Strange Tales #131
The Bouncing Ball of Doom!
When the Human Torch and Thing are asked to stop some crooks who just robbed a bank, they are unaware that this is yet another crime planned by the Mad Thinker. This time to deal with any members of the Fantastic Four who may interfere with his plans, the Thinker has created a giant remote control "Bouncing ball" to attack his foes with. Setting it loose on the two heroes, they are disorientated by the device at first, but the Torch eventually destroys it with his flame powers, and the Thing nabs the bank robbers, foiling the Thinker's plot.
