Synopsis for "East of Eden: Part Two"
In the East Wing of Rykers Island, the Thing finds himself up against She-Thing, who is the prisoner who runs the whole cell block. He is knocked off his feet because unlike the other super-villains who are imprisoned here, the She-Thing's strength isn't affected by the power dampeners. To show her strength, she pops Ben's shoulder out of the join. The Thing is shocked to find her in prison, but Sharon points out that he never bothered looking her up over the years to see if she was alive or dead. When he tells her "the life" kept him busy, she calls him out for being with Alicia Masters instead of looking in on her. She is sure it's because she's not quite the attractive woman she used to be back when she was Ms. Marvel. However, she doesn't hold any grudges, as she says that Wyatt Wingfoot also got distracted and left her alone as well. She explains that she got back into the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation, but it was run by shadier hands by this time. She made a killing selling Mutuant Growth Hormone until she was caught and apprehended by Red Wolf. That's how she ended up at Rykers. She then pops his arm back into its socket. She then bats him aside, telling him that because she is top dog he will be seeing lots of her. When Ben asks who put her up to this task, she tells him she doesn't know.
Meanwhile, at New Eden, Mister Fantastic is hard at work when his assistant, Cully Moore, tells him that there are super-villains attacking Chicago. Trying to contact his wife, he learns that the Invisible Woman left the compound hours earlier. At a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. hangar, two bored S.H.I.E.L.D. agents are suddenly knocked out by the Invisible Woman who steals back one of the Fantastic Four's ship so she can fly it to Latveria and recover her daughter. While at the Meatpacking District in Manhattan, Johnny Storm is still partying his life away. He is found by Wyatt Wingfoot who tries to talk some sense into him. However, Johnny refuses to listen to Wyatt, telling him that the old Johnny Storm died when he lost his powers and leaves Wyatt to continue partying.
In downtown Chicago, Mister Fantastic arrives to see the Wizard with yet another new incarnation of the Frightful Four -- this one consisting of the female members of the Salem's Seven -- are still on the rampage. Even though he is by himself, he goes into battle but is soon over powered. However, when all appears to be lost, the Frightful Four are blasted aside by the Scarlet Witch who has answered Reed's call for mystical assistance.
