Origin
The Eliminator was targeting the
Fantastic Four because they were friends with
Agatha Harkness and his solemn duty was to eliminate all evidence ever dwelt by the powerful witch. The Eliminator captured the
Human Torch and brought him to an abandoned home in Whisper Hill. The rest of the Fantastic Four searched for
Johnny Storm when their vehicle was caught in a tractor beam and they crashed in front of the manor. The Eliminator attacked when
Mr. Fantastic,
Invisible Woman and the
Thing found their missing teammate. The Eliminator believed he had killed
Sue Storm with his omni-beam but she just turned invisible before the blinding flash faded. She was hiding in the shadows and protected her family when the Eliminator believed he had eliminated the Fantastic Four. The Eliminator started a self-destruct sequence because he thought he completed his mission but was shocked when the Fantastic Four was still alive. The Fantastic Four escaped and the Eliminator was destroyed in the explosion.
