Description

Had this page for a bit and glad I finally have time to put it up. Nice pluses having a note to Joe from John and the back a drawing of Sue as a bonus.

"No Johnny, I still cherish what Ben and I once had, but he belongs in my past. My present, my future... they belong to us." -- Alicia Masters

Synopsis for "Prisoner of the Flesh"Edit

The Wasp checks in on Mister Fantastic who is working away in the Avengers lab, making repairs after their encounter with Marvel Girl earlier. He remarks the entire encounter has got him thinking of his old foe Doctor Doom, who is supposed to be dead. He recalls that after Doom's death, he somehow was present during the Secret Wars that they were all involved in with the Beyonder. Knowing how Doom has countless contingency plans to cheat death, Reed has cobbled together a device that will try to locate him by his brainwaves. He hopes to confirm that Doom actually died during the Fantastic Four's last "official" encounter with him when they battled Tyros. Sue interrupts their conversation to inform them that its time for her and the Wasp to go see Janet's hairdresser, they are also joined by the She-Hulk. While Reed has no interest in hairstyles, he tells the women he will walk them to the mansion foyer on his way to work on the new Fantasticar. As they leave, none are aware that Reed's device has picked up on a mental pattern closely matching that of Doctor Doom.

Later, as Sue is getting her hair done by Janet's hairdresser, they are suddenly interrupted by the sound of an explosion from outside. Going to the window they witness someone dressed up as the Invincible Man attacking the Latverian embassy. Sue finds this impossible since the Invincible Man was originally the Super-Skrull. The Wasp rushes out to stop him and is soon joined by Sue and She-Hulk, who quickly subdue him. The man in the Invincible Man costume tells them to stop, explaining that he is an enemy of Doctor Doom and appeals to them for help. When Sue tells the mystery man that Doom is dead, he points up to a nearby window in the embassy where they see what appears to be Doctor Doom standing within. When Sue mentions the possible diplomatic problems of attacking the embassy, the man tells them that Doom kidnapped his wife and child in order to get access to the technology in his invincible suit. Believing in the man's plight, the three women agree to try and help and storm the embassy.

Meanwhile, in Queens, an elderly woman named Sara gets a visit from her neighbor Peggy McArthur and her baby. Peggy is frantic as she has been forcibly confined to her home for months. She explains it all started when her husband Norman, went out for groceries. He was caught in the middle of the Fantastic Four's battle with Tyros and Doctor Doom. Afterwards, when her husband returned home he was acting strange and speaking with an accent. He then locked his wife in the house and began working on a suit of armor. When he recently left the house wearing it, Peggy later broke out and came looking for help. As she finishes her story, Peggy catches a news story on the television and is shocked to see her husband attacking the Latverian embassy.

At that very moment She-Hulk and the others are smashing through the front door to the embassy and are greeted by a group of Doom's Servo-Guards. As the four combatants fight it out, they notice that the Impossible Man is slipping away, and Sue decides to follow him invisibly. Losing him in one of the hallways, Sue decides to start checking the rooms. Opening one of the doors reveals what appears to be Doctor Doom, who detects her presence. While outside, Peggy and Sarah have come to the embassy determined to find out what is wrong with Norman. Despite Sarah's warnings, Peggy goes inside. Back indoors, Sue battles it out with what she quickly deduces is really a Doombot and destroys the robotic construct. However, the danger is not over as she is blasted from behind by the Invincible Man, who claims that he is really Doctor Doom. When Sue uses her powers to make his mask invisible to confirm this, she sees the fact of Norman McArthur -- someone who she doesn't recognize. As Sue and the Invincible Man battle it out, Peggy and Sarah enter the room. Conflicted about what to do, Peggy decides to help the man who she thinks is her husband and smashes a vase over Sue's head when she has the Invincible Man on the ropes. When Peggy rushes to her "husband" he chastises her and tells her that he is really Doctor Doom. Removing the Invincible Man mask underneath, the man in the suit is also wearing a Doctor Doom mask.

Doom explains that during the battle between the Silver Surfer and Tyros, Doom used a technique he learned from the Ovoids to swap minds with Norman McArthur who was spectating the battle from afar. While Doom escaped into Norman's body, Norman was left to be atomized in Doom's body. Although Peggy does not believe this, Doom continues, explaining after he completed th
