Synopsis

Invited to Wakanda, the Fantastic Four's ship is suddenly struck out of the sky. Trying to contact T'Challa, Mister Fantastic fails to get a direct signal, but they realize that something is very wrong. The Thing tries to get the ship under control but the controls break and the ship suddenly comes apart in mid-air, forcing the team to begin evasive maneuvers to try and get to the ground safely. While the Torch is able to get to the ground under his own steam, Mister Fantastic uses his body to create a parachute for his wife to land safely. While the Thing just slams into the ground but is unharmed. The Fantastic Four are then attacked by men wearing strange body armor and high tech weaponry, capturing the Thing and the Torch. Reed and Sue manage to evade capture when Sue turns them in invisible so they can see what their mystery attackers are up to. Suddenly before the mercenaries can detect Reed and Sue with their heat sensors, the Black Panther and his Panther Posse suddenly leap from out of the jungle and attack. With Ben and Johnny freed, Reed and Sue make themselves visible and join the fight as well. As the battle rages, Reed gets to postulating some theories on the nature of the mercenaries unique armor. Getting a Vibranium knife from one of the Panther Posse, Mister Fantastic tests out his theory by using it on one of the soldiers causing his armor to harmlessly explode. Realizing the armor is made out of solid sound, the Panther Posse come at their attackers with their Vibranium weapons, forcing them to flee. Suddenly they realize that the Black Panther's old foe Klaw is the on responsible for this invasion of Wakanda
