The Birth of a Legend

The Fantastic Four debuted in Fantastic Four #1 in November 1961. The issue introduced the world to Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm, four astronauts who were exposed to cosmic rays during a space mission. The cosmic rays granted the astronauts superpowers, transforming them into Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, and Thing.

The Fantastic Four's origin story was groundbreaking for its time. Unlike previous superhero teams, the Fantastic Four were not simply crime-fighters. They were a family, with all the complexities and relationships that come with it. This made them relatable to readers in a way that other superheroes were not.

The Fantastic Four's Greatest Adventures

Over the years, the Fantastic Four have faced countless challenges, from the Mole Man to Doctor Doom to Galactus. But through it all, they have remained a united force, always fighting for what is right.

Some of the Fantastic Four's most iconic adventures include:

• The Galactus Trilogy (Fantastic Four #48-50): The Fantastic Four face off against the planet-eating Galactus and his herald, Silver Surfer.
• The Kree-Skrull War (Fantastic Four #89-92): The Fantastic Four are caught in the middle of a war between the Kree and Skrull empires.
• The Coming of Galactus (Fantastic Four #242-244): Galactus returns to Earth, and the Fantastic Four must find a way to stop him before he destroys the planet.
• The Negative Zone (Fantastic Four #51-52): The Fantastic Four are trapped in the Negative Zone, a dangerous dimension filled with strange creatures and deadly traps.
• The Secret Wars (Marvel Super-Heroes Secret Wars #1-12): The Fantastic Four join forces with other superheroes to fight against the villainous Beyonder in a battle for the universe.
