Plot

Within the Watcher's citadel on the moon, Aron the Rogue Watcher has revealed himself to the Fantastic Four and their ally Kristoff Vernard. While holding Sue, Johnny, Ant-Man and Kristoff in stasis, Aron explains how his plan all came together: He explains that after Doctor Doom stole a portion of his power and was subsequently defeated Uatu took Aron to the Watchers to face punishment for his blatant interference in the lives of the people of Earth. He was about to face judgement from his peers when the Watchers were all summoned to defend the being they call "The One", leaving Aron to escape and continue his schemes. He tells the captive heroes that the universe will fail but he will live on. He has come seeking the storage battery which contains the faction of his power stolen by Doctor Doom. While Aron's guard is down, Sue and the others launch an attack, stunning him enough to let them free. While the Fantastic Four press for a counter attack, Aron fires energy beams from his eyes that teleport Sue away from the scene of the battle.
