free himself from Trapster's paste. However, while fighting the Thing one on one, Ben managed to catch Reed and smash him into an urn. During the fight, Johnny was captured and Sue chases after the urn with Reed inside. While the Frightful Four brainwashed Johnny, Sue freed Reed; they got a hold of a number of the Wizard's anti-gravity discs. Using them to disorientate the other Frightful Four members, they used one to make taking Ben back to base easier. However, although the other members were caught up, the Wizard and Johnny were still free and chase after Reed, Sue and Ben. While being chased by Wizard and a mind-controlled Human Torch, Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman managed to escape from them. The Frightful Four incapacitated the Human Torch when they found out that he was pretending to be mind-controlled. Meanwhile, Reed tried to use a device to reverse the brainwashing on Ben. Ben, however, tried to destroy the machine in order to get free, causing an explosion that exposes him to a near-lethal dose of radiation. Although it worked, and Ben was changed back to normal: he was put in a bed to see if he would live or die. The Frightful Four then returned to the Baxter Building and attack Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, showing them that they had Human Torch as a hostage. However, the Thing revived just long enough to crush the Wizard's body armor, giving Human Torch the chance to free himself from the gigantic anti-gravity disc he was tied to. The Fantastic Four then easily defeated their opponents, and captured Wizard, Trapster, and Sandman. Medusa, however, managed to escape. After the three remaining members of the Frightful Four were turned over to the police, the Thing decided to rejoin the Fantastic Four with hopes that if Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman can endure this sort of daily danger and be married, then maybe someday he could be normal again. The Frightful Four got back together and spied on the Fantastic Four during their visit to child-rearing expert Agatha Harkness. That time, they planned to kidnap Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman's newborn son Franklin Richards. This time, they were defeated by Agatha, who revealed to the Fantastic Four that she was also a witch. The Wizard, Trapster, and Sandman reunited in order to look for a fourth member after Medusa regained her memories. As
