When
an experimental spacecraft is bathed in mysterious cosmic rays beyond
Earth's atmosphere, the four members of the crew - Reed
Richards, Ben Grimm,
Susan Storm and Johnny
Storm - are gifted with remarkable powers. From that
day forward, this quartet are known as... the Fantastic
Four!
Operating out of the Baxter Building in New York under the scrutiny
of SHIELD, the team were reduced to a membership of three a while back
when the troubled Ben departed in violence and acrimony. |
FANTASTIC FOUR |
|
 |
Blessed
with both a genius intellect and a romantic imagination, Reed
Richards is an inventor of the improbable and an explorer
of the impossible. As Mister Fantastic,
his body is highly malleable at a cellular level, allowing him to stretch
and contort to a remarkable degree - although in recent times, as has
been the case on occasion in the past, his powers have been fluctuating
alarmingly. He is married to Susan and is father to two children, Franklin
and Valeria.

MISTER
FANTASTIC |
|
 |
Married
young, and rather shy and deferential to her husband Reed during her
early tenure with the team, Susan Storm-Richards
soon matured into a formidable heroine in her own right.
As the Invisible Woman
she can manipulate wavelengths of light to render herself or other objects
invisible, and can also project powerful forcefields and projectiles
of psionic energy, giving credence to the theory that she's the most
powerful member of the team. She is mother to Franklin and Valeria and
sister to Johnny. |
INVISIBLE
WOMAN |
|
 |
Arrogant,
rash, yet still somehow infectiously charming, Johnny
Storm is the original hot-head - so it's only natural
that, as the Human Torch,
he's able to generate and manipulate a field of fiery, superheated plasma
about his body, and to employ the thrust of this flame to enable him
to fly. With the departure of his friend and long-standing foil Ben,
Johnny has been forced to mature in recent times, though he's still
prone to moments of adolescent petulance and prides himself as a ladies'
man. |
THE
HUMAN TORCH |
|
 |
When
accomplished attorney Jennifer Walters
was forced to accept a life-saving blood transfusion from her cousin
Bruce Banner - the Incredible Hulk - she too was biologically altered
by this exposure to gamma radiation. Now, as the emerald amazon known
as the She-Hulk, Jen possesses
exceptionally enhanced strength, endurance and resistance to harm; and
yet curiously, in her human persona, she suffers from low self-esteem.
Jen recently left the West Coast Avengers following a series of unfortunate
events. |
