After an initial defeat by the Marvel Family, Sivana escapes by kidnapping Uncle Dudley (Uncle Marvel). Sivana then uses a device to tap into Uncle Dudley’s vivid dreams about mythological creators to bring a new iteration of the Monster Society to life, featuring real historical and mythological monsters (including Bluebeard and King Kull).
