Fantastic Four Page #8

Human Torch.

Listen, you wanna

get outta here?

- Is this your boyfriend?

- Is that all you do?

- Bar tricks, stealing chicks.

- [ Sighs ]

[ All Gasping ]

What are you doin'?

You could've burned somebody.

You know, if I had your powers,

I'd be doin' somethin' with it...

not wastin' my time

doin' cheap tricks in bars.

Ben Come in

What is this?

Where's Reed?

Where do you think?

[ Chuckles ] With Sue.

I'll take it from here,

Leonard

Uh, yes, sir.

[ Grumbles ]

What do you want, Vic?

To help you.

The machine is ready.

- But Reed said it wouldn't be-

- He also said we'd avoid that storm in space.

But we all know

how that turned out.

He couldn't generate enough power

for the machine to reach critical mass.

Yet another mistake for Mr. Fantastic.

- And you can?

- Yes.

Tell me...

do you want to be Ben Grimm again?

[ Coughs ]

[ Laughing ]

Oh, thank you!

Vic?

Vic?

Vic!

Vic, it worked!

Vic?

Everyone thought I was safe

behind those shields

Oh, my God.

- The machine worked for me.

It can work for you too.

- Oh, it did.

It worked perfectly.

You planned this.

I've always wanted power.

Now I have an unlimited supply.

And no Thing to stand in your way.

Take a good look, Ben.

This is what a man looks like

who embraces his destiny.

One down, three to go

Vic?

Right on cue.

Ben?

- What did you do?

- Exactly what I said I would.

I built a better, stronger being...

and outsmarted

the great Reed Richards.

If you've exposed yourself to the storm,

you're endangering your life.

- You need help.

- You always know best.

[ Sighs ]

So tell me

what happens

when you super-heat rubber?

[ Screams, Groans ]

[ Screaming ]

Mr Von Doom Are you okay?

Never better, Jimmy.

- [ Onlookers Gasping ]

- [ Groans ]

Why the long face?

Let's talk in my office.

Ben! Ben!

- Sue!

- Johnny! The machine worked!

Give me a hand!

- Come on.

- Ben!

Get his arm.

[ All Grunting ]

You all right, Ben?

Put him on the step.

What happened, big guy?

I leave you for five minutes-

The machine.

Vic used it on himself.

He was affected

by the cloud like us.

- Where's Reed?

- Vic must have taken him.

Dr. Richards,

allow me to begin your lesson-

Chemistry 101

What happens to rubber

when it's super-cooled?

[ Shivering, Groaning ]

Hmm? [ Chuckles ] Give up?

[ Crackling ]

That's not like you, Reed.

- [ Snapping ]

- [ Groaning Louder]

After all, we're both doctors.

Painful?

You don't know

the meaning of the word.

Just a little something

from our defense contracts.

Let's check in on the rest

of the family, shall we?

Oh, no.

- We gotta get out ofhere

- I got an idea.

- Don't even think about it.

- Never do.

What are you doing?

Johnny, no!

Come on! Come on, come on!

Flame on!

Whoo-hoo!

- We have to help Reed.

- It's too dangerous for you now.

You have to stay here.

What did I do?

Whoa!

Whoa!

Come on! Think!

[ Yells ]

[ Explosions ]

Two down, two to go.

[ Hissing ]

- [ Wheezes ] Sue.

- Shh.

What has he done to you?

- How romantic.

- [ Gasps ]

Victor, please.

Call me Doom.

The machine works.

It worked on Ben It can work on you

We can turn you back

Do you really think fate turned us into gods

so we could refuse these gifts?

Victor, you always thought

you were a god. Now back off.

Susan, let's not fight.

No, let's.

[ Grunts ]

Susan, you're fired!

[ Groans ]

To think I was about

to share my life with you.

[ Exhales ]

Marco.

Polo

Marc-

[ Groaning ]

[ Choking ]

[ Moaning ]

Did you say good-bye

to your brotherJohnny?

It's time to end this

No, Vic It's clobberin'time!

Damn, I been waitin' to do that.

Susie You okay?

Victor ain't that bad, huh? Hmph.

He's just a little

larger than life, right?

Maybe next time

you'll listen to me before-

Ben!

[ Officer On Bullhorn ]

This is the police!

Put your hands up

and step down from the vehicle!

[ Officer ]

Take him out!

Ladies, I'm gonna need

to borrow your car.

- The transmission sticks.

- Not gonna be a problem!

[ Grumbles ]

[ Grunting ]

[ Chuckling ]

Good-bye, Ben.

I can't let you do that

Reed?

[ Laughs ]

I'll be right with you.

Hello, Susan.

You three are pathetic.

- You missed me.

- [ Grumbles ]

Had a little relapse, huh?

Welcome back.

This is gonna be fun.

[ Groans ]

[ Screaming, Shouting ]

[ Grunts ]

I can't hold it!

Johnny! Supernova!

- I thought we agreed that was bad!

- Now!

- Ben!

- Gotcha!

Sue! Think you can contain it?

Flame on, kid.

[ Yells ]

[ Groans ]

[ Whispering ]

Is that the best you can do? A little heat?

Time for your lesson- Chem 101

What happens when you

rapidly cool hot metal?

Ben!

Whoa.

You done good, kid.

Come on.

Sue, are you okay?

Yeah.

[ Onlookers Chattering, Cheering ]

[ Whistling, Cheering Continues ]

Man, I love this job.

[ Applause, Cheering Continues ]

Job, huh?

Well, we do have the suits.

##[ R&B:
Group Singing ]

- Ladies, your drinks.

- I don't think we need another.

- Just one more.

- Thank you so much.

Cheers.

Oh. Oh! I need names and shots.

Bartender!

Custom-made-

Look, I've been crunching

the numbers on the machine

and if I could rework the power-

Forget about it, egghead.

I'm good as is.

- Better than good, baby.

- [ Chuckles ]

[ Gasps ]

You just need to work on your touch.

Mmm, I like the sound of that.

[ Ben, Alicia Laughing ]

- Can I talk to you for a second?

- Sure.

[ Whispers ]

Thanks.

I found a broken gasket

from space.

A gasket? Reed, come on.

We're at a party.

And if one of us were to wear it-

No more thinking.

No more variables.

[ Laughs ]
