Story: FANTASTIC FOUR#289 by John Byrne (writer and artist)
Synopsis: Basilisk crawls up from the construction area of the
then
future Four Freedoms Plaza. He brags about his return and starts declaring
his plans. A construction worker shoots him out of the building and
declares, "Justice is Served!"
Is the story key to the overall Scourge storyline? Borderline.
John Byrne names
Scourge for the first time here. Reportedly while Gruenwald came up with
the character, Byrne came up with the name, and it suits the character
well IMHO.
Does the scene tie into the main story in this issue? Not
really,
beyond
tying into the subplot of the new headquarters being built.
Comments: Hammer and Anvil's death occurs chronologically
after this one.
However, the file is listed after Wraith's death since I'm going by
publishing order first and chronological order second
