Today's Hulk fractal transformation: a repeat of Gray Hulk.

This was a good episode if you like the Fantastic Four. This was Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic)'s and Sue Richards (Invisible Woman)'s 1st speaking appearances on SHS. Tara Strong did a credible job voicing Susie, and H.E.R.B.I.E. actually wasn't annoying here.

A pretty funny episode, especially the Paste Pot Pete jokes (At first then they started wearing thin) I don't think the "Mental Organisim Designed Only for Killing" can make fun of anyones name fairly.

And well the thranos in this episode was a fake.

A guest shot by the Fantastic Four? As a long-time FF fan, you knew I had to comment on this one.

This episode contained all of the stuff you'd expect in a SHS/FF themed episode: Doom (of course!) hatching a plot, fighting with Skrulls and Super-Skrull, Reed and Iron Man being smart, Johnny being a hot-dog, Thing and Hulk going at it, and Sue being charming and cool as usual.

Nice plot twist on Thanos. I never expected that

Spoiler

"Thanos" would turn out to be a Skrull con-man disguised as Thanos, and that the "alien tech" he was after in the Baxter Building was just the formula for string cheese.

Another funny moment: when Abomination and MODOK kept teasing Trapster about his original handle being "Paste Pot Pete".

Pete: You guys are jerks!
MODOK: We're bad guys. We're supposed to be jerks!

As previously stated, Tara Strong performed double duty in this episode, voicing both Susie and H.E.R.B.I.E. Thankfully, H.E.R.B.I.E. was a helpful assistant here and not the annoying Scrappy-Doo character he was in the New Fantastic Four series of 1978.

I would like to mention a few minor observations about the FF's portrayal here:

While I like the outer design of the Baxter Building in SHS (in fact, from a design standpoint, I like the layout of Superhero City as a whole; someone make this into a playset!), the interior designs of the building were kind of bland. What was with all of the green in Reed's lab? World's Greatest Heroes had the best looking lab layout on TV so far.

But the one thing I really appreciated here was the team's uniforms. These FF costumes are a VAST improvement over the white WGH costumes, although that doesn't take much. If Thing isn't going to wear a shirt, he should at least wear pants, boots and a proper insignia on his belt like he had here, not those low riding sweatpants, no shoes and a spray-painted '4' on his chest from WGH.

Overall, a fun episode. I give it a 3.5 out of 5. I would've liked to have seen Doom make some sort of remark about his hatred for Reed Richards, but that's minor.

Look for the Skrull disguised as Brittany Bratton (from "A Brat Walks Among Us!")!

Great episode
I'm surprised that this episode did not involved fractals
I like the part when they where making of the Trapster(Paste Pot Pete) name XD

 

[Silverstar]

I'm surprised that this episode did not involve fractals

The fractals were at least mentioned here: "Thanos" claimed that he could find all of the fractals on Earth with the Infinity Gauntlet, which is why Doom agreed to the partnership.

 

[R-Taco]

Compared to the rest of the episodes, this one actually had some pretty good dialogue. It's the first one so far without any groan-wrothy jokes.

 

[Hypestyle]

i wonder if the real infinity gems really exist in this 'toon series.. Doom seemed unimpressed..

 

[Conekiller]

I loved when Thor asked Reed to explain "For Hulk". Then they all took off while Reed was still blabbering.
