Occasionally justified by him feeling tired or very hungry after using extremely hot flames. And then there's the part about his body and his powers both needing oxygen to function.

Johnny generally acts like a teenager on hormonal overdrive, but he's generally portrayed as a skilled mechanic at the very least, and a competent planner at his best. And then with the return of Johnny about a year later, "Fantastic Four" was relaunched and the team began using the name with redesigned FF uniforms; whilst the "FF" series began focusing on Franklin, Val & the rest of the kids at the Baxter Building.

Notably, all four members of the team had been members of different factions of The Avengers at one point or another, with Reed and Sue being part of the original team, Ben being part of both the west coast team and the New Avengers, and Johnny being part of the Avengers Unity Squad. Tulpa: An alternative and fantastical origin story for Doctor Doom had Mr. Fantastic create him as one of these. Science Hero's Babe Assistant: Sue was basically this for Dr. Reed Richards. While not the only non-scientist on the team, she existed primarily to need rescuing and be ignored by Reed in favor of whatever experiment he was obsessed with at that moment. This was before taking so many levels in badass she's now one of the most powerful characters in the Marvel universe.

Luke Cage

Mundane Made Awesome: A recurring joke about the characters is that they'll go into space or another universe for picnics, or for coffee. Deception Non-Compliance: In one issue, Reed Richards is going along seemingly willingly with a Skrull Sue imposter. When he passes by the robot secretary the FF used at the time, he tells her to "tell it to the Marines," which she looks up in an idiom database and discovers it means he's lying. Later that night, Richards is telling his children about the adventure he had that day. Valeria does not worry about it, but Franklin asks about the little boy in the Wizard's lab, asking if Richards will help him, saying "You have to try, right?"

Fantastic Four by Jonathan Hickman: The Complete Collection

Launched in 1998, the Marvel Knights Imprint featured standalone material set within the Marvel Universe (Earth-616). Despite that fact, the first Fantastic Four story published under this label in 2001 is considered out of continuity. But we’re still putting it here, as it is Grant Morrison’s take on the First Family, putting them through hell during four issues. He appears to be quite fond of A.I.M., as the organization and its agents have regularly appeared to be a thorn in the main characters' sides throughout his runs. Elite Four: The eponymous group are four humans that made a daring venture into space, where exposure to cosmic radiation gave them superpowers. Reed Richards, "Mister Fantastic," is the team leader and also The Smart Guy; Ben Grimm, "The Thing," is The Big Guy; Johnny Storm, "The Human Torch," is the Lovable Rogue / wildcard of the group; and Susan Richards, "The Invisible Woman," used to be a frequent Damsel in Distress, until John Byrne's run on the series promoted her to The Lancer. Ant-Man (Scott Lang) is part of the team during FF #384-408 (then acts as a supporting player until issue #416)Lightning Bruiser: The Thing is just as agile and well-trained in martial arts as he was before his transformation, lots of people forget that. Woe on them. Court Room Episode: Issue #262 is a follow-up on a story arc seen in Issues #242-244 where Galactus comes to Earth to die. Interestingly, this was spurred behind-the-scenes from Chris Claremont having the Fantastic Four make a brief appearance in Uncanny X-Men #167 to have Majestrix Lilandra of the Shi'ar Emprie call out Reed for saving Galactus from death. Not only was this appearance unauthorised by then-current FF writer John Byrne, he found the scene to come across as a " Take That!" towards his writing and complained to then-Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter about it. With Assistant Editor's Month coming up, Byrne decided to make an entire issue inspired by the X-Men appearance. Traditionally, the Fantastic Four are Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic), scientific genius and leader; Susan “Sue” Storm (Invisible Woman), Reed’s partner and co-leader; Johnny Storm (The Human Torch), Sue’s little brother; and Ben Grimm (The Thing), pilot and best friend. They all gained superpowers following exposure to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to outer space.

Medusa

The second issue prevents an alien invasion, and by the end of it we have three alien prisoners on Earth. The potential of that would be awesome: they can be interrogated to no end to get technology ideas from them (that if they didn't keep any actual alien devices with them), and their alien biology would open whole new fields of science (no need to get to an Alien Autopsy, just some useless samples of hair and nails would be an incredible thing to analyze). But no: Reed simply hypnotized them to think they are cows, and good riddance. The Notable Numeral: The eponymous heroes and their enemies The Frightful Four, headed by the Wizard. Spider-Man's close relationship with the Fantastic Four has had him serve as this multiple times well before being inducted into the group proper as the Future Foundation. He would later lead a modified incarnation of the team (simply referred to as the "New Fantastic Four") comprised of himself, the Hulk, Wolverine and Ghost Rider (Danny Ketch) * Was replaced with Iron Man in a modern-day "What If?" story., which in turn saw some of their successors and counterparts (like X-23, Amadeus Cho, Gwen Stacy and Robbie Reyes) form their own variants for certain occasions. With writer James Robinson and artist Leonard, Marvel’s first family heads towards their darkest hour, and the Marvel Universe towards its end… Noodle Incident: In the 2018 relaunch, it's idly revealed that Iceman became a member of the Fantastic Four. Though the editor's note says that it's a story for another time, all that's known about it is that it was a spur of the moment thing and that Johnny considers it "non-canon".
