Fantastic Four: World's Tiniest Heroes

One of Reed’s experiments go horribly wrong, leaving Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben to face shrinking out of existence. However, changing the team back is going to be no easy task, as H.E.R.B.I.E believes the mini-Fantastic Four to be an infestation of rodents that he must exterminate. However, things might not be as bad as they look when the team gets some help from Ant-Man, though will the combined forces of Ant-Man and Reed Richards be enough to save the team…?

Recap

Reed is examining the miniaturized Fantasticar that he used as a probe to explore the microverse, while Ben looks on and wonders how the experiment is going to go wrong. Reed insists that it's merely matter reduction, but he hasn't worked out the process for miniaturizing humans. He's invited over a scientist, Hank Pym, to brainstorm. They're interrupted when Johnny arrives with a dog, which he names Fire Hound. As he leaps on Reed, he accidentally drops the miniaturizer's control device. As Johnny explains he's watching it for a boy downstairs, the miniaturized Fantastic goes out of control. Johnny sends Fire Hound to get it and the dog runs around the laboratory, getting a green substance on itself. Leaping on a panel, fire Hound sets off security alarms and the laser systems go out of control. Reed manages to get the systems back under control and Susan arrives to contain the dog and the Fantasticar. She falls in love with the dog and Reed goes off to bed, while Ben is relieved they weren't attacked by monsters...

Episode Notes
Ant-Man makes his debut in this episode.



Episode Quotes
Reed: I don’t know why you insist that something bad is going to happen.
Ben: Oh, gee, I don’t know, maybe because it’s us?

Johnny: (introducing his dog) Say hello to the fifth member of the Fantastic Four: His code name is Fire Hound, or maybe Canine Torch. I haven't decided yet.

Reed: No dogs in the lab. I’m not saving you from your sister’s wrath this time.
Susan: Who’s the prettiest dog in the whole world? You are. Yes, you are.
Reed: Okay... Thank you, Susan.
Johnny: Ha! Sister’s wrath indeed!
Susan: Puppy.
Reed: I’m going to bed.

Susan: You shrunk me.
Reed: It’s entirely possible that everything else just grew.
Ben: Hey, you shrunk me!
Susan: See?

Susan: Huh? Are you kidding me? Please tell me you’re not in some kind of shrinking contest with another scientist.
Reed: Okay, I won’t tell you that, but I think I’m gonna win.

Johnny: Oh, Ben. We’re action figures
Ben: Yeah, and I'm about to show you my kung-fu grip. Now get over here.

Johnny: What’s the matter, big guy? Feeling a little short of breath?
Ben: We’re the same height, genius.
Johnny: Yeah, well… so are you!

Reed: Hang on. I’m recalculating how much time we have before we shrink to nothing.
Susan: Uhh, Reed, you may want to recalculate how much time we have until we get sliced and diced by a giant exhaust fan.
Reed: That doesn’t really seem as relevant. I... oh. (notices giant fan) For the fan, 13.5 seconds.

Reed: Everyone, I’d like you to meet Dr. Henry Pym. Also known as Ant-Man.
Ant-Man: Hi there. Funny, I thought you’d all be taller.
Ben: I bet you’ve been waiting your whole life to use that line.

Reed: I can’t wait to analyze the data.
Susan: Reed…
Reed: After I save our lives, of course.

Reed: Anyway, we have to get to my lab so I can analyze the probe, reverse the energy’s effects, and get back to normal. Simple.
Ben: Okay, you guys need to go form your own team now.
Johnny: I’m thinking “Legion of Geeks.”

Reed: Haven’t you always wanted to see an atom up that close?
(everyone groans)
Reed: And Hank, I totally won our bet.
Ant-Man: How... how did you do that?
Reed: I’m glad you asked. All I had to do...
Ben: Here comes the boring part. Run!
Reed: I was able to trap an electron of the microverse energy, then reverse its trajectory, which polarized the atom.
Ant-Man: Neat.
Johnny: Nerds!
