    Fantastic Four

    Team » Fantastic Four appears in 5740 issues.

    An intrepid group of astronauts: Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm originally received their powers after being exposed to an immense amount of cosmic radiation during a trip into space. Mutated and given strange powers by this exposure, they became the Fantastic Four and dedicated their abilities to the good of humanity.

    Would The Fantastic For fit better in Dc?

    Nope, They are pretty much the foundation of the modern Marvel Universe whether X and Avengers fans admit it or not.

    FF and Spider-Man to me has been marvels gateway comic. That's the comic that most started with that led to the X-Men and avengers.

    You can't really make that call since they've earned their place for over 40 years.

    However, they've always been the family-sized Justice League in the MU, more than Avengers IMO.

    Marvel was actually considering getting out of the Super hero genre all together until F4 and Spider-man became a hit.

    No. The FF fits better right where they are - in the Marvel Universe.

    I think the FF is lost in the Marvel Universe shuffle. Did they even get an Infinity tie-in?

    They could fit well in DC but DC would make sure Batmans smarter than Reed and ruin it.

    I don't think they would fit well in DC to be honest, they are a rather campy group of heroes and their stories reflect that and DC aren't going for those type of stories anymore (or at least 98% of the stories aren't). In the Silver Age, yes but not now.

    @wavemotioncannon: I doubt it. That's just what Super Bat Fan boys say. Batman is smart but hardly a world class scientist. He has admitted that Characters like the Atom and Lex Luthor are both smarter then him. Mr Fantastic could keep a convo with him but characters like the Atom would be one of his geeky friends.

    I do hate how Marvel has treated them lately. They are one of the pillars of the Marvel Universe and are the reason anyone cares about cosmic marvel. Without thr F4 we wouldnt have Skrulls, kree, or the Negative Zone. Both Galactus and Silver Surfer first appeared in Fantastic Four as did Black Panther and countless other beloved Marvel characters.

    Also, without the FF, we wouldn't have Avengers, Annihilators, GotG, etc.

    This is because the main reason that Marvel made the FF was because they were inspired by DC's Justice League to make a team of superheroes. So if they hadn't gotten success from the FF, then they wouldn't have decided to make more superhero teams like the Avengers. And Spider-Man first appeared in the FF as well.

    Spider-man first appeared in Amazing Fantasy, it was an anthology book and was only allowed in because the book was already canceled and just needed a final issue to be finished.

    Nope. The FF should be just as important as the X-Men or the Avengers.

    @jake_fury: I kind of feel like the should be more important than the X-Men, remember it was Reed Richards who figured out the whole Phoenix/Jean Grey thing in the first place. Which means the F4 were the front runners on figuring out most of the major world threatening menaces that current Marvel keeps desperately retreading.

    @jphu8414: I agree. I feel that it is because Marvel doesn't own the movie rights so they don't promote them as much they are doing with the Avengers recently.

    Fantastic Four is too important for Marvel. They were responsible for bringing Marvel back into the superhero comic genre and the introduction of many important DC characters like Dr. Doom, Silver Surfer, Black Panther, the reintroduction of Namor. I know there is a lot more, but so many important introductions happened because of the Fantastic Four. You can't take them away from the Marvel universe without seriously changing it.

    The f4 are the centre of marvel if you think about it. They have reed Richards who is able to defeat galactus, johnny who is a herald, sue and ben who are just good people who help any team. Te f4 are the avengers go to if they are screwed basically.

    Cap: tony galactus is coming we're screw

    Tony: *get phone out* hi reed yeah it's tony galactus Is coming can the f4 handle it? Thanks reed you guys rock
