The Warehouse, formerly known as Pier 4, once served as a temporary headquarters for the Fantastic Four. It was eventually destroyed by the villain Diablo, after which the Baxter Building was rebuilt and the team returned to their traditional base of operations.
Reed Richards eventually had the structure rebuilt as a storage facility, spare laboratory, and hangar. Over time, it fell into disuse. Recently, Ben Grimm gave Positron access to the building to serve as the PCs' gathering place.
The Warehouse contains a lot of the FF's old equipment, with Peter still exploring all the nooks and crannies. In game terms, he has the following features unlocked:
- a supercomputer
- surveillance equipment
- a teleportal
- a weapon of last resort
- security systems
- simple robots (H.E.R.B.I.E.s, of course!)
It has also been established that the Warehouse has several old escape tunnels that Reed Richards installed years ago and which are only known to a handful of people. Each contains an escape craft that can carry occupants to safety in a matter of moments. They lead to:
- Avengers Museum (the old Avengers Mansion). The team used this tunnel to escape the Hydra attack on the warehouse, causing damage as they crashed through the sealed-over exit. - An island in the New York harbour. This tunnel is completely flooded due to the rising sea levels - The Baster Building - An old warehouse in Queens that the FF used to own.
