History:

(Marvel Adventures: Fantastic Four#25 (fb) - BTS) - The Fantastic Four formed on Earth-200784 with Dr. Doom being the nemesis of the heroic quartet. The two opponents were involved in many fights, although the Latverian foe seemed less trained in devising new song lyrics.

(Marvel Adventures: Fantastic Four#25) - Continuing his random but accidental jaunts across other alternate Earths, Johnny Storm of Earth-20051 jumped from Earth-200783 into this reality using Reed Richards' Probability Engine. Just as he arrived, the alarms sounded, signaling another attack by Dr. Doom and his Doombots. Johnny Storm joined his counterparts in rushing to the showdown, but was stunned as music filled the air, and the two warring parties of this alternate Earth engaged in diabolical song and rhyming lyrics in an effort to defeat the other. However, the intense music and singing generated such strong sound vibrations that they triggered a vibrational shift, causing the Human Torch of Earth-20051 to transdimensionally jump again.

   This Earth likely diverged when musicals started being treated seriously. This is one alternate Earth that is way too scary.

   The natives of this Earth seemed less susceptible to dimensional jaunts through vibrational attunement. 

   Curiously enough, this reality's Human Torch was absent when Johnny Storm of Earth-20051 appeared.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Earth-20074 has hopefully no known connections to:

• Earth-772, Spider-Man joined the Fantastic Four @ What If I#1
• or any other lternate Earth

Dr. Doom

As in so many other alternate realities, Dr. Doom was the Fantastic Four's oft-thwarted nemesis and would attack the fab four in their home. He commanded an army of dancing and singing Doombots. Dr. Doom attacked with a small army of Doombots when Johnny Storm of Earth-20051 appeared. He immediately tackled the team with rhyming lyrics but was punched by the Thing; the armored villain quickly recovered to launch a song against the Invisible Woman. However, the singing duels with Dr. Doom were so powerful that they triggered intense vibrations that caused Johnny Storm to leave this reality.

Fantastic Four

The Fantastic Four comprised the same standard members, outfits and powers as on many other alternate Earths: Ben Grimm, Reed Richards, Johnny Storm and Susan Storm. They rushed into battle with Dr. Doom's latest attack, unaware that Johnny Storm of Earth-20051 was unwittingly among them. They had their battle songs ready for dueling, but the Invisible Woman's singing contributed to the foreign Johnny Storm leaving this Earth.
