Crystal must return to Inhumans to seek permission to permanently join the FF and she summons Lockjaw to transport her. Unfortunately, the Alpha Primitives, an Inhuman drone race, tag along and attack. The FF are unable to stop them and they leave with Crystal. Crystal is taken to Maximus who has seized the throne, captured her family, and plans to use a hypno-gun to enslave the human race. The FF travel to the great refuge, but are defeated by the robot Zorr. |

Black Bolt and his royal family finally escape Maximus' prison, and battle through the Alpha Primitives to get to Maximus. The FF also escape their prison and face Zorr again, but this time they defeat him. Crystal destroys Maximus' hypno-gun and Black Bolt restores order. |

The Fantastic Four find themselves trapped in Latveria and their powers have somehow been neutralized by Dr. Doom. Doom and his head scientist Hauptmann put their latest robotic construction to the test and it performs beyond expectations. The FF are drugged and are given hypnotic suggestions that bar them from using their powers. Doom's new robots are unleashed upon an unsuspecting village and the FF! |

The Fantastic Four, with Sue at their side, storm Doom's castle. The castle's defenses keep Reed, Ben, and Johnny busy, while Sue and Crystal are whisked away to have dinner with Dr. Doom. Hauptmann tries to destroy Reed, Ben, and Johnny in Doom's art gallery, which prompts Doom to destroy his minion. Doom tires of this "game" and allows the FF to safely leave his country. |

The Fantastic Four return home and begin a search for a home in which to raise their new son in privacy and away from their super villains. They check out a mysterious and eerie dwelling.
