Reed Richards has had a bad day. After fighting the Everyman, a populist super villain who was also Larry Ekler, the son of one of Reed's old friends, he traced Larry back to the Fennhoff Institute. Once he arrived there with Spider-Man, he found the Thing, the Human Torch, the Invisible Girl, and even his own son, Franklin, physically and mentally broken by the Institute's director - the sinister psychologist Doctor Faustus! He's trying to drive Reed mad - the FF and Franklin were androids, and Spider-Man a henchman in a Halloween costume. Of course, the doctor isn't entirely all there himself, given that he spends the entire issue being yelled at by his dead mother. Reed's a little better at determining fantasy from reality...
