A space parasite causes Earth-bound mutations. Franklin destroys it with a mere thought. He is clearly an immensely powerful mutant, and his parents, after seeing what he did, say (again) that “something must be done.”

This is not a good comic. But it does have the best Thing panel in 100 issues.

Unfortunately, there’s another panel next to it…

Remember what I said about Doug Moench’s writing being too mature? I take it all back. Relying on female packing stereotypes is so 1950s.

The FF go on vacation. An alien tries to ruin it with basically a hate gun.

Reed tries to use science, but it’s Franklin who saves the day.
