Dum Dum Dugan

...

Dum Dum Dugan.

Dum Dum Dugan.

Dum Dum.

It was Dum Dum, yeah.

The Batons launch their own ship for the moon base in a desperate attempt to intercept the craft before it can fire.

Down in Salt Lake City, Dum Dum Dugan and Gabe Jones arrive to take command of the National Guard units being deployed, but hold their fire so as not to risk Rob Takaguchi in Red Ronin.

Jimmy Woo and Tamara show up as well to inform Dugan of the conflict brewing over the moon, in which the Baten commander manages to severely damage the Megan craft at the cost of the lives of all the Batens on the moon base.

But the crippled Megan ship presses onward to fire its ray just before exploding.

The tide of battle is already turning as the bladed tail of Rihan manages to decapitate Red Ronin, sending the head with Rob inside flying.

And when the Energex ray hits, the Mega Monsters grow even larger and more powerful, dwarfing Godzilla.

Which leads us into issue 14, Mega Monsters Part 3, The Super Beasts.

As Dugan and Gabe run interference, Jimmy Woo and Tamron recover the unconscious Rob from the wrecked robot head.

Baron Strucker was a member of this.

Uh, d- uh, Dugan, Timothy Dugan from S.H.I.E.L.D., Dum Dum Dugan.

And, uh, there's a Kraken, and that's about it.

Victor, another Leviathan.

In classic comic book fashion, the organization was assembled by a time traveling Leonardo da Vinci who assigned its membership based on the 12 signs of the zodiac.

Its memberships include people such as Nick Fury, Dum Dum Dugan, Baron Wolfgang von Strucker, and various others as well.

The design of the O looks particularly close to the Great Wheel's circular symbol, and there are three missing sections which correspond to Aries, Virgo, and Scorpio in the comic book logo design.

So those gaps might represent missing members, secret identities, po- positions waiting to be filled.

... that gathered mem- that gathered members from around the world, some from criminal organizations, some from secret organizations.

So you had people like Nick Fury and Wolfgang von Strucker, Dum Dum Dugan, et cetera, et cetera.

And they were basically a secret underground council to make sure that the world's safe even if they're coming from different points of view.

Because even an evil megalomaniac doesn't want the world to blow up.

Yeah.

Libra, Dum Dum Dugan.

Pisces, Shoji Soma is the leader of The Hand.

Taurus, Cornelius Van Lunt.

But on this original team, you had the, uh, original Nick Fury before he was race-bent with Samuel Jackson in the, um, in the Ultimate storyline.

So Nick Fury was a member, and then also Dum Dum Dugan, who of course was from the early Captain America movies.

So that actor's still around, so you might be able to, to bring in those characters as well.

I could certainly see that.

They did a Gabriel Jones.

And Dum Dum Dugan's in one of those, I think.

Dum Dum Dugan's in, in at least two of the shows.

But, but still Spider-Man having such a direct connection with it was odd in my opinion.

Yeah.

[ríe] Never have I ever wanted to go to bed with a guy whose name sounds like slogan.

Oh, yeah, Dum Dum Dugan.

Yeah, I do wanna bang that guy.

Go.

A bunch of jets from S.H.I.E.L.D. go there.

And sure enough, here's Nick Fury and Dum Dum Dugan in one of them calling the Fantastic Four down to land.

And meanwhile, we cut to...

So this whole issue, this whole four-parter that we're beginning here very much speaks to the biggest unsolved mystery in Fantastic Four history or the biggest, perhaps, narrative inconsistency in Fantastic Four history.
