Reed Richards' dream was to create a spaceship that could fly through interstellar space. Reed spent many years with the United States government implementing this project. A few days before the first flight test, an unexpected blow came, namely the order to stop the project. Reed, his fiancee Sue, her brother Johnny and his best friend Ben Grimm decided to make their dream come true. They broke into a military base and stole a spaceship. Everything seemed fine. They rose quietly up through the beautiful night sky until they left the safety of Earth's atmosphere. During the flight, their ship was exposed to cosmic radiation, which penetrated directly into the ship due to imperfect shielding. With the spaceship destroyed, they crashed back to Earth. After a hard landing, the four of them crawled out of the ship and were left shocked by what they saw. The cosmic rays that hit them caused them to develop incredible abilities. Reed could stretch his body, Sue could make herself invisible and create an impenetrable psionic shield, Johnny could ignite his body, and Ben Grimm found he had an indestructible shell as thick as rock instead of skin. When they discovered that they had abilities that were completely unseen on Earth, they vowed to use them to thwart the evil plans of Dr. Doom and protected the people of New York. They decide to set up headquarters in the Baxter Building and call themselves the Fantastic Four!
