The Fantastic Four, realizing it was time to confront Emperor Doom decisively, attempted to defeat him permanently. Yet, just as they were about to knock him out, he used magic to hurl them through time. Johnny landed on a pre-oxygen Earth, the Thing found himself in a dinosaur-filled jungle, Mister Fantastic was left in medieval times, and Sue nearly perished eight billion years into the future. Fortunately, while Doctor Doom is always devising ways to annihilate the Fantastic Four, Mr. Fantastic has been preparing an array of emergency strategies to keep them safe. He implanted a tracker within the Forever Stone, one of the Earth’s most enduring geological structures, which can be easily reached regardless of the time period. Once there, they would etch the date they were stranded and whoever was furthest in the future would call the Time-Sled to collect everyone. Unfortunately, the problem is that Sue was that person with the tracker malfunctioning, which meant no one could summon the sled without her getting lost forever.
