Synopsis
Dr. Doom has fought his way out of the very bowels of Hell to travel to an Oklahoma field and retrieve the hammer of Thor. The only thing that stands in his way is the Fantastic Four. Victorious, Doom is able to thwart his foes but is terribly surprised when he is unable to lift Mjolnir. Leaving in disgust, he doesn't notice that the Thing is unable to lift it either.
