copy !req
4. Been so busy working
on the new headquarters,
Copy !req
5. I ain't made the time
I should have to see Alicia.
Copy !req
6. Especially since I got turned back
into this big pile of ugly orange brick.
Copy !req
7. Who am I kidding? Alicia's probably
found somebody else by now.
Copy !req
8. Somebody
who doesn't look like a bad blend
Copy !req
9. of Frankenstein and Mount Rushmore.
Copy !req
10. - Help.
- What?
Copy !req
11. - Help me.
- Hey, hang on, lady.
Copy !req
12. Here comes 500lbs
of grumpy gravel to the rescue.
Copy !req
13. Looks like it's your lucky day, lady.
Copy !req
14. And you just crapped out, mister.
Copy !req
15. Jeez. What?
Copy !req
16. Hey, I didn't mean
to make you wet yourself.
Copy !req
17. It's not that easy to hurt Hydroman.
Copy !req
18. This ain't doing wonders
for my lousy mood, lady.
Copy !req
19. Now, are you in trouble or what?
Copy !req
20. No, Benjamin Grimm, you are.
Copy !req
21. I'll take it from here, Medusa.
Copy !req
22. If you think
a little shock in the shorts
Copy !req
23. can keep me from clobbering you...
Copy !req
24. Your strength is even more impressive
than rumoured.
Copy !req
25. Trapster, paste him down.
Copy !req
26. It's a pleasure, Wizard.
Copy !req
27. One size fits all.
Copy !req
28. Behold, as my Id Machine
brainwashes Mr Ben Grimm.
Copy !req
29. Weakening the good part of his character
Copy !req
30. and strengthening the bad.
Copy !req
31. That's enough. You're killing him.
Copy !req
32. No, my dear Medusa.
Copy !req
33. I'm merely destroying
all that is good within him.
Copy !req
34. Now, hear me, Grimm, the Fantastic Four
are your mortal enemies.
Copy !req
35. Especially Reed Richards.
Copy !req
36. No, he's best friend.
Copy !req
37. Friend? Reed Richards, you call friend?
Copy !req
38. He who foolishly exposed you
to unknown cosmic rays,
Copy !req
39. resulting in your becoming
the hideous creature you are today?
Copy !req
40. My dear Benjamin Grimm,
Reed Richards destroyed your life.
Copy !req
41. No.
Copy !req
42. Yes.
Copy !req
43. Reed Richards did this to me.
Copy !req
44. Made me into a thing.
Copy !req
45. And for that Reed Richards must die!
Copy !req
46. There's nothing like home sweet home,
huh, darling?
Copy !req
47. You'd think these guys
were working for Dr Doom.
Copy !req
48. Destroying the Baxter Building
is becoming a growth industry.
Copy !req
49. Well, now, we'll anticipate better luck
with our new Four Freedoms Plaza here.
Copy !req
50. I'd better install
the automatic door openers
Copy !req
51. while the building is still standing.
Copy !req
52. Allow me.
Copy !req
53. Thanks, Mr Fantastic.
Copy !req
54. But I am explaining
why I was two hours late.
Copy !req
55. You think your average sicko villain
cares about my social life? Yeah.
Copy !req
56. So, about that movie.
Copy !req
57. Hello?
Copy !req
58. - Maybe if I had my own digs...
- Johnny, we've discussed this.
Copy !req
59. Let me guess. Girlfriend trouble?
Copy !req
60. No trouble, no girlfriend.
Copy !req
61. Yeah, now there's a bad joke.
Copy !req
62. The Human Torch
can't even find a real flame.
Copy !req
63. Even our ever-loving blue-eyed
rock pile has a steady girl.
Copy !req
64. - Then why does he keep ignoring her?
- Alicia.
Copy !req
65. I know you've been busy,
but Ben hasn't called
Copy !req
66. or come to visit me for days,
so I thought...
Copy !req
67. Alicia,
Ben left for your place last night.
Copy !req
68. But he never arrived.
Copy !req
69. Don't worry, dear. We'll find him.
Copy !req
70. - Fantastic Four, come in.
- It's Ben.
Copy !req
71. Hustle your blue and white butts to the
warehouse at Front and Third, pronto.
Copy !req
72. You ain't gonna believe
what I got for you.
Copy !req
73. - You'd better stay in the car, Al.
- But I...
Copy !req
74. Johnny's right.
You'll be safe here on the roof.
Copy !req
75. No telling what Ben's found inside.
Copy !req
76. Looks like old blue eyes
is here alright.
Copy !req
77. - Ben?
- Yeah, come on in, pal.
Copy !req
78. I've been waiting for you.
Copy !req
79. It's a trap.
Copy !req
80. And I'm the Trapster. Poetic, huh?
Copy !req
81. Flame on.
Copy !req
82. Hydroman.
Copy !req
83. This ought to light your fire, boy.
Copy !req
84. Hey, stop babying me, sis.
I could have outrun that bilge bucket.
Copy !req
85. Sorry, little brother. Johnny.
Copy !req
86. Impressive power, Susan Richards,
Copy !req
87. but less than nothing
compared to Madam Medusa's.
Copy !req
88. Who are these creeps?
Copy !req
89. Did you get a load of her?
I go for redheads in a big way.
Copy !req
90. Save it, Johnny.
Are you alright, dear?
Copy !req
91. How sickeningly touching
and how inevitably futile.
Copy !req
92. Get out of the way.
Copy !req
93. It's about time you showed up,
you big galoot.
Copy !req
94. Ben, are you alright?
Copy !req
95. How can I ever be alright,
you ego-loaded egghead?
Copy !req
96. Your harebrained schemes
turned me into this monster.
Copy !req
97. - Ben, stop. What are you saying?
- Back off, toots.
Copy !req
98. Nothing personal, but I'm about
to make a widow out of you.
Copy !req
99. Johnny, I'll get...
Copy !req
100. Welcome to
my shrinking-paste bubble, doll.
Copy !req
101. It's gonna take
all of your force-field energy
Copy !req
102. just to keep it from crushing you.
Copy !req
103. He's right.
Copy !req
104. I don't know
what they've done to you...
Copy !req
105. Done? I'll tell you what they've done.
Copy !req
106. They've helped me see you
for what you are, Richards.
Copy !req
107. My worst enemy.
Copy !req
108. Reel it in, you big gorilla.
I don't wanna burn you.
Copy !req
109. I'm shaking in my orange booties, punk.
Copy !req
110. I've been waiting to do this for years.
Copy !req
111. Old Sparky here is all yours.
Copy !req
112. Now that your Bunsen burner
brother-in-law can't protect you,
Copy !req
113. I'm gonna crush the bounce out of you.
Copy !req
114. Patience, my friend.
Copy !req
115. First let Richards learn
exactly who defeated him.
Copy !req
116. Offhand, I'd say it was me.
Copy !req
117. But if you wanna do a little gloating,
suit yourself.
Copy !req
118. The esteemed Mr Fantastic.
Copy !req
119. Do you know who has you mounted here
Copy !req
120. like a brilliant,
albeit short-lived, butterfly?
Copy !req
121. Hey, I recognise you.
Copy !req
122. You're the Wizard,
brilliant inventor of incredible devices
Copy !req
123. for the very rich and the very evil.
Copy !req
124. Very good, Richards.
Copy !req
125. Yes, I am that very same Wizard
the world used to talk about,
Copy !req
126. until you came along
with your free patents
Copy !req
127. and affordable inventions
for the common man.
Copy !req
128. Luckily, I found fellow inventors,
Copy !req
129. gifted yet unappreciated,
who shared my vision.
Copy !req
130. Peter Petroski, formally Paste Pot Pete.
Copy !req
131. Petroski? Yes, the research chemist
who invented multipolymer liquid.
Copy !req
132. Now known as the Trapster.
Copy !req
133. Meet Mory Benz,
better known as Hydroman.
Copy !req
134. Capable of transforming
the atoms of his body into water.
Copy !req
135. What's the matter, Torch?
Get your matches wet?
Copy !req
136. Careful, Hydroman. He's only a boy.
Copy !req
137. Madam Medusa, the last link
in my unbreakable circle of evil.
Copy !req
138. - What was that?
- Relax, my dear. It's only a cat.
Copy !req
139. Medusa's past is a mystery,
Copy !req
140. but her unique mastery of hair,
it's extraordinary.
Copy !req
141. Not to mention useful.
Copy !req
142. Together,
we're the unstoppable Frightful Four.
Copy !req
143. Don't you mean five?
Copy !req
144. Surprised at your friend's change
of heart, Richards? You shouldn't be.
Copy !req
145. Only my brilliance
could create an Id Machine
Copy !req
146. capable of turning even Ben Grimm evil.
Copy !req
147. Yes, once again
the world will marvel at the Wizard,
Copy !req
148. as my Frightful Four rob it blind,
Copy !req
149. because Reed Richards
and his Fantastic Four will be no more.
Copy !req
150. Yeah, enough yapping, bullet head.
Copy !req
151. Is it clobbering time or not?
Copy !req
152. Apologies, my dear Thing.
Copy !req
153. By all means,
feel free to indulge yourself.
Copy !req
154. Destroy Reed Richards.
Copy !req
155. Only one chance.
Copy !req
156. Johnny, Reed can't avoid
Ben's punches much longer.
Copy !req
157. If I can just flame on
fast and hot enough,
Copy !req
158. I might be able
to melt this sprinkler head.
Copy !req
159. Still too damp.
Copy !req
160. Third time's a charm, brain boy.
Copy !req
161. Free.
Copy !req
162. You freed him, you clumsy fool.
Trapster, stop him.
Copy !req
163. No way, paste puss.
I'll take care of Gumby.
Copy !req
164. Almost dry enough to... flame on.
Copy !req
165. Johnny, help Reed.
Copy !req
166. Why don't you just
leave him to the Thing?
Copy !req
167. Now you see me...
Copy !req
168. I'll lay down some cover fire, sis.
Copy !req
169. When I catch you,
Copy !req
170. even a chiropractor won't be able
to tell your head from your butt.
Copy !req
171. Hey, Red, alley-oop.
Copy !req
172. Back off.
That living inner tube is all mine.
Copy !req
173. If I can invert this
Id Machine's power output...
Copy !req
174. Forget it, Einstein.
Copy !req
175. There ain't nothing wrong with me
that clobbering you won't cure.
Copy !req
176. Seems like we never get to spend
a quiet moment alone any more, dear.
Copy !req
177. I see you're hiding behind
your old lady's tights, Richards.
Copy !req
178. Reed, Ben's too powerful.
Copy !req
179. I can't sustain this field much longer.
Copy !req
180. Just a little more time.
Copy !req
181. I think you'll find my anti-gravity disk
Copy !req
182. a marvellously
uplifting experience, Torch.
Copy !req
183. Not cool.
Copy !req
184. Boy, am I ever having a bad flare day.
Copy !req
185. - Is he alright?
- Why so concerned, my dear?
Copy !req
186. Concentrate on vanquishing our enemies.
Copy !req
187. They're up in the loft.
Copy !req
188. Got it. Sue, release your force field.
Copy !req
189. - Are you sure?
- Do it now.
Copy !req
190. Sue, reverse the polarity.
Copy !req
191. I hate you beyond hate, Richards.
Copy !req
192. It's not working. Increase the amperage.
I'll try to hold him.
Copy !req
193. Get off of me, you...
Copy !req
194. Now, now, Mrs Richards.
Copy !req
195. It isn't nice to fool
with other people's inventions.
Copy !req
196. OK, Stretcho, it's tombstone time.
Copy !req
197. Yeah, this is gonna be good.
Copy !req
198. Ben, no.
Copy !req
199. What are you saying, Ben?
Reed is your best friend.
Copy !req
200. - Alicia, run.
- What? Get her.
Copy !req
201. No. What's happening? Ben.
Copy !req
202. What? Alicia. Leave her alone.
Copy !req
203. Look at yourself. Remember your hatred
for Reed, how he destroyed your life.
Copy !req
204. Ben, help.
Copy !req
205. Yes, listen to Alicia, Ben.
I'm your friend.
Copy !req
206. Shut up.
Copy !req
207. That's right, Grimm,
remember how Richards made you
Copy !req
208. the pathetic ugly creature you are.
Copy !req
209. No, Ben, you're not ugly or pathetic.
Copy !req
210. You're the kindest, gentlest man
I've ever known.
Copy !req
211. I'm finished.
Copy !req
212. So am I.
Copy !req
213. Let her go, Rapunzel.
Copy !req
214. Take care of my girl, will you, pal?
Copy !req
215. Any time, my friend.
Copy !req
216. Cos I've got me
some real righteous clobbering to do.
Copy !req
217. Stop. Richards is the enemy.
Copy !req
218. Wrong, chrome dome.
You, on the other hand...
Copy !req
219. No.
Copy !req
220. Something tells me
old blue eyes is back.
Copy !req
221. You repulsive monstrosity.
Copy !req
222. You're still no match
for my powergloves.
Copy !req
223. Did someone say "match"?
Copy !req
224. Looks like the gloves are off, Wizzy.
Copy !req
225. - We must flee while we still can.
- Not quite time to leave the party.
Copy !req
226. Not to worry. I got her, sis.
Copy !req
227. I like chasing girls, but, man.
Copy !req
228. - Where's Medusa?
- I can't believe it, but I let her go.
Copy !req
229. - You what? But how could you?
- I don't know.
Copy !req
230. I just kind of felt sorry for her.
She seemed scared and...
Copy !req
231. I know. All your heat must be
fricasseeing your flame brain.
Copy !req
232. Or were you just dazzled
by another pretty face?
Copy !req
233. You're back
to your usual charming ways.
Copy !req
234. - Twerp.
- Rock head.
Copy !req
235. - Ben, please.
- Sorry, sweetie.
Copy !req
236. By the way...
Copy !req
237. Better late than never.
Copy !req
238. Oh, Ben. They smell lovely.
Copy !req
239. How come you don't bring me
flowers any more?
Copy !req
240. Late hours at the lab?
Copy !req
241. Now, Sue, if you received flowers
every day, how special would they be?
Copy !req
242. - As special as the anniversary flowers.
- Exactly.
Copy !req
243. - Anniversary?
- Which was?
Copy !req
244. But, dear, every day with you
is special. You love surprises.
Copy !req
245. Speaking of surprises,
what about the toilet seat?
Copy !req
246. The what?
Copy !req
