    Fantastic Four

    Team » Fantastic Four appears in 5741 issues.

    An intrepid group of astronauts: Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm originally received their powers after being exposed to an immense amount of cosmic radiation during a trip into space. Mutated and given strange powers by this exposure, they became the Fantastic Four and dedicated their abilities to the good of humanity.

    Fantastic Four should change their name. Any suggestions?

    The name of their group limits to four members only. and if they'll add more members, it's kinda lame that they still call themselves the Fantastic Four.

    If they'll continue to use "Fantastic Four" name, they will never beat Avengers and X-Men popularity.

    I want FF to change their name cos they seem to be the only team who has the chance of beating Avengers and X-Men popularity.

    So for me, they should change their name, which means changing their costumes too. Keep the original members, then add more members.

    so what team name would you suggest?

    and please mention 4-6 characters you want to be part of the team. and don't include those who have been current members of the Avengers and X-men.

    They already kinda went to "Future Foundation" for the extended cast. Are you not a fan of that name?

    She's Johnny Storm's chosen member in a replacement FF. She's just a girl he was with the night before and for some reason she's been plonked in a Thing like power suit and is a member of the FF now. According to Fraction, "She's the regular person, she's the human, she's the overwhelmed 'Whaaa?' of it all," said Fraction."

    Kill me now. I'm so glad I'm dropping this after Hickman leaves. Fraction's just not the right writer for this title.

    It's a new character. She's apparently a "celebutante" who Johnny was spending the night with before the original FF had to go on a mission, so when Reed asked him who he selected as a "backup" for while they were gone he was like "oh, uh, she'll do," because he's Johnny and doesn't care. So she's in a Thing robot suit and is going by "Miss Thing" or "Lady Thing" or something.

    @jhazzroucher: What's wrong with the names Fantastic Four or the Future Foundation? The gimmick behind them is that they're a family. They're not comprised of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, a gathering of mutants or outcasts. They're a tightly knit group that goes on extraordinary adventures. For all their arguments, their relationships are definitely as appealing as the relationships in the Avengers or X-Men, maybe even more so.

    Anyway, since I can;t think of a good team name yet, I'll just post the 6 characters I'd want to be part of the team.

    1. Darkhawk

    2. Prime (from Malibu Comics)

    3. Pressure (from Malibu Comics)

    4. She-Hulk

    5. Squirrel Girl

    6. still thinking. : )

    the "Four" is kinda limited especially that they're planning to add more members and Future Foundation doesn't sound like a team name.

    It really more or less applies to the main family, that is Reed, Sue, Ben and Johnny. They're not the Avengers or the X-Men so they shouldn't have to expand that much. Besides the Future Foundation is a school, not a team. That's what makes them different from other superhero teams. The FF was designed to be an organisation to hone young geniuses, not to save the world on a daily basis. Renaming them would detract from the defining feature of the team.

    also they shouldn't change their name or add new members or anything like that...the Fantastic Four isn't a team in the general sense...they're a family...the only reason why Spider-man was allowed to join is because he's like a member of their extended family...that's the problem I have with the replacement team in FF..Ant-Man and Miss Thing just don't belong....they have no connection to the original FF...Spider-man should have been in there along with some like Black Panther...Miss Thing is just redundant when you have She Hulk on the team

    but we always hear substitutes in FF. I would prefer the FF still on the issue with more members.

    If they want to expand they can just call it Fantastic Force.

    Put eight members.

    • Reed
    • Sue
    • Johnny
    • Ben
    • Black Panther
    • Storm
    • Medusa
    • Ant Man "Lang"

    I wanted to use all former FF members, but Ant Man is joining and is a good fit.

    Oh, i was thinking maybe Blood1991 just likes Lang more than Pym and i wanted to know more because Pym seems to be a more interesting character than Lang IMO.

    @jhazzroucher: I think Pym is more interesting also. I was disappointed then they brought him back and killed off his more interesting daughter. 
    I think they brought him back because he is rumored to be the one in the Ant-Man movie. The rumor is they are adapting the To Steal an Ant-Man story. Which is basically how he became Ant-Man.

    @Fuchsia_Nightingale: It is kinda ridiculous too, I mean it is four characters. It shouldn't be to hard to at least give them a panel in an event like AVX. Like BP and Iron Man call the FF and Reed and Sue refuse to be involved or are running PF scans. The world is freakin ending and they aren't doing anything lol.

    Oh you, you I like.

    Yes we would see Cap parading around Disney characters while Iron Man, Hawkeye, Thor, Hulk, and Black Widow fight Micky Mouse Skrulls. I can't wait to see this as the bases for the third movie and theme park ride.

    Not quite the same idea, but yes the series did not last long.

    Not feelin Ghost Rider, and I thought about adding Crystal, but she is preoccupied with space marriage, but I wanna hear Medusa's excuse before I jump on that.

    So I'd add Crystal depending on Medusa's reason for being on Earth.

    @jhazzroucher: He is joining the Future Foundation "a Fantastic Four spin off title", Pym should be an Avenger, but I really can't say I like one over the other.

    Their name shouldn't be changed a new members shouldn't be added. Anyone who thinks otherwise is missing the spirit of the Fantastic Four.

    @sesquipedalophobe: Answered on first page:

    It's a new character. She's apparently a "celebutante" who Johnny was spending the night with before the original FF had to go on a mission, so when Reed asked him who he selected as a "backup" for while they were gone he was like "oh, uh, she'll do," because he's Johnny and doesn't care. So she's in a Thing robot suit and is going by "Miss Thing" or "Lady Thing" or something.

    @fodigg: Thanks. Miss Thing sounds too sexist. They should change it to the Thang.
