New Team Maneuver
For this adventure, the team can choose to use a new team
maneuver. This must be chosen by the team at the beginning
of the adventure.

SPOILERS AHEAD!
From this point forward, the text is intended for Narrators
only. Players reading past this point threaten to spoil some
of the fun and surprises in store.

WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON

Welcome, Narrator! Here is what’s happening behind the
scenes in this adventure.
▶ Giganto, one of Mole Man’s monsters, is being manip-
ulated. A device has been attached under his scales
(making it difficult to find) that causes the gigantic
creature to go berserk and attack the surface world.
▶ The Fantastic Four are drawn to the scene and can
pursue Giganto into Subterranea, the territory of
the Mole Man.
▶ The Mole Man is unaware this has happened and
resents any intrusion. However, he understands this is
not how Giganto would normally act.
▶ The players can bargain with Mole Man or fight him.

story plays out.
