Whatever life throws at us, we'll face it together. As a family.

The Fantastic Four is a superhero team from Marvel Comics that is based in New York City. Their base of operation is the Baxter Building. The team is made up of Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and The Thing. Together they battle the evil ruler Doctor Doom. Other enemies are Mole Man and the Skrulls.

The Fantastic Four were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.

Background

There are various origin stories for the Fantastic Four, but this is the basic one. The Fantastic Four was a team of scientists and astronauts who were doing an experiment in Space. An accident on return to Earth happened. The ship traveled through a cosmic storm and exposed the team to the storm’s rays of energy, with each crew member given fantastic super powers and abilities.

The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

In "Ultron-5", Red Ghost with his Super-Apes manages to infiltrates to the home of the Fantastic Four. But arriving he found Black Panther and Hulk, who easily defeat him and his Super-Apes.

In "The Private War of Doctor Doom", The Thing and the Human Torch went to the Avengers Mansion to play cards. Meanwhile, Janet and Tony went to visit Sue and Reed. Doom uses these meetings to attack them simultaneously. Reed did not understand why Doom attack them knowing that they were accompanied by the Avengers. After a fierce battle, Doom decided to release Janet and Sue. It is revealed at the end that the Invisible Woman was replaced by a Skrull.

When the Skrull invasion began, the Invisible Woman (Skrull) sent the Baxter Building to another dimension but the Real Invisible Woman could enter that dimension and return it to its place of origin.

Trivia

  • The movie rights to the Fantastic Four were originally held by 21st Century Fox. Because of this, the Fantastic Four could not be implemented into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios got the rights back when The Walt Disney Company purchased the assets of 21st Century Fox in March 2019.
    • However, before 21st Century Fox aquired the film rights in 2002, they were held by Bernd Eichinger of Constantin Film during the 1990s. To maintain the rights, Eichinger produced a low-budget Fantastic Four film that was never intended for a theatrical release.
  • Benjamin Grimm/Thing is the only member of the team who is not related to the other heroes.
  • The Fantastic Four is Marvel Comics first superhero team, setting a precedent for the formation of other teams like the X-Men and the Avengers. They are one of the most recognizable and influential comic book groups.
