Review
One of the first examples of S.H.I.E.L.D. being used to bring down a super-powered being, encouraged by Mr. Fantastic no less! Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. are spotlighted pretty well; with a funny dressing down of Dum Dum by Fury. Although he later escapes, S.H.I.E.L.D. does manage to down the Surfer.
