Part of Series

Sono i primi supereroi dell'era moderna, i primi con superproblemi e con problemi normali e quotidiani, come quello di pagare l'affitto di casa a New York. Tutto ha inizio con un viaggio spaziale. Colpito dai raggi cosmici il dottor Reed Richards diventa Mr. Fantastic, capace di allungarsi e allargarsi come fosse di gomma. Sue acquista la dote dell'invisibilità, mentre Johnny, la Torcia Umana, può infiammarsi e volare più leggero dell'aria. Poi c'è Ben Grimm, eternamente ingabbiato in una corazza di roccia arancione che non ha nulla di umano. Simboleggiano l'Acqua, l'Aria, il Fuoco e la Terra. La loro abilità è quella di combattere il male, sia che si annidi nelle strade della metropoli sia che si nasconda in mondi inaccessibili agli umani; la loro forza è nello spirito di squadra; la loro debolezza sta nel sentirsi più esseri umani che supereroi. Sono fantastici, e si fanno in quattro per salvare il mondo da tutto ciò che lo minaccia.
