synopsis:
While Reed, Sue, and Ben read over some fan mail, they are suddenly
startled when Lockjaw transports Johnny and Wyatt into the Baxter
Building. While elsewhere, the Mad Thinker (with the help of his
computer Quasimodo which he promises to provide a human body in exchange
for help) recover the body of the original Human Torch and begin
repairing it.
While Reed is examining Lockjaw's teleportation powers, Johnny
travels out to the desert to try to find a way with his own power to
break through the Negative Zone sealing off the Hidden Land of the
Inhumans. There he is attacked by the original Human Torch. The battle
is eventually broken up with the arrival of the rest of the Fantastic
Four and Wyatt when they are transported there by Lockjaw. Separating
the two, the original Torch gets back under control. When they are
teleported into the Mad Thinker's lab, the Thinker has Quasimodo
activate a device which causes the original Torch to destruct, allowing
the Mad Thinker to escape. When Lockjaw begins teleporting Johnny and
Wyatt leap onto the beast being transported away. In the aftermath the
rest of the FF depart as well, leaving Quasimodo with his dreams of
being human crushed.
