The Puppet Master tests his radioactive clay that gives him the power to remotely control people that are modeled in the clay.

The Puppet Master gets the Thing under his command and imprisons the Invisible Girl. He then sends the Thing and Alicia Masters, disguised as Sue Storm, to infiltrate the Baxter Building.

While acting under the Puppet Master's influence, the Thing is subjected to one of Mister Fantastic's potions that changes him back to Ben Grimm.

The Puppet Master stages a jailbreak just to prove his might. Invisible Girl sends a distress signal to her teammates and the Puppet Master flees when meeting the combined forces of the Fantastic Four.

The jail break is stopped by the Fantastic Four and the Puppet Master falls to what seems to be his death.

A Soviet spymaster sends a master of disguise to steal the design of Tony Stark's latest weapon. The Actor steals the plans and learns Iron Man's secret identity, but Iron Man regains the plans and tricks the communists into killing their own agent.

A meek and lonely space pilot volunteers for a suicide mission to investigate a strange cosmic cloud. The cloud hides a utopian planet, whose inhabitants only want humans brave enough to face the unknown to visit them.

Strange is lured into a trap in England by Baron Mordo, but defeats him with the help of a woman with latent magical talents.

An alien invades earth and claims his people will conquer the planet unless he is met in battle by the strongest opponent the world has to offer. Hulk meets the challenge but finds out it is all a ploy by the Russians to capture him and create an army of hulks of their own.
