Issue Description

The Thing lives! It's either prison or a life of crime for the FF! And then- meet the Overbrain! Guest-starring the Watcher.

While Ben lies seemingly dead with no apparent heartbeat after a devastating blow from the now-departed Hulk, Reed remembers that Ben's skin is thicker than regular humans, and gets them back to the lab so he can use more sensitive equipment on him. Sure enough, there is a heartbeat, and Reed manages to revive Ben and cure him at the same time.

Reed offers to try to turn Ben human once more, this time with no side-effect, but Ben smashes the machine, realizing he was truly happier as the Thing.

No sooner has this problem been resolved, thanThe Watcher appears, with a new prophetic warning: "Beware the Over-Mind!" And the warning can't come too soon- for the strange alien has already landed!

Volume Description

The Fantastic Four were created in response to DC's Justice League and soon became the Silver Age's premier superhero team. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby collaborated on the opening 102 issues of the magazine, and told the adventures of Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, Invisible Woman and the Human Torch. This first volume ran through issue #416, before it was rebooted as Fantastic Four (vol. 2) (13 issues) as part of the short lived Heroes Reborn arc. The series was restarted again with issue 1 in Fantastic Four (vol. 3) before it reverted back to the original numbering with issue #500.
