Synopsis for "The Fantastic Four Battle the Mad Thinker and His Awesome Android"

While the Fantastic Four are summonded to Reed's lab to see his latest creation, a minature android, the FF are blissfully unaware that a new menace named the Mad Thinker has gathered an army of criminals and is using his probability calculating computers to come up with the perfect crime to best the FF.
While the Fantastic Four are busy helping Johnny's Cousin Bones and his faltering circus, the Mad Thinker and his goons take over the Baxter Building. When the FF return home they are shocked to find that the Thinker took Reed's Android technology to create the Awesome Android to fight them.
The Thinker has the FF on the defensive when suddenly all of Reed's devices stop working, and the FF capture him. Shocked over what happened, the Thinker is told by Reed that whenever Willie Lumpkin comes to deliver the mail his devices are all deactivated when the simple mailman buzzes himself in.
