Reed quickly figures out the nature of this Negative Zone counterpart of our planet. The Janus apparition goes berserk and hurls our fearless foursome across negative space right to that very spot, where they all face annihilation in the atmosphere of…the Anti-Earth!
The FF make a quick getaway and Reed then reminds the negative-energy form that thinks it is Janus that the real Janus perished in the explosive area of the Zone. The scheme fails because Sue stops up the FF’s throats with force fields (the Thing finds that as unpleasant as it was necessary) then Annihilus shows up, murderous as ever (and well-fed on little Negative Zone beasties) and ready to attack. It’s the return of a surprise villain-Janus the Nega Man from Fantastic Four #107-109! Janus has lured the FF into the Negative Zone so that he and his swarm of creatures can use them as they used the Changeling’s body, as host bodies from which they can invade Earth. ( ECCH! ) No sooner are they clear of “He Who Annihilates” than they are set upon by more of those creatures and confronted with the one who sent them.
To learn who is trying to get them, Earth’s greatest heroes must go to the source of the energies that Reed scans from the bodies of the creatures-through Sub-Space to the Negative Zone! In through the Distortion Area they go, and into the antimatter universe itself, sneaking past Annihilus, who is having a snack of the same creatures that attacked the FF in their home. The narration in this page from FF #51 (1966) identifies the Thing’s body-snatcher as “the Changeling.”
