Iron Fist agrees to help Doop rescue
his pal Fangu who is being held prisoner in a Mafia den fronted by the Zippy Pie
pizza joint. The two heroes dash in, take down the assault weapon-wielding clerk,
and crash into the back room, interrupting a Halloween poker tournament. In the
melee, the golden orb containing Fangu is swallowed by Iron Fist. A baddie
hurls a grenade at them so Doop swallows Iron Fist who is able to get rid of
the grenade, losing it in the madhouse that is Goop’s insides. Doop hides
inside Shaman’s stolen bag which he puts inside a pizza box to be delivered to
Avengers Mansion. The delivery guy drops it off and is annoyed that there is no
answer and therefore no tip. Once he is gone, Goop vomits up Iron Fist who
vomits up the golden orb. Doop accidentally lights a belch, terrifying Fangu.
They calm him down and sit down to rest.

Synopsis: Mister Sinister is in
Latveria, standing outside Doctor Doom’s castle; he uses a device to teleport
himself into the lab, takes a specific sample, and departs silently. Outside,
he is greeted by Loki who reveals he has tricked Sinister into stealing the
sample for him. As he is about to depart, Sinister hits him with a gem-shaped
weapon cloned from Dazzler, which converts Loki’s speech into light, preventing
him from casting a spell to get away. Sinister threatens him with a sword and
Loki casts bright lights into the air, summoning Doom’s guards, a bunch of
grotesque distortions of humanity. As they face the monsters, Sinister clamps a
mantrap on Loki’s arm which will cause a nuclear explosion if Sinister doesn’t
defuse it in five seconds. Sinister then fires at the monsters with a gun that disintegrates
its victims; he asks Loki for more ammo which turns out to be cloned eyeballs
of Scott “Cyclops” Summers. Loki holds up a card reading “Trust me” and
Sinister restores his voice; Loki casts a spell that teleports them to
Symkaria. Sinister demands the sample; Loki asks why he wants it; Sinister
replies that he is the only person who could create a clone from it; Loki hands
it over cheerfully, along with he defused mantrap. Loki vanishes; we learn the
sample was of Loki’s DNA; he notes that, with his knowledge of sorcery, over
time, Dr. Doom could have succeeded but Sinister, bound to his determinism,
will never succeed.
