Doctor Doom switched minds with Mister Fantastic, Wizard led the Frightful Four (consisting of himself, She-Thing, Trapster, and a Punisher robot) in an attack on the Baxter Building. Due to the appearance of Doctor Doom and not knowing what happened, Wizard ordered a retreat not wanting to fight Doctor Doom. When the Fantastic Four's reputation was damaged by their attempted coup of Latveria to destroy Doom's arsenal, the Wizard assembled a new team consisting of himself, the Trapster, Hydro-Man and his ex-wife Salamandra, seeking to take advantage of the team's current poor standing by defeating them on a live broadcast. However, with the aid of the Wizard and Salamandra's daughter Cole - who was subjected to various experiments in the womb that give her natural control of the Wizard's gravitons - the Frightful Four are defeated when Cole helps the Fantastic Four find her father's base, the Wizard subsequently trapping the Trapster in a time loop when he becomes angered at the Trapster's incompetence while Hydro-Man and Salamandra are defeated by hitting them with the Wizard's own anti-gravity discs. Another version of the Frightful Four (consisting of Wizard, Hydro-Man, Titania, and Trapster) appears to challenge the Fantastic Four again, only to find themselves dealing with the additional presence of the Black Panther and Storm, who had temporarily joined the Fantastic Four while Reed and Sue were on a second honeymoon to work on their marriage after their separation during the "Civil War". When Klaw's body was restored to normal by Wizard and joins up with him, the group becomes the Frightful Five. When the Thing recently got engaged, his fiancé received a wreath from the Frightful Four with a card saying "See you at the wedding." At the time when Thing was fighting Red Hulk, a new line-up of the Frightful Four (consisting of Wizard, Klaw, Lyra, and Trapster) attacked the Baxter Building. A flashback recalled by Spider-Man and Invisible Woman had Spider-Man pulling down Human Torch's pants before the Frightful Four (consisting of Wizard, Trapster, and Beetle) attacked them. Invisible Woman managed to pull their pants down and was arrested alongside them for indecent exposure. Lucky for her, Spider-Man and Human Torch bailed her out. Under the orders of a mysterious benefactor, Wizard formed another incarnation of the Frightful Four consisting of Wrecker, Thunderball, and a female Bulldozer. They attacked Thing and depowered Human Torch in Times Square. During
