FEARSOME FOUR

After escaping from centuries of captivity, the forgotten

Asgardian known as the Serpent has released mass hysteria onto the world with the aid of his hammer-wielding Worthy.

the mindless protector of the Nexus of All Realities. Thanks to the worldwide state of panic, the Man-Thing went on a ery rampage through Manhattan, and it was up to the unlikely team of Howard the Duck, She-Hulk, Nighthawk and Frankensteins Monster to stop him. After their rst encounter ended with a reality-bending disaster, the team learned of the true threat. Psycho Man, the emotionmanipulating mad scientist of the Microverse, intends to use the Man-Things volatile connection with terror as the ultimate fear bomb to subjugate not just this world, but countless others.

Whosoever knows fear burns at the touch of Man-Thing,

And just as our oddball heroes rallied to stop him, a New

and Fantastic Foursome emerged from the Nexus
