Spider-Man visits the Fantastic Four and fights them to prove he can become one of their members.

Mister Fantastic has sent the '4' flare into the sky to call together the other three members of the group - the Invisible Girl, the Thing, and the Human Torch. When they finally meet, Reed tells them that there is a fearful task awaiting them. The Fantastic Four origin is shown as the four teammates injudiciously rocket into outer space and become exposed to a cosmic ray bombardment. When they crash-land on Earth they soon discover that their bodies have changed and given each a different, unexpected super power.
