In this episode:

Ed and Mike discuss the Hate-Monger and his \\u201cHatred Ray\\u201d. Unlike mind-control, this \\u201cemotion control\\u201d is far harder to identify. How would you know you are under the influence of a \\u201cHatred Ray\\u201d and not just \\u201cmad and angry\\u201d for all the \\u201cnormal\\u201d things that make you mad and angry? Will the effects of the Hatred Ray be permanent, or long-lasting, without an antidote? How do we know who in New York should be given the antidote? Can we force people to take the antidote? How thoroughly has this antidote been tested? Reed Richards took it, but he is not known for his caution\\u2026

In this issue:

A new villain, the Hate-Monger, causes a riot in New York City. He has whipped people into a hateful frenzy with a \\u201cHatred Ray\\u201d. He uses it on the Fantastic Four, which leads to them acting entirely out of character, angry and hateful. Fortunately, Reed\\u2019s old army buddy Nick Fury shows up. Fury explains how the US military needs the Four\\u2019s help in San Gusto, and Reed, still feeling the effects of the Hatred Ray and antipathy towards his teammates as a result, goes alone. Meanwhile, the Hate-Monger heads to San Gusto, and he captures Reed. Fury rescues Reed and gives him the Hatred Ray antidote. The rest of the Four catch up, and Reed gives them the antidote too. Fully restored, they take down the Hate-Monger.
