Puppet Master (Episode 5)
Phillip Masters discovers radioactive sand that has been hit by a meteor; the sand gives him the ability to control whoever's image he makes it in. He first makes a model of Mr. Fantastic and controls Reed's flexibility. He then moves on to control the Thing, using him as a means to get revenge on the art critics who rejected his work. He has the Thing kindnap the artists and bring them to his studio. Alicia, Philip's step-daughter, is dating the Thing and tries to help the remaining members stop the Thing, but Phillip has the Thing kidnap her. The remaining members go to Phillip's studio and confront him; Phillip, who now takes the Puppet Master moniker, has the Thing reveal a life statue of Johnny Storm (aka the Human Torch), which brings Johnny under the Puppet Master's control. Sue and Reed must fight the controlled teammates until Alicia destroys the statue of the Thing and frees him from control. The Thing directs Johnny's fire attack at the statue of Johnny which frees him. The Puppet Master is captured and put in solitary confinement; there he takes the frames of his glasses, reveals they are made of the controlling clay and works them into a statue of a prison guard, setting up his return later in the series.

Strings (Episode 15)
The episode picks up where the Puppet Master left off; from jail, the Puppet Master makes puppets of the guards along with the Mayor and the Chief of police. Using the two officials, the Puppet Master has the Fantastic Four evicted from their home. The Fantastic Four try to group and set up shop in a warehouse by the river, but the Puppet Master sends the Mayor, Chief and his controlled police force to arrest the Four. Reed suddenly leaves the others to be captured and taken to jail. At the jail, Sue, Ben, and Johnny learn that the Puppet Master has control over a number of people including Reed; Reed, for his part, escorts the Puppet Master into their former HQ and then realizes he has been under the control of the Puppet Master all along. Reed builds a helmet to enhance the Puppet Master's ability to control people without the use of the clay. Sue, Ben, and Johnny escape the prison and head into the city only to see the people come under the control of the Puppet Master and start attacking them. After a skirmish with the citizen, the trio makes it back to their HQ and see Reed with the Puppet Master, who brings Reed under his full control and has him attack them. The Puppet Master uses the helmet during the fight, which cancels out the powers of the Fantastic Four and the Puppet Master, frees Reed from control and allows the four to capture the Puppet Master.
