[MUSIC]

>> What's that, a blazing comet?

>> No, that's the rallying signal of the Fantastic Four.

[MUSIC]

>> Boy, not bad.

That gizmo can clobber almost as good as me.

[MUSIC]

The Fantastic Four.

Now I can't wait to see him finish wrecking the building, but I can give him a hand.

[MUSIC]

Gotta go.

[MUSIC]

I wonder what's the wall-fired import?

[MUSIC]

And the winner is the Torchster driven by Johnny Storm.

[MUSIC]

Presenting the trophy and a kiss is our Miss Dragster Ed Little Mitzi Miner.

[MUSIC]

>> Uh-oh, something's up in headquarters.

Sorry, I've gotta go now.

Torchon!

[MUSIC]

Uh-oh, Torchon!

[MUSIC]

I almost forgot my trophy.

Thanks.

Torchon again.

[MUSIC]

It's amazing, Mr. Richards.

You say you expect the third explosion at any second.

>> Yes, Professor.

Three, two, one, there it goes.

[MUSIC]

>> Congratulations.

>> Thank you, sir.

Uh-oh, a fantastic player.

I have to leave at once.

Goodbye, Professor.

>> Goodbye, Mr. Richards.

What a remarkable man.

>> They should be arriving any moment now, Commissioner.

>> What's up, sis?

>> Wait for the others.

>> Okay, you're coming free.

>> I'd say I'm not the last one here.

Where's Ben?

>> I'm not as fast as you guys, but I'm more direct.

What's the problem?

>> I want you to meet Police Commissioner Robbins.

He has some very important news.

>> Twenty minutes ago at International Airport,

the infamous Dr. Doom arrived in this country.

When Airport Police attempted to arrest the dreaded international criminal,

Dr. Doom claimed diplomatic immunity as the reigning monarch

of the principality of Latveria.

And as of now, the police do not know his whereabouts.

>> Doom's main purpose in life is to destroy the Fantastic Four,

and me especially.

[ Music ]

>> Headquarters, Fantastic Four.

>> Read. Would you believe it?

It's Dr. Doom on the phone.

>> Ben, put him on the sports box.

>> Without pleasure.

>> Okay, tin face, go ahead.

>> Good evening, Richards.

What's on your evil mind?

>> Hold your insulting tongue and mark my words well.

I have flooded my revenge on you.

Now I shall have it.

This farewell to your friends.

You have just a few hours to live.

Goodbye for now.

[ Music ]

>> Why did Dr. Doom threaten just you, Mr. Richards?

Dr. Doom hates us all, but in his warped mind he has a personal score

to settle with me.

It was back in my college days

when I met a brilliant young student named Victor Von Doom.

Hello, my name's Reed Richards.

Could you direct me to the science lab?

>> It's the ID covered building over there.

>> Hey, wait.

>> Wow.

>> He gives me the creeps.

[ Music ]

>> Come in.

>> Hey, aren't you Reed Richards?

>> Yeah, come in.

>> I hear you're looking for a roomie.

I'm Ben Grimm.

I hear you're the biggest brain on campus.

>> Not me.

But you're Ben Grimm, the touchdown king.

Well, that's how Ben and I met.

But to go on about Victor Von Doom, he got his private room.

And in it, he used to carry on bizarre and dangerous experiments.

[ Music ]

>> Hello? Anybody home?

[ Music ]

>> Wow. Look at that equipment.

I wonder what Von Doom is working on.

What's this?

[ Music ]

>> What are you doing in my room, Richards?

Give me those papers.

>> I just came by to say hello.

But you better recheck those equations.

You're off a few decibels.

And that means make trouble if you use this material.

>> I'll have to go ahead with my experiment right now.

Lower the dome.

[ Music ]

>> Are you ready, downstairs?

>> All set.

>> My moment of triumph is at hand.

Don't panic.

[ Music ]

>> Von Doom, are you awake?

>> Yes, but what do you want?

>> You fool.

It's a miracle that you didn't kill Carstairs as well as yourself.

So before you cause greater harm,

I am expelling you from the university.

>> Expelling me?

Get out of here.

There's nothing more your stupid school can teach me anyhow.

>> This is just a minor disappointment.

I shall overcome it.

[ Music ]

>> The failure of Von Doom's experiment

and his expulsion from the university did not end his tragedy.

For a few days later, his bandages were removed.

>> We're almost done.

There.

>> How horrible, that face.

[ Music ]

>> What have I done to myself?

My face is hideous.

This is all Reed Richard's fault.

He made me hurry my experiment.

Now I must hide my face from all mankind, but he will pay.

Oh, how he will pay.

>> So after his face was ruined, he just seemed to disappear.

But when did Victor Von Doom become the infamous Doctor Doom?

Well, like I said, he just disappeared.

But Ben and I went on to complete our college days at State U.

But the ink was hardly dry on our diplomas when Pearl Harbor changed all

of our plans and separated us for a time.

When I next heard of Ben, it was through his fame as the Grim Reaper.

A marine fighter race over Okinawa and Guadalcanal.

Ben was the hero of every American who could read a newspaper.

[ Music ]

>> Maybe I made all the headlines,

but you were doing quite a job yourself.

You didn't get much publicity because you were behind the lines working

with the underground for the OSS.

>> After the war, I had two major goals.

One was to win the girl I loved and the other was to be the first

to reach the stars.

I'd spent a fortune developing my own design for a spaceship.

But it's all useless without a perfect pilot.

Wait a minute, Ben Grim, come on.

Let's get over to Grim Aircraft Company right away.

You've got to fly the starship.

You're the only pilot who can do it.

Sue is giving up her studies to go along as data recorder.

And her brother Johnny will be with me as general crew member.

>> You just got yourself a pilot.

When do we leave?

>> As soon as I complete a few more details.

The details were soon done and the starship started to avoid it.

>> This thing really performs.

Flies like a bird.

We're almost at terminal velocity.

>> Freeze, I'm getting different colored bands on my forward scope.

[ Music ]

>> I'm getting them too.

I hope it's not what I think it is.

Anything the pilot ought to know?

Yes, Ben, I think we're going to hit a cosmic storm.

Get ready for a rough ride.

>> It's coming up fast.

Give us a countdown.

>> Get set.

Five, four, three, two, one.

[ Sound of explosion ]

>> What's that?

Sounds like hail.

>> That's the cosmic particles bombarding the ship.

I think they're coming right through.

The rays are penetrating our bodies.

How does everyone feel?

>> I feel like I'm made out of glass.

Like I'm not here.

[ Sound of explosion ]

>> Golly, Reed, I seem to have a high fever like I'm on fire.

[ Sound of explosion ]

>> Green, guns.

I seem to wait twice as much.

I can't hardly hold her.

Better switch to autopilot and reentry system.

It's getting me too.

I'm so dizzy, switch her over, Ben.

Here goes if I can make it.

[ Sound of explosion ]

[ Music ]

[ Sound of explosion ]

>> Hurry, everybody.

Get away from the ship.

[ Music ]

[ Sound of explosion ]

>> Well, there she goes.

We're lucky to be alive.

>> Oh, Reed, we failed.

And after all your work,

look at your beautiful ship.

>> Don't worry about that.

I'm more concerned with how the cosmic rays have affected us.

>> Well, maybe they won't.

Reed, Ben, look at Susan.

What's the matter with me?

You're fading away.

>> I can hardly see you.

[ Sound of explosion ]

>> Hey, I'm coming back.

>> The rays altered her atomic structure.

She can become invisible.

>> Wait.

I feel that heaviness coming on again.

It's pulling me down.

Something awful is happening to me.

I can't stand it.

>> Look, his clothes are bursting.

What is he turning into?

>> I've turned into some kind of thing.

No one will ever want to be near me.

>> No, Ben, wait.

Wait.

We're all in this together.

>> Hey, you made out of rubber?

>> I seem to be.

Ben, something's happening to all of us.

We got to stick together.

>> Hey, Reed, Ben, I'm getting so hot my helmet caught on fire.

>> Let's go, Ben.

He's burning up.

>> With all this heat, I'm as light as a feather,

and I feel fine.

I can fly.

I can fly.

Wow.

Every one of us came through the cosmic rays differently.

>> It's unbelievable.

We four have been invented with the powers of the universe.

More power than any other four people on Earth.

With this power properly controlled and applied,

we four could aid and do good for all mankind.

And so to fight tyranny, I put out the hand of Mr. Fantastic.

>> And against crime, the human torch.

>> Play more.

>> Against evil, the invisible girl.

>> And against greed and all the rest, the thing.

>> And so it will be, the Fantastic Four, for the good of man.

>> I'll never forget that day, the adventures we had and the ones we will have.

>> There's still Dr. Doom.

What of him?

>> What of Dr. Doom, my dear lady?

>> You're even more stupid than I thought, Victor,

to come right into the headquarters of the Fantastic Four.

>> I'll take him.

>> This little toy is just a taste of my powers.

As I stood outside your door, I heard quite a bit of your story.

If you wish, I'll add mine to clear up the mystery of Victor von Doom's transition

into the infamous Dr. Doom.

After my disfigurement at school, I fled from all mankind,

making my way to the remoteness of the high Tibetan mountains.

There I sought the forbidden secrets of the Himalayan wise men's black magic.

I had just about reached the end of my endurance and given up hope of finding them.

It after seemed certain when lo, they found me.

The next thing I knew was when I awakened in their cave, they were practicing magic.

I learned all they wanted to know.

Then one day, they called me Master, and then it began.

Using the mouth of a gigantic idol as a blast furnace,

my servants began to forge what was to become the most dreaded costume

on the face of the earth.

The last thing to fit was the mask.

When it conformed to my twisted features and comfort, it was put on my face.

And it fit!

The mask was on. Victor von Doom was no more.

Born as that moment was, Dr. Doom.

Soon I was ruler of a kingdom, stronger, more powerful than any living monarch.

I vowed to become the master of all mankind.

And now I seek revenge on the one who forced me to hide behind this mask.

You read, Richard.

You forget one thing.

My ability to attack is faster than the cobra.

Don't move, you fools.

Within my gauntlet is concealed a most effective weapon.

Behold!

Prevent it last, Richard.

Why are you smiling?

What are you waiting for, Sue?

Of course. I didn't think.

Draft the luck, your famous force field.

And now, tinhead, it's clobbering time!

You three go after him. He can't get far.

I'll go seal up the building.

Stop it. He's headed for the mental room.

We felt it too strong.

I can't get my fingers in the crack.

Hurry! He's starting the engine.

Let me try to burn through, Ben.

Put him on!

What a triumph!

Going home to my own country in the fantastic force, Home Missiles.

I can't dent it, even with my full power.

He's leaving. He's taking off.

Oh, he's gone. What will Reed say?

Not too much.

It so happened that I was working on the guidance system this morning.

And I took out the gyro for repair.

He won't be able to control the ship.

It's almost certain that he'll crash within minutes.

Quick, to the window.

I estimate about now.

That's the end of Dr. Doom.

I only wish we could be certain of that, Commissioner.

Oh, yes. I'll bet you we won't see him again until doomsday.

Get it? Dr. Doom. Doomsday.

Yeah, Ben. We get it.

Oh, brother!
