* AnimatedAdaptation: ''WesternAnimation/FantasticFourTheAnimatedSeries'' adapted the story for its second season premiere episode. It's a largely faithful retelling (Daredevil's constant quipping included), but still with some notable changes. The bomb was instead set up by Doom himself, as the Frightful Four wouldn't debut until the following episode. Also, rather than have Reed make the choice for him, Ben turns himself back into the Thing (as the others had been incapacitated by Doom and were about to die).

The team lost his powers when they were caught in the blast of a bomb set up by the Frightful Four, and tried to keep it secret for the time being. Reed initially tried to use mechanical devices to replicate their powers, but it was of no use: Dr. Doom, who had been hypnotized in the second annual, got over it and is back with a vengeance!

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: This Daredevil is a fun guy that makes lots of quips and jokes during the fight. The character had just been created, and this was his initial characterization. It hardly has any similarity to the tragic hero that he would become from Frank Miller's run onwards.

* {{Determinator}}: Ben Grimm is the Thing again. Because of Doom. He will make him pay... and none of his weapons will help him!
* DiplomaticImpunity: Doom may have seized a building in American soil, tried to kill US citizens, and even blow up an atomic devise as part of his attack, but the Fantastic Four must still watch out not to go too harsh on him. He's a head of state and has diplomatic immunity!

* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Dr. Doom invades the Fantastic Four headquarters and take control of all of Richards' weapons and instruments.
* BadassInDistress: The FF survived the atomic explosion inside of Sue's forcefield, but they were knocked unconscious by it. Fortunately, a US military ship found them floating in the sea.
* BlatantLies: Reed is amazed by Daredevil's abilities, despite his lack of obvious superpowers. Daredevil replies that it's because of the four-leaf clover he always has. Of course, he won't reveal his secrets just like that!
* BondVillainStupidity: Powerless, the Fantastic Four have no chances against Dr. Doom, even if he has not captured them yet. Having control of their headquarters, he could easily track and kill each of them, one by one, as if they were flies... but it was a glorious situation, and he chose to make it last longer.
* BroughtDownToNormal: Happens to all the team, and not just the Thing.
* HappyEndingOverride: At the end of Fantastic Four Annual #2 Doom was hypnotized to think that he had willed Richards out of existence. Thinking that he had finally triumphed, he would not attack the team ever again. Of course, such a thing would not last for long.
* NoOneCouldSurviveThat: The Frightful Four left the Fantastic Four at the Ground Zero of the atomic bomb, and escaped. Mission accomplished. How could they possibly survive?
* UngratefulBastard: A local magician notices by accident that Dr. Doom is hypnotized, and undoes the spell. Now Doom knows that Richards fooled him! He must pay for it! And as for the magician that helped Doom realize it... he gave him a brutal slap, and told him to be grateful that he's not sentenced to death.
