Mr. Fantastic, also known as Reed Richards, takes Ben Grimm and Sue Storm for a ride in a new flying vehicle. Ben is shocked by how technologically advanced the vehicle is, and Mr. Fantastic explains that it is a gift from the Wakandan chieftain, the Black Panther. Later, the Black Panther’s emissary tells Mr. Fantastic that the sky-craft is his to keep and asks that the Fantastic Four come to Wakanda for a great hunt.

In Wakanda, the Black Panther prepares for the hunt. A carved panther rises from the ground, and the chieftain opens it, turning on his many machines and retrieving his black panther costume. Elsewhere, Johnny Storm sits in his dorm room while his roommate, Wyatt Wingfoot sleeps. The rest of the Fantastic Four greet him and tell him that they are going to Wakanda. Johnny brings Wyatt.

At on outpost in Wakanda, a scout informs the Black Panther that the Fantastic Four have arrived. As they fly over the jungle, Sue comments on how underdeveloped the area is. However, the group flies through the foliage and sees a jungle of machines and advanced technology. The emissary explains that every mechanical branch and flower has a purpose.
