Fantastic Four – Disassembled | Comics

An oldest adversary for Fantastic Four and founder of Frightful Four super-villain team, Bentley Wittman AKA The Wizard returns with his old accomplice Trapster at his side to rebuild his old team once again and destroy his long-time enemies for good. In his virtual chat room, he was telling his fans that how the recent mishaps at Latveria have discredited his foes and how they are struggling to keep things together these days. He has also enlisted aid of his ex-wife Salamandra AKA Dragon's Daughter and one of his former teammate Hydro-Man in his brand-new endeavor.

However, instead of attacking The Four directly, he sends off his daughter Cole Wittman to seduce Johnny Storm AKA Human Torch after they have been chatting online for some time and let her father break into Baxter Building. She was successful in making contact with Johnny and The Wizard eventually got Reed Richards and his team on their knees for the whole world to see it. Looks like it is this the end time for Fantastic Four but hopefully Mister Fantastic will pull out something off his sleeve like he always does.
