FANTASTIC FOUR #1.
Iron Man contacts the Avengers (
Captain America, Scarlet Witch, Thor, Vision) about the attack on Air Force
One; as they investigate the identity of the attackers they suddenly
notice that Jarvis is frozen in time. Everyone but them seems to be
likewise trapped and they discover the second Harbinger of
Everlasting Winter at the Hudson River; As with the Fantastic Four,
the giant wooden statue fights them with great power, even recovering
instantly from Thor's hammer blows. Iron Man and Thor try
synchronizing their efforts and they manage to topple the giant—onto
a crowded highway....
At the Swiss HQ of Praxis Corporation,
the dying Nora Queen tries to keep control over company business; her
agents have lost the Golden Apple that was the key to immortality but
her sly assistant Lester has an alternate plan in motion....
The Avengers stop the wooden giant from
hitting the highway and Vision discovers that the creature has
something within compelling them to fight it. Suddenly Dr Strange
appears before them in his astral form explaining to them about the
Golden Apple, divided into eight pieces which they and the FF must
recover; he sends their astral forms back to inhabit their bodies in
a past time to recover four of the apple slices and warning them to
avoid messing up past events....
Tony Stark finds himself at one of the
lowest points of his life—the period when he was a drunken derelict
on the streets of New York. He nearly falls in the path of a bus but
a good Samaritan rescues him and gives him some cash. After a meal
and coffee, Tony enters the barbershop which is a secret entrance
into SHIELD HQ in search of Nick Fury. The barbers deny knowing
anything about SHIELD and when Tony starts a ruckus, they call the
police who take him away....
Wanda finds herself at the United
Nations along with Quicksilver and Toad the day Magneto disrupts the
meeting and demands that the delegates create a nation for mutants.
The Avengers (Hawkeye, Goliath, Wasp) arrive and do battle with the
Evil Mutants. In the battle a gunshot grazes Wanda's head (at the
maneuvering of Magneto) and the angry Quicksilver fights heroes, now
finally convinced that Magneto was right (Mags' plan all along). The
villains escape and find Wanda unharmed except she has lost her
memory....
