Traitor Game VI: Back to Basics was hosted by The Purple Skull, and set in Castle Doom. The game scenario comes about as a consequence of events in the previous Traitor Game, in which Dr. Doom acquired the Official High Energy Plutonium Powered 500 Blast Radial Precision Continuum Transfunctioner (praise The Purple Skull for that long and awesome name), and began to expand his world-conquering ambitions to other universes. The Living Tribunal, realizing Doom has become too dangerous, summoned people from each of the universes Doom was invading, and placed them in a Traitor Game.
