Years after the fall of Kang, the world begins detecting dimensional anomalies — rifts not caused by magic or mutants, but by quantum decay. A team of scientists — previously scattered post-Blip — regroups under Reed Richards, now a reclusive, paranoid genius obsessed with fixing time itself. They form the Fantastic Four, not to fight evil, but to prevent reality from folding. When they trace the anomalies, they find an alternate version of themselves — The Fractured Four, from Earth-904 — who destroyed their own reality trying to save another. These versions are cold, brutal, and manipulative, claiming they are the "true versions" destined to replace the 616 team. What follows is an identity-crushing confrontation where both teams see their own flaws, and Sue Storm realizes the only way forward is to trust in imperfection — not dominance.
