With Reed and Ben’s help, the team escapes and Johnny pursues the fleeing Wizard, who tries to flee into the sky—only to find his device failing as he spirals upward, out of control.

In "The Many Traps of Baron Mordo!" from Uncanny Tales #61, Doctor Strange finds his home mysteriously vanished into another dimension, ensnared by Mordo’s dark magic. With his ethereal form trapped in Mordo’s labyrinthine lair, Strange must rely on cunning and ancient paths to escape—while Mordo schemes to ambush The Ancient One under false pretenses. The battle of wits and wills unfolds in a realm where every step could be a deadly trap.
When the Wizard breaks out of jail and unleashes his anti-gravity device, he launches a scheme to impersonate the Human Torch and pull off a string of daring crimes. With Johnny Storm and Sue Storm captured, it’s up to Reed Richards and Ben Grimm to help them escape and stop the impostor before he vanishes into the sky. As the Human Torch pursues the fleeing Wizard, the anti-grav disc malfunctions—sending its pilot spiraling upward, higher than anyone thought possible.
