Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Thing and their allies Hellscout and Gornkai have made an alliance with the mad Inhuman known as Maximus who has set up operations in the ruins of the Four Freedoms Plaza that is located in the Negative Zone. With a group of pirates ransacking the Negative Zone for resources that are being taken into the positive universe, Reed Richards fears that any instability in the process could cause the both realms to be obliterated. In discovering the Negative Zone, Reed always tried to keep close control over the technology to breach the barrier, but now feels responsible that it has fallen into the hands of less altruistic individuals.
