Synopsis for "The Evil Return of the Monster Society"

Sivana reads in the newspaper about a crook whom Uncle Marvel just captured, and rages about the persecution of his peers. To her surprise, Georgia finds Mister Mind in her apple, who visits his old ally with the idea of resurrecting the Monster Society of Evil. The villainous family teams up with Mind and soon Ibac also arrives, and they set out to destroy the Marvels with a new and improved Death Ray. The Monster Society challenges the Marvels who quickly arrive to battle, even Uncle Marvel who has been totally absorbed in reading about mythology for some time now. Mister Mind unleashes the death ray that transmits all their evil energy onto the targets, but the Marvels negate it by thinking about positive things, the Monster Society is beaten, but not defeated as the clumsy uncle gets kidnapped by Sivana during the tussle. Back in his HQ Sivana kicks in frustration the small model of Mind’s Death Ray, and the mind-reading cap of the machine slips into the head of Uncle Marvel, who has nightmares about the creatures he read about, and Sivana so the machine produces a ‘dream image’ of mythological creatures with the head of Sivana. The rest of the Marvels are unable to cope with the intangible images, but Billy has an idea, he sends Freddy to the library to fetch a book about them, and he with Mary distracts Sivana with a false surrender, so Marvel Jr. has time to switch the book in Uncle’s hand. The machine now creates dream images of the Marvels, which can defeat the monsters, even Uncle getting a piece of the super-action
