Information
the Fantastic Four is a fictional superhero team
appearing in American comic books published by
Marvel Comics, the group debuted in
The Fantastic Four #1 (cover dated Nov. 1961),
which helped to usher in a new level of
realism in the medium, the Fantastic Four
was the first superhero team created by
editor/co-plotter Stan Lee and
artist/co-plotter Jack Kirby
who developed a collaborative approach
to creating comics with this title that
they would use from then on

the four individuals traditionally associated
with the Fantastic Four who gained superpowers
after exposure to cosmic rays
during a scientific mission to outer space are:
- Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards),
a scientific genius and the leader of the group
who can stretch his body into incredible
lengths and shapes,

- the Invisible Woman (Susan "Sue" Storm),
who eventually married Reed and who can render
herself invisible and later project powerful
invisible force fields,

- the Human Torch (Johnny Storm), Sue's younger
brother,who can generate flames, surround himself
with them and fly

- the monstrous Thing (Ben Grimm), their grumpy
but benevolent friend, a former college
football star and Reed's college roommate
as well as a good pilot, who possesses
tremendous superhuman strength, durability
and endurance due to the nature of
his stone-like flesh

since their original 1961 introduction,
the Fantastic Four have been portrayed
as a somewhat dysfunctional, yet loving,
family, breaking convention with other
comic book archetypes of the time,
they would squabble and hold grudges
both deep and petty and eschewed anonymity
or secret identities in favor of celebrity status

the team is also well known for its recurring
encounters with characters such as the
villainous monarch Doctor Doom,
the planet-devouring Galactus,
the sea-dwelling prince Namor,
the spacefaring Silver Surfer
and the shape-changing alien Skrulls
