The Fantastic Four (FF) are a team of adventurers who accidentally received powers from cosmic radiation during a space trip on the Marvel-1. They are Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic), Reed's girlfriend Sue Storm (the Invisible Girl, later Woman), Susan's brother Johnny Storm (the Human Torch), and their good friend Ben Grimm (the Thing). Throughout the years, the group evolved with Reed and Sue getting married, having their kids Franklin and Valeria, and members coming and going, but the original four are still the face of the FF. Since gaining their powers, the group has stuck together through many adventures, exploring new frontiers of the universe, and venturing into other dimensions such as the bewildering Negative Zone. When needed, the FF also serves as protectors, thwarting dastardly villains like their nemesis Doctor Doom, and defending Earth from otherworldly threats, most famously Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds. The FF temporarily disbanded when the Richards family set off to rebuild the Multiverse after its collapse. They have since returned, and although an incident with the Baxter Building caused the public to turn on the FF, they remain some of their world's greatest heroes.
