In "The Lady Is for Burning!" from Fantastic Four #238, Johnny Storm finds himself caught between awe and unease when his girlfriend Frankie begins manifesting flames like his own. As her memories slowly return, she recalls a hidden past tied to a long-dead hero and a desperate experiment by her stepfather, Professor Phineas T. Horton, that may have ignited more than just a machine.
In "The More Things Change...", Reed Richards builds a robot to watch over Franklin, but his latest attempt to restore Ben Grimm to human form takes a troubling turn—this time, Ben's transformation spirals into something even more unstable. The experiment pushes the team's limits, testing the bonds between science, friendship, and the fragile line between progress and control.
