Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes 1.09

World's Tiniest Heroes

Johnny brings a neighbor's dog into Reed's lab while he performing an experiment that involves shrinking technology. The dog starts running around the lab knocking things over. The next day the team wakes to find themselves smaller. They continue to shrink as they try to make their way to the lab.

HERBIE, the Baxter Building's computer, doesn't recognize the team in their reduced state. It concludes that they must be vermin and attempts to dispose of them. Dr. Hank Pym (aka Ant-Man) shows up and lends the team a hand before they shrink out of existence or get killed by HERBIE.

Thoughts

HERBIE was first introduced in the 1978 Fantastic Four cartoon. He was created by Jack Kirby (according to my research) and took the place of the Human Torch who was absent from that incarnation of the Fantastic Four. In that show he was a small flying robot.

I like this episode better then the previous two that I watched but it still wasn't all that great.
