Since defeating the Mole Man, the Fantastic Four are now publicly known and have somewhat become celebrities among the citizens of New York on the same level of the Avengers. While Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm have spent most of their time attending charity events and creating Fantastic Four merchandise, Reed Richards and Sue Storm have preferred to remain out of the public-eye and continue to focus on their research at the Baxter Building. The couple are currently collecting research and resources regarding the ‘Van Allen belt’, the cosmic rays that struck the Fantastic Four to give them their powers, with the belt now given the title as the ‘Negative Zone’. In order to assist them with their research Reed has created a Highly Engineered Robot Built for Interdimensional Exploration, also known as ‘H.E.R.B.I.E’ for short, as they try to relocate ‘Van Allen belt’. Meanwhile in Latveria, Victor von Doom is watching over his manufacturer workers as they construct a new machine in order to rediscover the hidden realm that kept his mother’s soul. While the machine does work in at first, instead of opening up to the realm hiding his mother’s soul, he instead discovers the Negative Zone.
