But when his back was turned, the Invisible Girl tried to sneak out of his apartment but was tripped when he manipulated a puppet of her. While the four were distracted, Masters used a puppet of the personal trustee of the warden of the state prison to break out the prison’s inmates and have them riot. While she was asleep, Masters dressed up Alicia like her to fool the rest of the Fantastic Four and sent a controlled Thing and his blind stepdaughter to the Baxter Building. Before Susan could do anything, Masters put gasmasks on himself, his stepdaughter, and the Thing, and flooded the room with ether to knock out the Invisible Girl. When he arrived, Masters’ stepdaughter, Alicia, sensed the presence of another person and unwittingly alerted her stepfather that the Invisible Girl had followed the Thing. Infuriated, he made a puppet of the Thing and used it to force him to come to his apartment. When Masters, then calling himself the Puppet Master, felt his hands burn as he touched the puppet he knew that the Torch had to be involved. But the Human Torch flew by at the same time and spotted the man and flew in to save him. In his first display of power, he controlled a man to climb up a bridge in New York City and throw himself to his death. Phillip Masters was a normal puppeteer until he found a clump of radioactive clay that he could use to fashion into puppets of people in order to control them.
