Synopsis for ""On the Side of... the Evil Inhumans!""

Reprint of the 1st story from
Incredible Hulk #120

'

The military has initiated an air drop on the island of Costa Salvador, which has been taken over by the mad Inhuman exiled Maximus. However, they do not expect that the Hulk is on the island, or that Maximus has convinced the Jade Giant in protecting them from the invaders. The Hulk attacks the army sending them on the defensive. When the ground forces fail to stop the Hulk, aboard a command ship, General Ross demands that they drop an air-strike on the Hulk with new experimental missiles. In spite of Betty's protests, the order is complied and an air strike attempts to bombard the Hulk with bombs. However, when they fire the missiles the Hulk slams his fist into the ground causing enough vibration to cause the missiles to fly off course and land wildly, sending the military in retreat.

Watching this, the evil Inhumans argue over what to do with the Hulk after he has defeated the military, thinking that once the monster is done with the army that he will turn his aggression toward them. This causes the evil Inhumans to come to blows. However, Maximus manages to calm them down. Still able to convince the Hulk to do his bidding, Maximus orders the monster to destroy the command ship. Unaware that Betty is aboard, the Hulk complies with the command, however all aboard the ship manage to parachute to safety.

When Maximus tells Ross, Betty, and Glen Talbot that he intends to kill them the Hulk intervenes and tries to stop Maximus. Furious over the Hulk's concern for these humans, Maximus sets his giant mind controlling robot against the Hulk. In a pitched battle, the Hulk manages to destroy the robot by throwing the entire castle on it. With the robot's destruction, the Inhumans decide to flee, making their escape through a secret tunnel.

When the military regroups, they surround the Hulk and when Betty protests the killing of the Hulk, General Ross explains to her that they are only capturing the Hulk so that they might examine him. Hearing this angers the Hulk, but before either the Hulk or the military can make a move, Maximus and the Inhumans blast out of the ground in an escape ship that flies off into the sky.

In all the confusion, the Hulk manages to make his escape, jumping away from the military before they can capture him, with General Ross swearing after the Hulk that he will eventually capture the monster.

Reprint of the 1st story from
Daredevil #7

The Sub-Mariner, in order to deal with his restless people (and the goading of Warlord Krang), appears on the surface world and forces his way into the law office of Nelson and Murdock in order to seek the audience of a lawyer. Namor seeks to sue the surface world for its exploitation of the sea, however when Murdock explains how ridiculous the notion is, Namor goes on a rampage across the city.

Donning his brand new Daredevil costume, Matt goes after and battles Namor in order to convince him to turn himself over to the authorities to answer for the damage that he's done. Although Namor wins the fight, he admires Daredevil's courage in facing the monarch of the deep, and so Namor turns himself over to the authorities.

However, as the court case starts, Lady Dorma arrives to inform Namor that Warlord Krang has started an uprising in Atlantis, however, when Namor tries to leave the authorities to try to keep him from getting away. Murdock manages to talk Namor out of fighting and to follow the law, Namor decides to comply for 24 hours. However, when the wheels of justice are unable to turn fast enough for Namor, he breaks out of jail and in spite of Daredevil's attempt to stop him manages to escape into the sea in order to deal with the uprising in his native land.

Synopsis for "Calamity on the Campus!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Fantastic Four #35

Reed Richards has been invited back to his old alma mater, State University, to deliver a lecture and has brought the rest of the Fantastic Four along with him. After meeting with Dean Mencken, the four cross paths with Charles Xavier, who is at State University with his student Scott Summers secretly investigating reports that there may be mutants on campus. They stop as they pass by Professor Gilbert's laboratory and are shocked at his latest creation, a massive android fashioned after a dragon. Meanwhile, in far off Transylvania, Diablo breaks free from his imprisonment and teleports away, intent on getting revenge against the Fantastic Four for trapping him.

Back in the States, Gilbert has the Thing help him with the heavy lifting, and later, the pair bump into Peter Parker, who is visiting State to determine if he will attend after graduating high school. Neither the Torch or the Thing are aware that Parker is secretly their sometime ally Spider-Man. While the male members of the team play against the SU football team, Sue happens to partially recognize Diablo as he drives past in a car, but the man exits the vehicle before she can get up close enough to examine him. Diablo pays a visit to Professor Gilbert and offers him a means of using alchemy to bring his android to life. As they are conducting this experiment, the Thing wanders off having grown bored listening to Reed's speech. Spotting Diablo, Ben tries to attack but is rebuffed by the now active Dragon Man. Their battle takes them outside as the rest of the Fantastic Four join in. They soon realize that the Dragon Man is smitten by Sue, but they are knocked out by gas.

When they revive they learn that the Professor, Diablo and Dragon Man had retreated back to Dead Man's Lake. They track their foes there, and Diablo tries to escape by freezing the lake and attempting to skate across. Dragon Man turns on him and tries to chase after Diablo, but the ice is too weak to support the weight of the pair and shatters. Both Diablo and Dragon Man plunge into the waters below and are lost when the undertow sweeps them into some underwater caves. In the aftermath of the battle, Reed takes Sue down to the sweetheart tree on campus and finally proposes to her, and much to his delight she says yes!
