Who In The World Is The Invincible Man? * 1st Gert Hauptmann appearance
Reed Richards is subjected to horrifying nightmares thanks to the machinations of Cynthian Associates. With the aid of components from Psycho-Man's armor and the work of Professor Gert Hauptmann, Richards has been strapped into a machine that is causing these nightmares.
Meanwhile, in Hollywood, Sue Richards returns to her apartment with Franklin and Agatha and are pleasantly surprised to find both Ben and Johnny waiting for them inside. It is a happy reunion until Sue voices her concern over Reed, whom she has been unable to contact since he began working for Cynthian Associates. As Ben tries in vein to call Reed himself, none of the former members of the Fantastic Four aware that they are being watched by someone wearing the costume of their old foe the Invincible Man. Deciding to go out for dinner together, they leave Franklin in the care of Miss Harkness and go out on the own. After bumping into a well known western star, the Thing is insulted when he is confused as a costumed contestant for a popular game show.
Suddenly, the Invincible Man appears and attack them with more mental projections. Sue begins to see Franklin in danger, Johnny is filled with self doubt, while the Thing goes into an uncontrollable rage. This leaves them open to their mystery attacker who easily incapacitates them and takes them prisoner, the entire spectacle occurring with a single patron in the restaurant being aware of what happened.
