Synopsis
Doctor Doom and his new ally Kang the Conqueror head into space to track down the new energy source Doom has detected, unaware that the Magus’ deadly doppelganger is ready to step into Doom’s place. Shortly thereafter, Silver Sable arrives for her annual dinner engagement with Doom; the doppelganger seizes the opportunity to play up his arrogance and sadism, abusing Sable in hopes of provoking a war between Latveria and her Symkaria. Realizing this Doom is an impostor, Sable escapes from the guards and battles the castle’s security forces, making her way to the communications room where she hopes to find some answers. Meanwhile, back in Symkaria, the Wild Pack has been following the televised reports of the disaster at the Four Freedoms Plaza and, unable to contact Silver Sable, decides to mount a rescue mission to Latveria. While the team is preparing for their expedition, Sandman is overpowered and replaced by his own doppelganger. Back at Doom’s castle, the Doom doppelganger finds Sable, disguised as a Doombot, in the palace communications room.
