In "The Return of the Mole Man!", the Mole Man schemes to lure the Fantastic Four to a remote island by orchestrating complaints from their neighbors—only to ambush them when they arrive. With the Subterraneans at his side, he sets his sights on turning the island into his next underground stronghold, testing the team’s resolve in a battle beneath the surface.
Ms. Marvel arrives in New York to start her new role editing a women's magazine for J. Jonah Jameson, but strange headaches and blackouts leave her disoriented. When the Scorpion targets Jameson for revenge, Ms. Marvel must confront the threat—only to question whether her own fractured memories are tied to the danger unfolding around her.
In "The Creature from Kosmos!", Ant-Man teams up with the daughter of a murdered scientist—Maria Pym—after an alien entity from the planet Kosmos terrorizes the city. With help from her father’s former colleague Vernon van Dyne, Maria gains the power to shrink and fly, becoming the Wasp as they confront the deadly extraterrestrial threat.
In "Beware... the Black Widow!", Natasha Romanova returns to New York with a striking new costume, eager to prove herself by facing Spider-Man—only to find that even weakened by illness, he still stands as a formidable opponent. With Gwen Stacy caught in the crossfire and Captain Stacy on the scene, the clash between hero and former ally sparks a tense confrontation that tests loyalty, skill, and the limits of resolve.
