Author's notes

Just in case you are a new reader, I just want you to be aware. I wrote about 11 chapters of this story before doing a complete rewrite, so if someone mentioned something that happened in the story in a review, and it doesn't happen in a chapter, that's why.

SLAM! A large pair of double door's slammed loudly, and violently open. An angry Dr. Doom walks in, and over to a table. He picks up a large piece of paper and starts inspecting it, before ripping it in half.

"BAH!" He yells. He continues stomping around, mumbling to himself.

"How could this be? My plan was perfect! Perfect! How could that bumbling bafoon thwart me again!" He asks. He is now violently throwing various objects around the room.

"That blasted Reed Richards, and his blasted team of freaks! Damn them all!" The room was now in shambles.

"How could this of happened? I am superior to him in every way! Every possible way! And yet he continues to defeat me!" Doom was running out of things to break. Various chemicals were spilled on the ground, only one vile remained.

"Grrr...I HATE YOU REED RICHARDS! YOU AND YOUR TEAM CAN ALL GO TO HELL!" Doom throws the last vial straight at the wall, and once it makes contact, it completely shatters. The contents of the vial splatter all over the wall, and begin to sizzle. The contents, were in fact a very potent acid, and it burns a hole straight through the wall, revealing a room long forgotten. An old storage room where various failed and half finished inventions lay, one invention in particular catches Doom's eye.

"Eh?" He walks over to the hole, and sees one of the more dangerous inventions of his. Doom walks several steps to the left, and opens up a door. He walks inside the storage room and inspects the invention. An old inter dimensional transporter Doom had built years ago. It was dusty, but seemed to still work. Well, work as well as it did anyway. You see, Doom had forged many alliances with many villains over the years, but The Fantastic 4 always seemed to still win. And that's because they knew how to beat there opponents. They had faced Mole man a hundred times, and knew how to beat him a hundred times again. Making alliances with any villain in Doom's own universe wouldn't do him any good, as The Fantastic 4 had already faced every villain in his universe. So, he thought to go to a different universe and find help there. Unfortunately for him, he couldn't get the machine to take him to a place quite different enough. He went to several other universes, and each had many differences, but the main things were always the same. Mole man was always Mole man, Super Skrull was always Super Skrull, Kang the conqueror was always Kang the conqueror, and so on. Doom sought a different villain, someone who no one in all of his universe had ever faced. But alas, he couldn't get far enough. Doom started thinking over his defeat again, and it became obvious that he could surely defeat any one member of the Fantastic 4. Hell, maybe even two. But four was to many for even him, all he needed was some help. Maybe it was time to give the inter dimensional transporter another try? That's what Doom thought anyway as he dragged it out of the room.
