Fantastic Four | Comics

Brilliant scientist Reed Richards had designed an experimental rocket shuttle on his own which was well capable of space traveling. Instead his financiers withdraw their interests on his project and in an act of desperation; Reed decides to run an unauthorized test flight into other star systems.

His girlfriend Susan Storm and her impatient younger brother Johnny Storm tag along in this voyage and Reed’s old friend Ben Grimm joined as their pilot in this adventurous journey to space. Everything was going fine until they were unexpectedly exposed to an immeasurable amount of cosmic radiation. The mission is aborted with the rocket gone straight to California woods, crush landing there.

Surprisingly Reed and his crews were all intact except for the fact that their DNA has been altered to the cellular level by cosmic radiation. It gave Reed the power to stretch his body at will (later calling himself Mr. Fantastic), Susan could turn herself invisible and generate force fields (dubbing herself as Invisible Girl) and Johnny can turn himself into a living torch (calling himself Human Torch).

Ben got the worst effect of the radiation as he is turned into an orange colored being with rocky skin (calling him The Thing). Thus the team of Fantastic Four is formed and a new era of family adventure has begun. They've found themselves up against Doctor Doom, The Skrulls, Annihilus, Mole Man, the planet eater; Galactus and his herald Silver Surfer as well as other enemies.

Fantastic Four is a famous comic book series from Marvel Comics, created by Stan Lee (Amazing Spider-Man, Doctor Strange) and Jack Kirby (Black Panther, New Gods) in 1961. It was Marvel’s first attempt to create a superhero team for the comics and unlike The Avengers, the Fantastic Four are more than a family than a team of superheroes. The popularity of the comic led to two live action movies; Fantastic Four (2005) and Fantastic Four – Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007), as well as a few video games too.
