The Fantastic
Dr. Moleski, a teacher students have nicknamed "The Mole Man," gives his class a "pep talk" that lacks pep in any or all of its forms. Victor Van Damme, a social outcast by choice, is the only student who supports what the Mole Man has to say. That support would be ignored by the military if they could hear it, however, as they have discovered that the Mole Man is continuing to conduct experiments he was explicitly told not to do, and is evicted from the Baxter Building. Some time later, Reed and Victor have collaborated on a much larger scale version of the teleportation device Reed once built in his back yard. Reed, Sue, Ben, Johnny and Victor are all front row witnesses to the machine's first activation, which does not work as expected.
