gc8's Fantastic Four #28 - We Have To Fight The X-Men! review

X-Men: First Class Mess

This issue features the Mad Thinker and his 'Awesome' Android teaming up with the Puppet Master - pretty cool, huh? Then throw in Marvel's coolest super team of all time, the X-Men and you know you're in for a hell of a ride.

There's also some really goofy booby-traps; and the Mad Thinker, the guy who prides himself on taking into account all possible contingencies, fails to anticipate what is perhaps the most obvious thing that could go wrong.

Professor X is purportedly the strongest mind on the planet.  Sue Storm has the strongest diversity of powers in the Fantastic Four.  Jean Grey is the strongest telekinetic on the planet.  Maybe I am reading too much  later character development into these statements, but after a year of training with Xavier and over a year of defeating villains with her teammates, Marvel and Invisible Girl should be a whole lot more impressive than they are in here.  Susan just lets herself get put into a locke...
