Synopsis for "Bedlam at the Baxter Building!"Edit

Reading the news of Reed Richards and Susan Storm's wedding day, Dr. Doom plots to ruin it by using his emotion changing device to make the super-villain community (whether or not they are a foe of the Fantastic Four) attack their wedding service.

Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. provide security for the wedding and stop a guest who the Puppet Master is controlling from poisoning Thing. While Thing considers telling Reed about the incident, Mole Man and his Moloids attack from underneath the building. Professor X summons the X-Men to help Thing ward them off. Reed, Sue and Johnny are attacked by the Red Ghost and his Super-Apes, until they are banished to another dimension by the arriving Dr. Strange.

With the initial attacks blunted, Dr. Doom increases the power enticing villains such as the Mandarin, Black Knight, Kang, the Awesome Android, and the Grey Gargoyle. While on his way to the wedding, Thor is attacked by the Super-Skrull whom is defeated by the Thunder God with the help of the Human Torch. Daredevil spots Hydra agents trying to drive a missile into the wedding party and tries to drive it away. The arriving Avengers, Captain America and Hawkeye fight Cobra, Executioner, Enchantress, and the Mad Thinker with the help of Spider-Man.

While Daredevil is chased by the Black Knight, an assist by the X-Men is interrupted by the arrival of the Mandarin, Electro, Unicorn, the Melter and the Beetle, while Quicksilver battles the Human Top.

Soon things explode into an all out battle between the heroes and villains until things are made even worse with the arrival of Attuma and his invading fleet, who had inadvertently intercepted the emotion changer impulse meant for the Sub-Mariner. Reed Richards is then summoned to the Watcher's citadel, where he is given a device that will allow him to send all his attackers away with no memory of what transpired. With the villains defeated, Reed and Sue are married off, while outside Stan Lee and Jack Kirby are asked to leave the ceremony as they do not have invitations.
