Synopsis for "Less Than Monster, More than Man!"

Reprint of the 2nd story from
Tales to Astonish #83

Having saved Betty from Boomerang and taking her to safety, the Hulk once more becomes the subject of a Gamma Base manhunt, as General Ross believes that Betty has been kidnapped by the Hulk. Learning of this the Secret Empire again dispatches Boomerang to try and capture the Orion Missile.

As the military hounds the Hulk, trying to get him to lead them to Betty, Boomerang attacks Gamma Base hoping to claim the missile. While at the headquarters of the Secret Empire during a meeting, Number Two suggests that they punish the Boomerang with a swift death for his failure. Number Nine objects and the rest of the Secret Empire tell him this is the final straw, as he is under suspicion because of the death of Number Five. Number Two sentences him to death for treason, but Number Nine makes his move launching a stun grenade and effectively destroys all of the Secret Empire aside from Number One.

General Ross and Rick Jones manage to track the Hulk back to where he is keeping Betty. Reunited with his daughter, Ross is told the truth, that the Hulk had saved her. However, the frustrated Hulk, tired of being hounded, jumps away from the humans. This story is continued next issue...

Synopsis for "Defeated by Doctor Doom!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Fantastic Four #17
Fantastic Four Vol 1 17 Title

Returning to the Baxter Building following their adventure in the realm of Sub-Atomica, [Continuity 1] the Fantastic Four bid farewell to their ally Ant-Man. Now wishing to the rest for a moment, Reed sends out the team to hunt for Doctor Doom after he managed to escape from them. However, each individual search leads to disaster and the Fantastic Four give up for the time being. Deciding to go out on the town, they find the main throughway in the Baxter Building to be crowded and are offered a lift in the service elevator by a man who appears to be the janitor. However this turns out to be Doctor Doom in disguise, and he manages to tag each of the Fantastic Four with a tracking device when he shakes their hands. These devices allow Doom's android creations to follow after the Fantastic Four, interrupting Johnny and the Thing's dates, one of Sue's photo shoots, and a lecture that Reed was attending. Rushing back to their headquarters, none of the FF can shake their pursuers. It's not until Reed can analyze the group does he finds Doom's tracking devices. Upon removing the devices, their android pursers fade to nothingness.

Alicia Masters, Doctor Doom's Armor, Grappler Ray, Victor von Doom (Earth-616) from Fantastic Four Vol 1 17

Doom gloats that the first phase of his plan, humiliating his hated enemies, was a great success and begins the next part of his plan. Tracking down Alicia Masters, Doom uses a device to pull her aboard his massive floating laboratory concealed in the sky. When the news reaches the Fantastic Four, Doom sends them a holographic warning to cease any attempts at stopping him in order to keep Alicia safe. When Doom later threatens the United States government, they decline to meet his demands of complete surrender. In response, Doom activates a device that causes America's missile defenses to stop functioning. This course of action attracts the attention of the Russian government.[Continuity 2] After meeting with a member of the State Department, Mister Fantastic begins formulating a plan on how to defeat Doctor Doom. After scanning Doom's ship, Reed learns that it is protected by a powerful force field that is keyed in to their DNA and would destroy any member of the Fantastic Four on contact.

However Reed devises a solution: since the force field is set to destroy Ben in his Thing form, he develops a temporary cure for Ben that changes him back into human form. Ben is then launched in a transparent craft at Doom's fortress. Ben holds off his transformation back into the Thing long enough to breach the barrier unharmed and smash into the ship. After the force field is destroyed the rest of the FF join Ben in the attack. While the male members of the team provide a distraction for Doom, Sue manages to find Alicia and hides her and takes her place. When the Doctor tries to claim his hostage, he is taken off guard by Sue's powers of invisibility. Overpowered by his foes, Doom opens an escape hatch and leaps out of his ship,[Continuity 3] falling to his seeming demise. With Doom defeated, the Fantastic Four recover Alicia who is happily reunited with the Thing.[Continuity 4]
