Synopsis for "The Power and the Pride!"
StormingDr. Doom's castle, the Fantastic Four are split up whenCrystal andSue fall through a trapdoor. While the girls fight their way into Dr. Doom's banquet hall, the guys fight through the main hallways of the castle.
As Doom invites the girls to sit and feast with him to watch the ensuing battle, they witness as Doom's assistantHauptman tries to burnReed and the others with a flamethrower. However, when Hauptmann almost destroys Doom's valuable art, Doom plays a special key on his piano that kills Hauptmann on the spot. Growing weary of this "game," Doom tells Sue and Crystal that the battle is over and tells the Fantastic Four that they are allowed to leave Latveria.
