So what's the prognosis?
Your tissue, your organs, your entire biophysical structure is changing.
Every system is still functioning somehow.
And it's changing into?
I don't really know.
Some kind of organic-metallic alloy...
stronger than titanium or carbon steel, harder than diamonds.
Like the shields Reed said would protect us.
How long?
At this rate, the infection could be complete in two, maybe three weeks.
What do you mean complete?
I wish I could tell you.
I can't pretend to know what we're dealing with here.
I'll have to notify the CDC.
- What? - Center for Disease Control.
I know what it is.
If this thing is contagious, we may have a big problem on our hands.
We're talking about an epidemic here.
Look at me.
I have a life.
I'm the face of a billion-dollar company.
We need to keep this confidential.
Victor, this disease is progressive, degenerative. I have to notify someone...
That's terrible news.
But I think I'll get a second opinion.
Our uniforms were exposed to the storm, like us.
So they can transform like us.
Becoming invisible, changing size on demand or remaining impervious to flame.
You guys look like an '80s rock band.
You know, Ben, this material stretches.
I'm sure I can figure out a way to make it fit.
I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that.
I love these costumes. They're missing something, though. Needs, like, spice.
They're not costumes.
You can't use your powers in public, Johnny.
- You guys are worse than NASA. - You could burn somebody!
Maybe it's missing a utility belt.
Here you go, there's your change.
Can I help you, buddy?
- Oh, my. - It's Sue Storm, it's the Invisible Woman!
Sue Storm, it is you. Listen, my kid loves you!
I can't believe I'm doing this again.
Reed, we really can't go outside anymore.
We are on the cover of every publication from People...
All right, I'm here, let's make this quick. I got a lot of places to go today.
Oh, wait. I don't go anywhere.
Johnny, it's imperative that we stay inside for the foreseeable future.
I know, but when you said that last time, my brain heard "a week."
Johnny, it's too dangerous for you to be in public.
You've been saying that for years.
What worries me is that our powers are evolving.
I know!
I am so close to flying, guys, I can taste it.
- You can't fly. - Yet.
Johnny, can you put that napkin out?
Jesus.
So what's going on, Reed? How're you going to cure us?
I'm going to build a machine to recreate the storm.
The cosmic rays will travel from this generator to this chamber.
What, no pop-ups?
- Lf I can reverse the wave signal... - It'll return us back to normal.
Right. But what are the risks?
Even a small miscalculation could increase our symptoms exponentially...
or perhaps even kill us.
Now, dying. That's bad, right?
I say we just let sleeping dogs lie, guys.
So how long till this contraption's up and running?
- I don't know, it's hard to say. - How long, Reed?
- I don't know. - You don't know?
- You don't want this to get worse. - Worse than that?
Guys, look, we're gonna be stuck here for a while, so let's just try and get along.
- You could knock! - Sorry!
Johnny!
More bad news for Von Doom Industries today as Ned Cecil announced...
that his group of investors would seek to gain control...
of Victor Von Doom 's numerous technology companies.
Earlier, the IPO was pulled from the market...
after the steady decline of its projected opening price.
Von Doom Industries was never able to overcome the negative publicity...
Interesting.
Hello?
Victor?
What's with these lights, huh?
About the IPO, no hard feelings, right?
Nothing personal.
You know, you could always move back to Latveria.
Start fresh.
Maybe that's where you belong, the old country.
Nothing personal, Ned.
But I'm not going anywhere.
...assassinated the competition everywhere this season.
Truly unbelievable. The crowd is going nuts here at the arena.
I tell you, if there's anybody out there who can do what these guys do...
we dare you to come on down here. Look at this spread-eagle...
no arm, back of the seat. Motorbike grab, landed...
I got to get out of here.
Hey, pretty boy, let's see what you got.
Where's your hot sister and the monster?
Let's go!
All right.
I want you all to make a lot of noise now for a very special guest.
Mr. Johnny Storm from The Fantastic Four!
Look at that lift!
That was fantastic!
But, Johnny, come on. That's old school.
Show us something new.
Something new.
You got it.
Come on, Johnny, come on!
Is he flying?
Wait, no!
That's dangerous.
I'm okay, I'm all right, I'm good.
He's okay! He's all right!
Johnny Storm, ladies and gentlemen!
I have to give you props, Johnny! You were on fire!
- He didn't. - Oh, yes, he did.
- Flame Boy never listens. - What did he do to his uniform?
Johnny, I've gotta ask you about this outfit.
Yeah, it's sort of Armani meets astronaut.
So what are your superhero names?
They call me The Human Torch. Ladies call me Torch.
What about the rest of the team?
- That's the Invisible Girl. - Girl?
What about your leader, Reed Richards? I hear you call him Mr. Fantastic.
- Could've been worse. - I guess.
Is it true what they say about him that he can expand any part of his anatomy?
Well, I've always found him to be a little limp.
What is that? What do you call that thing?
That's it. The Thing.
Yeah, you think this is bad, you should have seen him before.
Okay. Now I'm gonna go kill him.
There he is.
- Johnny! - Can we talk about this later, guys?
- No. We can't talk about this later. - We can do this at home.
- What are you thinking? - Where's my ride?
You think that's funny, Pebbles?
- Johnny! - What?
You gave us names? You don't think.
So now you're the face of The Fantastic Four?
A face that's about to be broken!
Look, this isn't permanent, Johnny.
We need to be careful until we're normal again.
What if I don't wanna be normal? I didn't turn into a monster!
Ben!
Did you just...
Johnny, stop it.
- That's it, Tinkerbell! - No, Ben.
You wanna fly? Then fly!
Wait a minute, guys! Ben, don't do this!
Let's see if we can get blood from a stone.
Let's see. Bring it, burnout!
You two need a time-out!
Talk to blockhead, he started it.
I don't care. Damn it, Johnny.
Ben, wait!
What?
You need to control yourself and think before you act.
Yeah, but see, that's your problem. You always think, you never act.
What if we got these powers for a reason? What if it's like some higher calling?
A higher calling? Like getting girls and making money?
Is there any higher?
You know what, Reed? This is who we are.
Accept it.
Or better yet, enjoy it.
Wait, Ben, slow down. He didn't mean it.
You know Johnny. He's always been a hothead.
It ain't him. It's them!
I can't live like this.
Just give Reed a little more time. You know how he works.
Analyzing every little step before he takes one.
- It's easy for you to be patient. - No, it's not!
I thought I was done waiting for Reed, but I...
- We're all in this together, Ben. - Together?
Susie, look at me. You got no idea what I'd...
What I'd give to be invisible.
Thank you, gentlemen.
I'm just gonna pick up a few things...
for some friends.
Perfect.
That's not funny.
This is Ben Grimm here.
The first mook from Brooklyn to go into outer space.
So pay him some respect.
Just give me the usual and I'm out.
All right.
- Make it a double. - Make it a triple.
- Put it on my tab, Ernie. - All right, Alicia.
Appreciate it.
No problem.
It's okay, Ben.
If there's a God, he hates me.
She is not so into hate.
If you could see me, you wouldn't be saying that.
Then let me see you.
Can I?
- Careful. - It's okay.
So sad.
You know, being different isn't always a bad thing.
Trust me. This ain't one of them times.
Not if you don't want it to be.
- All right, Ernie, I'm out of here. - I'll take you.
See you later, Benny.
I'm Alicia, by the way.
Thanks, Ernie.
Reed got what he wanted.
And everything he wanted...
he took from me.
Now it's time to take it back.
But first, I need to get rid of his bodyguard.
This seat taken?
What are you doing here?
I was worried about you.
You were worried about me? That's sweet.
Come on. Let me buy you something to eat.
Looks like you could use the company.
Reed?
- I was just resting my eyes. - So I see.
The new readouts look very promising.
Not promising enough.
When are the next tests?
I've run out of plans.
So I was thinking maybe...
There's always me.
No. It's too soon.
- Reed? - I should get back to work.
- You need a break. - Sue, not now, please.
Come on. Let's go.
Remember our first date here?
God, I was nervous.
You know, I bribed the projectionist $10 to keep the place open late.
Really? I gave him $20.
- No. - Yeah.
- No way. - Yeah.
I didn't want that night to end.
You were right. It wasn't complicated.
I just wasn't ready to...
You always talked about how you liked the kind of man...
who would approach you, speak his mind.
One who wasn't afraid to tell you exactly what he wanted.
I did.
But I wanted you to be that man.
Why didn't you say something?
Reed, I'm saying it now.
Excuse me.
I know it's not easy.
Life hasn't changed that much for Reed, Sue, or Johnny.
At least they can still go out in public. But for you...
If you're trying to cheer me up, you're doing a hell of a job.
You know what I mean, Scarface?
I'm just saying I know what it's like to lose something that you love...
to see it slip away and know it's never coming back.
Look.
Reed is gonna fix me up, okay?
For your sake I hope you're right.
Look, he's a brilliant man.
We should all trust that he's working as hard as he can.
You're his best friend.
So what possible reason could he have for taking his time?
I mean, other than spending more time with Sue.
- Wow, I had no idea. - It's true.
Yeah.
I have that effect on people.
Ben.
So you remember my name now, do you?
Do you also remember what you swore to do...
with every breath in your body?
We're working as hard as we can.
Yeah. I can tell.
- Victor was right. - Victor?
Ben, I don't know if this thing will change us back or make us worse.
I need you to be patient for a little while longer.
Reed, look at me!
I am looking. That's why I can't make a mistake.
I've gotta get it right and it's not right yet! We need to test it!
I spent my whole life protecting you, and for what?
So you can play Twister with your girlfriend...
while I'm the freak of the week?
Ben, stop it!
- You stay out of this, Susie! - Stop it, or I will.
Get off me, rubber boy!
You guys, quit it.
Calm down!
Good thing you're flexible enough to watch your own back.
'Cause I ain't doing it no more.
You two are on your own.
Look what the marketing guys gave me.
Look, check it out, listen. You're gonna love this.
It's clobbering time!
It's catchy, right?
Isn't that great?
That was the prototype.
- Johnny, have you seen Ben? - Yeah, Sunshine just left.
Look, Sue, I'm sorry. I can't stand this freak show.
- I gotta get back to the real world. - You're calling that the real world?
Sue, stop. You're not Mom. Don't talk to me like I'm a little boy, okay?
Maybe I would if you stopped acting like one.
Do you even hear yourself? Who do you think you are?
Why is everyone on my ass? If you guys are jealous, that's fine.
I didn't expect it to come from you, though.
You really think those people out there care about you?
You're just a fad to them, Johnny!
Let's try something new. You live your life, I'll live mine.
Sound good?
And just for the record, they love me!
Oh, God. Reed.
Oh, my God, Reed. What did you do?
- I can make it work. - No!
I need more power to control the storm.
More power?
- You need a doctor. Come with me. - Sue.
- One more try... - You need to rest.
Leonard, bring me our lab rat.
Ben. Come in.
What is this? Where's Reed?
Where do you think? With Sue.
I'll take it from here, Leonard.
Yes, sir.
What do you want, Vic?
To help you.
The machine is ready.
But Reed said it wouldn't...
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?
Thank you.
Vic?
Vic, it worked.
Everyone thought I was safe behind those shields.
Oh, my God.
The machine worked for me. It can work for you, too!
It did, Ben. 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.
So tell me, what happens when you superheat rubber?
No!
Mr. Von Doom, are you okay?
Never better, Jimmy.
Why the long face? Let's talk in my office.
Ben.
Sue!
Johnny, the machine worked!
Give me a hand. Come on.
Get his arm.
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 supercooled?
Give up?
That's not like you, Reed.
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?
We gotta get out of here!
Wait a minute. I got an idea!
- Don't even think about it. - Never do.
What are you doing? Johnny, no!
Come on, flame on!
We have to help Reed.
It's too dangerous for you now. You have to stay here.
What did I do?
Come on, think!
Two down, two to go.
Sue.
- What has he done to you? - How romantic.
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.
Susan, you're fired!
Marco.
Polo.
Did you say goodbye to your brother Johnny?
It's time to end this!
No, Vic. It's clobbering time.
Damn, I've been waiting to do that.
Susie, you okay?
Victor ain't that bad, huh?
"He's just a little larger than life," right?
Maybe next time you'll listen to me before...
Ben!
- Sorry, ladies. - Stop the car!
Pull over. Hit the brakes!
This is the police.
Put your hands up and step down from the vehicle!
Take him out!
Ladies, I'm gonna need to borrow your car.
- The transmission sticks. - Not gonna be a problem.
I can't let you do that!
Reed?
I'll be right with you.
Hello, Susan.
You three are pathetic.
You missed me.
Had a little relapse, huh?
- Welcome back. - This is gonna be fun.
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.
Is that the best you can do?
Time for your lesson. Chem 101.
What happens when you rapidly cool hot metal?
Ben!
You done good, kid.
Come on.
Sue, you okay?
Yeah.
Man, I love this job.
Job, huh?
Well, we do have the suits.
Ladies, your drinks.
- I don't think we need another. - Just one more.
Thank you, thank you so much. Cheers!
I need names and shots.
Bartender!
They're custom-made, 36 EEEE.
Well, look. I've been crunching the numbers on the machine.
And I think if I can rework the power settings...
Forget about it, egghead. I'm good as is.
Better than good, baby.
You just need to work on your touch.
I like the sound of that.
- Can I talk to you for a second? - Sure.
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.
Sue Storm...
will you marry me?
Sue, you kind of need to say something.
Yes.
That's my nose, genius. These are my lips.
She's kissing him.
That's so cute.
About time, you guys.
No more wisecracks about the way I look.
Call me Mr. Sensitivity.
Okay. Wide load coming through. Everybody move, he's huge.
- Come here, Mr. Sensitive. - Flame on.
Showoff!
How long will it be?
Should be about 12 days.
