Reed discovers that a canister of Vibranium has accidentally fallen into his time platform and made its way back to World War II where the Nazis have used it to win the war. The Fantastic Four travel back to 1942 where they fight alongside the Invaders to defeat Baron Zemo and recover the Vibranium. Upon returning to their own time, however, the Thing discovers that only half of the Vibranium has been accounted for and prepares to leap back in time again.
