Synopsis for "Divide -- and Conquer!"

Fantastic Four (Earth-616) from Fantastic Four Annual Vol 1 5 001

Susan Richards suddenly faints, prompting the FF to look her over; however, the Thing leaves to go spend time with Alicia. Meanwhile, elsewhere Psycho-Man punishes one of his subordinates for delivering a component of his device to Alicia's home, gathering together his minions Shellshock, Ivan, and Live Wire to help recover the device.

At Alicia's home, the Thing tries to figure out the strange component that was delivered to her apartment. Soon they are attacked by Psycho-Man and his minions, who defeat Ben and take the component.

Meanwhile, the Black Panther leads an army to Panther Island, where they briefly get into a battle against the Inhumans, realizing that they have mutual allies and that Black Bolt fought the Inhumans because he sensed danger. Investigating, they come across Psycho-Man's base and have to fight off his defenses.

Back in New York, Reed announces to the FF that Sue is pregnant, and the group celebrates. Back on Panther Island, the Inhumans and the Black Panther find themselves overwhelmed and so they have Lockjaw bring the Fantastic Four to Psycho-Man's base to turn the tide. There they battle their way to Psycho-Man, who reveals to them that he comes from the Microverse and he intends to take over this world with a giant emoto-caster weapon. Being attacked by all the heroes, soon Psycho-Man is subdued; when the Black Panther questions him, they find that Psycho-Man is motionless. Upon closer inspection, what they thought was Psycho-Man was really a robot body piloted by a small being.

Stan Lee and Jack Kirby show the reader how they come up with their plots. A rather embellishing story full of mirth, the two end up getting beaten up by the Juggernaut and the Melter.

Synopsis for "The Peerless Power of the Silver Surfer"

Fantastic Four Annual Vol 1 5 - 46

Detailed Summary:
While flying with a flock of ducks, the Silver Surfer is surprised by a volley of gunfire around him. Thinking that he is being attacked, he quickly fires a cosmic blast at the hunters, causing them to run for cover. Realizing that they meant him no harm, the Surfer continues on his flight to New York City.

As he flies through the city, he senses many different emotions from the people below. Suddenly, he senses such intense anguish that it causes him to investigate from where it is emanating.

His search leads him to an abandoned laboratory, where he finds Quasimodo trapped in a machine. The computer begs the Surfer to use his power to make him human. Using his cosmic energy, the Surfer changes Quasimodo into a living being. The misshapen creature then goes on a rampage, attacking the Surfer and the city. The Surfer fights back and turns Quasimodo into a stone statue in order to stop his murderous riot.

Trivia

Divide and Conquer!
