GALACTUS FACES THE MALICE OF THE INVINCIBLE WOMAN! The Fantastic Four have voyaged into new and unknown parts of the universe to save Galactus - but found only ruin at the hands of the Invincible Woman. And now, lost on an alien world, they must face her...alone. But even with all their powers combined, it may not - cannot - stand against her malice. Meanwhile, on Earth, things aren't going much better - as, without the Fantastic Four to defend it, our world is viewed with envious eyes by intellects vast, cool and unsympathetic... But there may be just one final hope that could save them...or doom them all.

Sue, Reed, Johnny, and Ben are stunned to see Galactus defeated, presumably dead, and the alternate version of Sue, the Invincible Woman, before them, attacking the electricity in their neurons, causing them suffering. But Sue manages to counter this.
Then, the Invincible Woman creates an army of versions of herself by manipulating particles and altering the light spectrum to keep them distracted while she and Sue talk.

But in seconds, Johnny, Ben, and Reed rescue Sue before the lobotomy and escape. The problem is that the Invinci more+ Like • Comment -
