This was designed by Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic himself. This was the transportation before they were a super-powered group.
The Fantastic-Car Mk I is stored on the top floor of the Baxter Building. A mechanical elevator opens on the roof to land and deploy the flying machine. The car splits into four different pieces so each member can use the car separately. The front part is for Mister Fantastic, the rear is the Human Torch and the Thing and Invisible Woman ride in center.
