    No recent wiki edits to this page.

    The Frightful Four return, and this time they've brought their A-game. The villains have managed to strand the FF without resources! Are the Fantastic Four truly defeated?

    The Frightful Four are back, with another plan to exterminate the FF once and for all!

    This time, the Wizard's plan is to kidnap the Invisible Girl and lure the rest of the team to an island where they will leave them stranded with a huge bomb set to go off!

    Things start off well, with a very sexy Medusa posing as a designer to entrap Sue, then Johnny is trapped by Paste Pot Pete (now going by the name TRAPSTER), and the rest of the FF gamely follow the Frightful Four to the designated Spot, determined to free their teammates! The plan is in full effect! But as the Wizard will find out, nothing is ever written in stone!

    Another terrific Frightful Four story.
