Synopsis

Fear Itself: Fearsome Four #2 Synopsis by Peter Silvestro

The mutated versions of the Fearsome Four (She-Hulk, Nighthawk, Howard the Duck, Frankenstein Monster) fight frantically among themselves but when Man-Thing departs, they slowly return to their own selves. Frank tries to depart and when the others confront him, he confesses he was only the pawn of a more powerful being, captured and brainwashed and sent to find Man-Thing.

The villain explains that his scheme is to collect the fear energies now saturating Earth and use it to build a doomsday weapon to conquer other worlds. He overcomes the Fearsome Four but Man-Thing attacks him from behind, allowing the heroes to recover and join in the battle (after Howard explains to Nighthawk that Psycho-Man is the real bad guy). Man-Thing’s eyes glow red and then dropping from the sky comes the new Fantastic Four—alternate world versions of Spider--Man, Gray Hulk, Wolverine, and Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch)….
