Stories

  • Things Aren't Always What They Seem · 14 pages

    In an isolated research station, Dr. Langkowski is invited to study an odd cosmic radioactivity phenomenon. When the scientist locks in, the Fantastic Four's the Thing is "beamed in", forcing Langkowski to reveal his secret identity to the others. Then the other scientists are killed off and the strange visitor turns out to be someone else altogether.

  • A Stranger In My Mirror · 8 pages

    The young Jeanne-Marie Beaubier grows up in an orphanage and develops her powers and her dual personality. When she runs across some thugs, she deals with them easily, much to the amusement of the passing Wolverine, who suggests she contact James MacDonald Hudson.
