THE FRIGHTFUL FOUR! Reed Richards and Sue Storm publicly announce their engagement to the press. As they are making their announcement, a package is delivered from the Yancy Street Gang. The Thing opens it, fearing it's the worst and discovers that it's bomb of some kind. However, instead of a harmful explosion, the bomb was a gag filled with flowers. Elsewhere, Paste-Pot Pete meets with the Sandman and the Wizard to form a new group to go after their mutual foe, the Human Torch. Pete and Sandman recount how they broke out of prison, stole a plane, and saved the Wizard from floating out in space following his last battle with the Human Torch. The Wizard then tells them that he has heard a potential fourth member to their group, a strange woman who can control her hair that lives on an island out in the Mediterranean Sea and has no memory of her past.
