Synopsis
The Thing takes Wundarr to the zoo but the child-like alien causes havoc when he begins to free the animals. Steve and Sharon are enjoying a nice day together when the mayhem ensues and Cap lends a hand. Namorita is conveniently also in the vicinity and takes Wundarr off the Thing's hands. Ben returns to the Baxter Building with Cap and Sharon in tow and they are shocked to discover a woman from the far future. Tarin spins an apocalyptic tale of the subjugation of earth by the Badoon and Reed sends The Thing, Cap and Sharon back with her to the future to save humanity.
