The episode begins with an introduction of the Doom Factory, a loosely-connected collective of 10 super-villain / artistes, who are sycophantic followers of the evil genius Wes Warhammer. The Ventures receive a very artsy threat videotape in a Warholesque box marked Doom. Dr. Mrs. The Monarch tries to convince the Council of 13 that the Blue Morpho is in fact Dr. Venture, and that he is killing off villains, but they do not believe her.
