| Synopsis
| - Story continued from ...
1942: With a giant Nazi ship in the shape of a Swastika strikes at buildings in New York City, the Thing strikes out at the ship to prevent it from wrecking the city. Climbing on top he is shocked to find that it is piloted by one being, a disembodied brain calling of a Nazi scientist calling himself Brain Drain. Hypnotizing Ben, he forces the hero to explain that he has travelled back into the past to prevent the Nazi's from taking advantage of a chunk of Vibranium that was accidentally sent back in time. With Ben's tale explained, Brain Drain is shocked to find that Ben has shaken off the effects of his hypnosis. The Thing then tries to trash the ship, forcing Brain Drain to stop his attack and return to the Nazi's hidden ship off the coast of upstate New York.
Ben is about to finish his handiwork when he is suddenly surrounded by Nazi operatives Skyshark, Master Man, and U-Man who gang up and easily over power the hero, or so it seems. Waiting for their guard to lower when Brain Drain identifies that Ben is really wearing an exo-skeleton that might give the Nazi's more secret Ben reveals that he was only playing possum and attacks. However, Ben's efforts are ineffective and he is easily over powered again. Before the Nazi's can kill him the Liberty Legion arrives and attacks the super-villains. As Jack Frost, Red Raven, Patriot, Thinman and Blue Diamond dispatches U-Man; Red Raven, Whizzer and Miss Marvel deal with U-Man. When Ben attempts to smash Brain Drain, the villain launches himself on a rocket escaping the fight.
Also escaping is Skyshark who manages to secure his escape by ejecting Slicer out of his Stukka and leaves him to be captures by the Liberty Legion. Recovering the other half of the Vibranium cylinder, the Thing notices that the Watcher has appeared again signalling that his mission is over. Returning to New York City with the Liberty Legion, Ben bids them farewell and returns to his own time in his time machine.
Arriving in the present just as the Fantastic Four burst through the doors he forced closed on them, Reed wants to know how Ben recovered the missing half of the cylinder. Exhausted after his ordeal, Ben walks away telling them he'll relate the story another time because all he wants to do is see if Alicia is still awake.

| Notes
| - * Cover art modifications by Romita.
* Any references to Ben serving in World War II, and references to the modern era of this story being in the year 1976 should be considered topical due to Earth-616's sliding time scale. Modern stories would indicate that Ben served in the military, however the conflicts they participated would be topical for the era in which the stories were published if mentioned at all.
* The events during World War II that happened in this issue are said to have happened in an alternate time line and thus why Captain America and Namor in the modern era do not recall meeting the Fantastic Four back in the past during the war. However both the and indicate that the events in , and Marvel Two-In-One Vol 1 20 all occurred in Earth-616. The going theory is that the divergence occurred in a pocket dimension and merged with the regular 616 time line after the crisis was averted. One could argue that the reason Cap and Namor didn't remember their past meeting with the FF when they had first met the group in the modern era was because history hadn't been changed by the FF's initial travel back in time.
* This issue contains a letters page, "The Ever Lovin' Blue Eyed Letters Page". Letters are published from Doug Zimmerman, Terry Rilery, Mark Levine, and Larry Twiss.
