## Plot

On the day when the Fantastic Four got their powers, there was an untold 5th person in the ship, Victor Von Doom, who was sitting in the electrical room when the cosmic rays hit him. Now, he is a ruler of a country called Latveria, known as Doctor Doom, who owns a robotic army called the Doombots, and a vendetta towards Reed Richards. One day, he was sitting in his ship when a doombot told him one of his meetings draw near.

In New York, Johnny Storm and Peter Parker/Spider-Man are roaming the streets of New York, helping them chase a criminal known as Trapster, or Paste-Pot-Pete. When they caught the criminal, Johnny asks Peter if he is doing alright, after the recent events in New York, and Peter assures him he is fine. Johnny then flies to the Baxter Building and greets Ben Grimm and his partner, Alicia Masters, which Ben scold him for because he wants to be alone with Alicia, revealing that Reed and Sue reserved a table for Ben and Alicia in a restaurant. Realizing he wasn't invited, he confronted Reed and Sue, to which Sue tells him that she feels bad that he isn't able to get a partner yet, and they left for the double date.

Johnny, annoyed and disappointed, took a walk in a park a couple hours later. There, he meets a giant bulldog, without it's owner. The bulldog ran to an abandoned building and Johnny, out of curiosity follows the dog. There, the bulldog, named Lockjaw is met with it's owner, a woman named Crystal, who discovered Johnny a couple moments later. She was hostile at first but after Johnny tells her he wants to get Lockjaw back to it's owner, she loosens up and they talk. She reveals that she is part of the Royal Family of a race called the Inhumans, who reside in Attilan, on the moon. Her brother-in-law, Maximus, told her that earth is a great place to go to to get some fresh air, and she went there to escape from the life of being a Royal. She invites Johnny to come home with him, and he accepted right away.

Lockjaw, who has teleporting powers, teleported them to the moon, where the Inhumans reside. Johnny is shocked to see that they are on the moon, and Gorgon, a bodyguard of the Inhuman Royal Family, found out that Crystal brought a human to Attilan, and confronts them. He brought both of them to the king of the Inhumans, Black Bolt, and the queen, Medusa, Crystal's sister.

In Earth, Reed, Sue, Ben, and Alicia finds out that Johnny is missing, and starts to get worried. Reed, however, reveals that he managed to find Johnny's location through a tracker in his suit, and he's on the moon. The group is shocked and wonders how they can get Johnny back, but Reed manages to find a way to get them back.

While Gorgon is escorting Crystal and Johnny to the royal hall, they pass Maximus, Crystal's brother-in-law. In the throne room, Johnny testifies to Medusa and Black Bolt that he meant no harm, but Medusa is enraged, as Inhumans are not allowed to bring non-inhumans to Attilan, and their ancestors think of them as inferior beings, asking Gorgon to bring Johnny to a prison cell, also grounding Crystal. Suddenly, Medusa gets information that there are people attempting to breach Attilan's shield barriers, and dispatches Gorgon to confront them, after he brings Johnny to his cell. On the way, Johnny sees Maximus, talking to someone on a big monitor, suspiciously.

Outside Attilan's shield barriers, Reed, Sue, and Ben, in their ship, argue over how to get in, but Sue creates a force field, breaching the shield barriers, allowing them to get in. When they got out of their ship, they are met with Gorgon, and two other bodyguards, Karnak and Triton. They ordered the group to surrender, but Ben picks up a fight, Karnak beating him easily. Reed decides to surrender themselves, and all of a sudden, a lot of explosions happen all over Attilan. Reed denies that they are behind this, but the bodyguards refused to listen, taking them in anyway.

Crystal, with Lockjaw, visits Johnny in his cell. They talk for a while, and Crystal complains about Medusa and how overprotective she is of her. She told Johnny about the recent explosions, and who was accused of doing it. Johnny denies that the 3 were behind it, as they were his friends. He thinks Maximus did it due to his suspicious behavior. Crystal believes him and decides to spy on Maximus.

Crystal spies on Maximus in his quarters, where he is talking to a man on a monitor, telling him that he's done his job, and the Fantastic Four are now all on Attilan. The man is revealed to be Doctor Doom, and Maximus asks why the four are so valuable to Doom. Doom is irritated over Maximus' questioning, and Maximus is confused over Doom speaking in third-person. However, Doom told Maximus that he will arrive in Attilan soon, and reminded him to prepare. Maximus finds Crystal spying on him, and Crystal excuses herself by reminding him that the trial of the 3 humans will begin soon. Maximus leaves, and Crystal starts looking through his files.

In the royal hall, Medusa accuses the 3 of committing the bombings. Ben, with his explosive attitude, decides to talk back to Medusa. The Royal Family is enraged over his behavior, and Maximus suggests the 3 be executed publicly, Black Bolt himself executing them. The Royal Family is about to agree, until Crystal and Lockjaw barge into the room and delivers Maximus' files to them. Medusa eventually figures out that all the files are true, and Maximus apologizes to them, before bombing the royal hall and disappearing. Black Bolt, Gorgon, Karnak, and Triton decide to run out to catch Maximus, and Lockjaw is injured. Reed offers to help Lockjaw, and Medusa, although reluctant at first, realizing they didn't commit the bombings, allows them to go to the Inhuman Royal Library to find more information about inhuman gene and heal Lockjaw.

In the library, they find out that the Inhumans were created by the Kree during the Kree-Skrull War as the perfect race of soldiers. They are created with the Inhuman gene, which will react when it comes in contact with a substance called Terrigen. However, the experimentation fails as there are many Inhumans who gain powerful powers and many who didn't gain any. The "superior" inhumans proved to be too strong for the Kree to contain, and the "inferior" Inhumans were worthless to them, so they left them on their own. They went to Earth, but finds out that their diseases and germs there could kill them, so they left and went to the moon. Reed also finds how to treat Lockjaw.

As he goes back to the royal hall, he tells Medusa that he can treat Lockjaw. Just as he was about to gather supplies, screens everywhere starts to flash and show Maximus. Maximus tells the people of Attilan that the royal family let the humans go carelessly, and that they also put dirty bombs in the mines of Attilan which will release diseases and germs deadly to Inhumans to Attilan, killing the entire civilization. However, Maximus tells them that he knows how to stop this, but he can only do it if he gets the throne. He condemns Attilan's caste system, where the people who get their powers exposed by Terrigen live lavish lives, while those who don't are sent to slavery, mining Terrigen on Attilan's mines, revealing that he too was almost sent to slavery, before he was saved by his parents. He proclaims a new age, without the royal family, revealing that there is only 30 minutes left to stop the bomb and demands for Black Bolt and Medusa to be killed, so he can stop the bombs and take the throne.

Reed confronts Medusa over the caste system, and Medusa admits that it is an outdated system she and Black Bolt have been working on to abolish. Reed manages to gather the supplies and treat Lockjaw. Crystal also releases Johnny and he agrees to fight with her. Meanwhile, Medusa allows herself to die in order for the people of Attilan to be safe, but Reed devises a plan to stop the bombs from deactivating, planning to go to the mines alongside Ben, while Medusa is protected by Sue's force fields. Lockjaw transports Reed and Ben to the mines, and they get to work. Meanwhile, Medusa and Sue are reunited with Black Bolt, Gorgon, Karnak, Triton, and Crystal, trying to evade rogue Inhumans trying to catch them.

With the shield barriers down, just outside the moon, Doom is ready to descend on his Doomship on Attilan. He sends his doombots to attack Attilan, while he descends. The doombots started attacking Attilan, and Black Bolt and his group fends them off, while Doom looks out for Reed.

In the mines, Reed is attempting to stop the bombs, while Ben is protecting him from any possible enemies, annoyed by him talking about science. Doom finds him and punches him, revealing himself. Reed is shocked to see Doom alive, but Doom fights with him. As Reed is losing, Ben distracts Doom and fights him, while Reed attempts to stop the bomb. However, after a while, Ben is defeated by Doom, and as Doom is about to get Reed, Black Bolt finds his way to the mines and fights Doom, Reed managing to disarm the bomb. Black Bolt throws Doom away, and he manages to make his way to the Doomship. There, he reveals that he has an alternate plan: a missile containing the same diseases and germs that he is about to drop on Attilan. However, Black Bolt jumps on the Doomship, speaking. His voice releases a hypersonic blast, destroying the missile and the Doomship, while Doom escapes on an escape bot, and the Doombots are deactivated. Black Bolt confronts Maximus in the town hall and Maximus is arrested.

A few hours later, the Inhumans and Fantastic Four talk, and Medusa reveals that they will work on abolishing the caste system. Johnny embraces the four, while Medusa and Crystal makes peace. However, Crystal wants to go to earth with Johnny, and Medusa is worried that the diseases and germs will kill her
However, Reed tells them that he can create a suit so Crystal can be safe. Black Bolt agrees, as long as Crystal studies humanity to truly see if their ancestors are wrong about them. She bids farewell to Black Bolt and Medusa, and leaves to grab dinner on earth along with the four. A few hours later, the four, Crystal, and Alicia grab dinner at a restaurant as they talk about the recent events.

In the first post-credits scene, Crystal shows Johnny her new suit, created by Reed, revealing they are now dating.

In the second post-credits scene, Kingpin is interrogated in prison by New York's District Attorney, Blake Tower over Jonathan Drew's involvement in the Oscorp Incident. Kingpin mocks Drew for being free while he is jailed, and reveals everything about Drew's involvement. He also reveals that Drew created a formula, that when injected to someone, could make them stronger than a symbiote. The formula is tested on someone, creating immense pain for them, outcasting them from humanity, who is revealed to be Drew's daughter, Jessica.
