Faster Than the Space Shuttle.

Doctor Doom is testing his latest invention, a machine that sucks fear out of people. His plan? Use the fear he collects as a weapon against the Fantastic Four. His henchmen will strap you into a seat, blast you into the sky and then—without a second to catch your breath—hurl you back down with a face-melting force stronger than gravity itself.
