Spider-Man is transported to an alien world, where he meets the Beyonder, a being who wants to see if good is stronger than evil. He then summons a group of the greatest villains from Earth to this world, telling Spider-Man to put together a group of heroes to fight them and save the planet.

Dr. Doom reverts the Thing to his human form and holds the other heroes prisoner. In an attempt to free his friends, the Thing tells Dr. Doom about the Beyonder. Dr. Doom then steals the Beyonder's powers, but they begin manifesting themselves in the form of creatures from Dr. Doom's dreams.
