Human Torch and Cyborg

 

In this, his 10th appearance, Mr. Universe proves that a truce with him was never going to last.  Let's hope that Victor and Johnny can turn STF's signature villain back before he returns to full power!

So, now we know what the deal was. Darkseid (@ ST F #4464) brought Validus of the Fatal Five to present-day Luna to help him conquer the Inhumans (@ STF #4594)! And, following Darkseid's (usual) ignominious defeat, both Blackbolt and GL Hal Jordan needed Mr. U's help to send him back to his proper time-and-place. But, of course, Mr. U betrayed the two heroes by leaving them stranded in the 31st century! So, Cyborg is going to fetch them back by integrating his Mother Box circuitry with the time platform the FF confiscated from Dr. Doom.

Needless to say, of course, Mr. U is opposed to that.

@Anon725: "Ignominious"? Wow! I thought that word had died out with Stan Lee. Thanks for bringing it back. :-)

@Ross: great image-melding! I honestly can't tell where Gil Kane leaves off and Rich Buckler begins. :-)

Mr Universe , again?? This guy pops up more than the Joker! At least Johnny plays better than when he was with Spider-Man. How old is Mr Storm now?

With Marvel's current(ly infamous) sliding time-scale? Only ten years older than when he first became the Human Torch.
