Issue Description

At the start of this issue, the Skrull Emperor wants someone who can defeat the Fantastic Four. Some Skrull scientists then augment a test subject, making him a Super Skrull, with all the powers of the Fantastic Four, only greater. He then travels to Earth to fight the Fantastic Four. When he reaches there, he fights the Fantastic Four, who are easily defeated. The Fantastic Four have to retreat, and Reed searches the sky on a hunch. He works out that the Super-Skrull's power is being beamed to him from the Skrull's home planet, and makes a jammer which will cancel out his super powers if it is placed on him. They then find the Super Skrull again, and offer to fight him on a lonely island, so that no innocent people will be hurt. After the Skrull beats almost all of them, the Invisible Girl manages to put the jammer on him. They then knock him into a crater, and Johnny seals it.

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.
