Fantastic Four was my first favorite team, and will always be my favorite team. Even more so then X-Men, Avengers or Justice League, I like the fact that they work together as a family unit.
Anyways, after saying all that, my question is, are there any other existing teams in the Marvel universe that was molded after the Fantastic Four?
For those of you who care, here's sort of a chart that shows my comparisons. I put it in in a spoiler block, so that if you don't want to look at it, you won't see it.
Fantastic Four-------Soviet Super-Soldiers-----Bogartyri---------------U-Foes--------X-Men---------Panther's Pride-----Spider-Devils-----Inhumans--------Alpha Flight-----Cross Gendered
Mr. Fantastic----------Crimson Dynamo V-------Doctor Volkh-----------Vector--------Cyclops--------Black Panther-------Daredevil----------Black Bolt-------Guardian---------Lyja
Invisible Woman-----Darkstar-----------------------Zvezda Dennista-----Vapor--------Jean Grey-----Storm------------------Elektra-------------Medusa----------Aurora------------Invisible Man
Thing--------------------Ursa Major-------------------Svyatogor---------------Ironclad-----Beast-----------Luke Cage------------Lizard--------------Devlor------------Sasquatch-------She-Hulk
Human Torch---------Vanguard---------------------Mikula-------------------X-Ray--------Iceman---------Vibraxas---------------Spider-Man-------Quicksilver-----Northstar---------Firestar
Sometimes the Invisible Woman match is either the girlfriend or wife of the Mr. Fantastic match.
Sometimes the Human Torch match is the brother of the Invisible Woman match
Though it's lineup consists of more than just four, the Fantastic Four was one of the Guardian's inspirations to create Alpha Flight
Each member of Panther's Pride has actually been a member of the Fantastic Four in some way (Black Panther, Storm & Luke Cage have ll been members of the Fantastic Four at sometime, and Vibraxas was a member of the Fantastic Force)
