Will Jeff Lemire still work at Marvel or is he done there ??
Also, is that description in the OP really published by DC ?? Are they really openly saying they are copying the Fantastic Four ??
Finally, couldn´t Marvel sue them ?? They are literally copying them.
Lemire only said that he was going to try to recapture the feeling of Lee/Kirby run of FF. Being inspired by them doesn't really inflict any copyright more so because the characters are really different.
Also this is phrased from what Lemire said on the conference so DC didn't really publish that description, It's from someone that was on the panel.
Of course not, being inspired doesn´t inflict any copyright, but this is a straight copy from the Fantastic Four that I think it´s within the sue territory, it´s like when you register a brand there are also the clausules where people can´t use a similar name to yours like "Adibas" instead of Adidas, and I think this could fall somewhere in the contract where the FF are licensed, that no other company can make a family with a scientist, a deformed strong guy, an invisible chick and a fire dude (in this case the fire dude is missing) but replaced with someone who has Reed´s same powers.
Although, with a little bit of hindsight, Marvel has the Squadron Supreme so......
