SPIDER-MAN TEAM-UP #3 (June 1996)
By Dan Jurgens & Bob McLeod
APPEARANCES:
Spider-Man (Ben Reilly), Fantastic Four: Human Torch, Invisible Woman, Mr. Fantastic, Thing; Shiwa Ven Garmchee (also in fb), Rasheed Ven Garmchee
FLASHBACK:
Shiwa Ven Garmchee, a wizard from another world, opens a portal to the Fantastic Four.
SYNOPSIS:
Spider-Man sneaks into the Fantastic Four’s building and plays a birthday prank on the Human Torch. The rest of the Fantastic Four rush in to see who the intruder is and calm down when they realize it’s Spider-Man. Spider-Man is surprised to see that Mr. Fantastic is alive (he recently came back from “the dead” in his own book), but their conversation is interrupted when another alarm sounds. A portal opens and Shiwa Ven Garmchee arrives; he caught a vision that he had to investigate and quickly finds Johnny’s video game system. He’s fascinated by it. Meanwhile, Thing falls into the portal and arrives in Shiwa’s world. Everyone there thinks he’s a monster, so he transforms into his human form and tries to find a way home. He runs into Shiwa’s brother (I think), Rasheed Ven Garmchee, who attacks Ben. Ben turns back into the Thing and fights back. Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four arrive and rescue Thing, stop Rasheed’s plan to take over the Fantastic Four’s world and return home.
NOTE:
Thing uses a gizmo that emits a concentrated blast of cosmic rays to turn himself human and then back into the Thing. Has this ever been seen before or since?
