Synopsis for "To Fall by Treachery!"
Throughout the examination, the Beast tries to speak up but is repeatedly cut off by the rest of the group. Feeling ignored, he quietly departs. In a bout of self-pity, he stalks off in a trenchcoat and fedora, concerned about the reactions he’ll get from the general public. Confirming his fears, a hot dog vendor he approaches runs away in horror at the sight of him. But then, to his surprise, he is mobbed by women who gush over him as if he were one of the Beatles!
As he basks in his newfound sex symbol status, the Beast fails to notice a sinister figure drive past him in a Rolls Royce. This person drives to a harbor warehouse where he finds a worker lifting massive crafts with his bare hands. The figure identifies the worker as the supervillain Power Man, who insists he’s left his villainous life behind him. His mystery visitor, now revealed to be Count Nefaria, makes him an offer that he doesn’t refuse. Nefaria states that his first assignment will be to break two particular men out of prison.
Several days later, Bob Frank (a.k.a. The Whizzer) is reading about the prison break by a pair of supervillains and suspects this might lead to the Avengers' involvement. He has the television on and sees a live update about a bank robbery in process nearby, prompting him to try and spring into action as the Whizzer. However, his “daughter” Wanda (the Scarlet Witch) drops by at that moment and reminds him of his heart condition. She insists he takes it easy while she takes care of the bank heist.
The heist is being pulled off by Power Man along with the Living Laser and Whirlwind. Before Wanda arrives, several other Avengers make it to the scene. There is a brief scuffle in which the Avengers are briefly overpowered by the three villains who seem to have had their abilities amped up and manage to escape.
In an uptown townhouse, one equipped with a high-tech lab in its sub-basement, Count Nefaria convenes with a small group of scientists in his employ. This group includes Professor Sturdy, the former Nazi scientist who devised the enhancing ray that gave Wonder Man and Power Man their superhuman strength. They've been working on a mysterious Project N for the Count, and it involves the three villains, who don’t realize they’re being used. Over a video linkup, Nefaria dispatches the villains on a new assignment.
The next day, the Avengers are holding a meeting although their chairman Iron-Man is absent. Captain America is on the verge of making a motion to replace him in absentia when a car is suddenly thrown through the second-story windows, injuring the Wasp in the process.Appearing in "Slave of Zarrko, the Tomorrow Man"

Synopsis for "Slave of Zarrko, the Tomorrow Man"
Arriving in the future, the Tomorrow Man has Thor create havoc until the police of that time arrive to stop him. Thor uses his hammer to enthrall the officers, and orders them to take him and Zarrko to the ruling World Council. Zarrko orders them to give him directions to the Master Machine which runs the planet. When they refuse, Zarrko has Thor begin searching for the Master Machine. Thor leaves a note behind for the Council.
The Council activates a protector Octi-Robot, but Thor destroys it. A Councilman then gives them the location.
Flying to a lonely isle, Thor and Zarrko enter the Master Machine's chamber and are attacked by a C-Bomb (short for "Cell-Bomb" because it creates a prison to hold intruders). But Thor overcomes the increased gravity with the cell and destroys it. Zarrko takes possession of the Master Machine, making him the ruler of 23rd century Earth.
Having fulfilled his vow, Thor now turns on Zarrko, and they battle. Zarrko grabs control of the Master Machine and threatens to destroy the Earth if Thor does not halt. But before he can throw any switches, the Master Machine captures Zarrko in a ball of semi-energy, ending his threat.
An official scout ship arrives moments later and arrests Zarrko. Thor's note had asked the Council to let him handle Zarrko, and based on Thor's reputation they had decided to trust him.
Twirling his hammer, Thor creates a time warp and returns to the 20th century, while Loki and Odin watch from Asgard, and Loki muses that, sooner or later, he will defeat Thor forever.
