The Fantastic Four is a fictional superhero team that appears in an American comic book published by Marvel Comics. The group debuted at The Fantastic Four # 1 (cover dated November 1961), which helped usher in a new level of realism in the medium. Fantastic Four is the first superhero team created by co-editor/co-plotter Stan Lee and co-plotter Jack Kirby, who developed a collaborative approach to creating comics with this title that they will be using since then.
The four individuals traditionally associated with the Fantastic Four, who gained superpowers after exposure to cosmic rays during a scientific mission into space, are Mr. Fantastik (Reed Richards), a scientific genius and group leader, who can stretch his body into long and extraordinary shapes ; Visible Girl (Susan "Sue" Storm, then "Invisible Woman"), who eventually marries Reed, who can make himself invisible and then project a strong invisible force field; Human Torch (Johnny Storm), younger Sue's sister, who can awaken fire, surrounds himself with them and flies; and Terrible Thing (Ben Grimm), their grumpy but kind-hearted companion, former college football star and Reed's roommate, as well as a good pilot, who has extraordinary strength, endurance, and endurance because of the rock- such as meat.
Since their original introduction in 1961, the Fantastic Four has been described as a rather dysfunctional, yet affectionate family. Breaking conventions with other comic book archetypes at the time, they would quarrel and hold grudges both in and out and avoid the identity of anonymity or secrets that support celebrity status. The team is also renowned for its recurring encounters with figures such as the brutal Doctor Doom king, Galactus who devoured planets, Prince Namor who lives in the ocean, the Silver Surfer spacecraft, and altered Skrulls aliens.
Fantastic Four has been adapted to other media, including four animated series and four live action films.

Origins
The Apocrypha legend says that in 1961, the old magazine and comic book publisher Martin Goodman was playing golf with Jack Liebowitz or Irwin Donenfeld from DC Comics, then known as the National Periodical Publications, and that top executives boasted about the success of DC with the superhero team new, Justice League of America. While film producer and comic historian Michael Uslan has refuted the particulars of the story, Goodman, a publishing trend follower, who knows JLA's powerful sales, directs comic editor Stan Lee to create comic book series about superhero teams. According to Lee, writing in 1974, "Martin mentioned that he had noticed one of the titles published by the National Comics seem to sell better than most.It is a book titled The sic ] Justice League of America and it's made up of superhero teams... 'If the League of Justice sells', speak to him, 'why do not we put out a comic book featuring a superhero team?' "
Lee, who has served as editor-in-chief and art director Marvel Comics and its predecessor companies, Timely Comics and Atlas Comics, for two decades, found that the media have become creative and rigorous. Determined "to carve out a real career for myself in a world of comic books that is second to none", Lee concludes that, "For this time alone, I will do the kind of story that I myself would love to read.... And the character would be the kind characters that I can personally associate with: they will be flesh and blood, they will have their faults and weaknesses, they will be wrong and energetic, and - most important of all - in their colorful and costumed booties they are still have clay feet. "
Lee said he made a synopsis for the first Fantastic Four story he gave to penciler Jack Kirby, who then drew the whole story. Kirby hands over the art page she wrote to Lee, who added dialogue and information. This approach to creating comics, which came to be known as the "Marvel Method", worked so well for Lee and Kirby that they have used since then; Marvel methods become the standard for companies in a year.
Kirby remembered the events somewhat differently. Challenged with Lee's version of the show in a 1990 interview, Kirby replied: "I would say it is a lie", although the interviewer, Gary Groth, noted that this statement needs to be seen carefully. Kirby claims he came up with the idea for the Fantastic Four in Marvel's office, and that Lee has just added a dialogue after the story was written. Kirby also attempted to establish, more reliably and on various occasions, that the visual element of the strip was the concept. He regularly appoints the team he created for DC Comics's competitor in the 1950s, Challenger of the Unknown. "[I] f you see the uniforms, they are the same... I always give them uniforms preening with a belt... Challengers and FF have minimal decorations And of course, Thing skin is a kind of decoration, breaking the monotony of the blue uniform. chest of "4" in a circle, however, designed by Lee. Characters do not wear uniforms in the first two problems.
Given the conflicting statements, outside commentators find it difficult to identify with the precise detail that creates the Fantastic Four. Although Stan Lee's synopsis for the Fantastic Four exists, Earl Wells, writing in The Comics Journal, points out that its existence does not place its place in creation: "[W] e has no way of knowing whether Lee wrote a synopsis after a discussion with Kirby in which Kirby supplies most of the ideas ". The comic historian R. C. Harvey believes that the Fantastic Four is a continuation of the work that Kirby has done before, and so "more likely the creation of Kirby than Lee". But Harvey notes that Marvel's Collaboration Method allows everyone to claim credit, and Lee's dialogue is added in the direction the team takes. Wells argues that it was Lee's contribution that set the framework in which Kirby worked, and this made Lee "more responsible". The comic historian Mark Evanier, a studio assistant for Jack Kirby in the 1970s, said that the opinion that Lee and Kirby had considered his contemporaries was "that the Fantastic Four was created by Stan and Jack.No further credit distribution seemed appropriate."
1961-1970s
The release of The Fantastic Four # 1 (November 1961) was an unexpected success. Lee was ready to leave the comic field at the time, but the positive response to the Fantastic Four persuaded him to stay. The title began to receive fan letters and Lee began printing letters in the letter column with issue # 3. Also with a third issue, Lee created the hyperbolic slogan "The Greatest Comic Magazine in the World !!" With the following issues, the slogan was changed to "The World Greatest Comic Magazine!" and became a fixture on the cover of issues into the 1990s, and on various covers in the 2000s.
Issue # 4 (May 1962) reintroduces Namor Sub-Mariner, aquatic antihero which is the star character of the early Marvel iteration, Timely Comics, during the 1930s and 1940s which historians and fans called the Golden Age of Comics. Issue # 5 (July 1962) introduces the team's most frequent nemesis, Doctor Doom. These earliest issues are published every two months. With edition # 16 (July 1963), its cover title fell with The and became just Fantastic Four .
While the early stories are a complete narrative, often the emergence of two antagonists, Doom and Namor, in subsequent issues show the creation of long narratives by Lee and Kirby that have been extended for months. According to comic historian Les Daniels, "only narratives lead to some of the issues that will be able to accommodate their increasingly complex ideas". Over the long term of its creators, this series produced many recognized story lines and characters that have become the centerpiece for Marvel, including hidden hidden alien-human race, Inhumans; Black Panther, the African king who will be the super comic black hero of the main comic; Alien opponents rival Kree and Skrulls who are deformed; He, who will be Adam Warlock; Negative Zone and unstable molecules. The stories often quoted as Lee and Kirby's best achievements are three parts of the "Galactus Trilogy" which begins at the Fantastic Four 48 March March noting Galactus, a cosmic giant who wants to devour the planet, and his followers, Silver Surfer. # 48 was voted # 24 in the Marvel's 100 Greatest Marvels of All Time Marvel reader polls in 2001. Editor Robert Greenberger wrote in the introduction to the story, "As the fourth year of the Fantastic Four is about to end, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby seem to be warming up, in retrospect, it is probably the most fertile period of every month's title during the Marvel Era. "Daniels noted that" the mystical and metaphysical element that took over the saga was perfect for the young readers' an ", and Lee soon discovered that the story became a favorite on the campuses. The Fantastic Four Annual is used to highlight some important events. The Submarine was crowned king of Atlantis in the first year (1963). The following year annually reveals Doctor Doom's original story. Fantastic Four Annual # 3 (1965) presented the wedding of Reed Richards and Sue Storm. Lee and Kirby reintroduced the original Human Torch at Fantastic Four Annual # 4 (1966) and made her fight against Johnny Storm. Pregnancy Sue Richards was announced at Fantastic Four Annual # 5 (1967), and Richards's son, Franklin Richards was born at Fantastic Four Annual # 6 (1968) in a story introducing Annihilus also.
Marvel filed a trademark for "Fantastic Four" in 1967 and the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued registration in 1970.
Kirby left Marvel in the mid-1970s, after drawing 102 first issues plus unfinished problems, partially published at Fantastic Four # 108, with changes, and then finalized and published as Fantastic Four: The Lost Adventure , followed by Lee, Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, and Marv Wolfman as regular writers, in collaboration with artists such as John Romita Sr., John Buscema, Rich Buckler and George PÃÆ'Â © rez, with the old inker Joe Sinnott adding some visual continuity. Jim Steranko also donated several covers during this time. A short series starring the team, Giant-Size Super-Stars, started in May 1974 and changed the title to Giant-Size Fantastic Four with issue # 2. The fourth issue introduced Jamie Madrox, a character who later became part of X-Men. Fantastic-Size Fantastic Four was canceled with issue # 6 (Oct. 1975). Roy Thomas and George PÃÆ' Â © rez create a metaphorical story for Fantastic Four # 176 (Nov. 1976) where Impossible Men visit Marvel Comics office and meet with many comic makers. Marv Wolfman and Keith Pollard create a multi-issue storyline involving Doctor Doom's son who culminated in issue # 200 (November 1978). John Byrne joined the title with issue # 209 (August 1979), doing pencil details for Sinnott to finish. He and Wolfman introduced a new reporter for Galactus named Terrax the Tamer in # 211 (October 1979).
1980s and 1990s
Bill Mantlo had followed Wolfman as a series writer and wrote a crossover with Peter Parker, The Spider-Man Spider-Man # 42 (May 1980). Byrne wrote and drew a huge Four Great-size promotional comic for Coca-Cola, which Coca-Cola rejected for being too rough and published as Fantastic Empty # 220-221 (July-August 1980) instead. Writer Doug Moench and penciler Bill Sienkiewicz then took over for 10 problems. With edition # 232 (July 1981), entitled "Back to Basics", Byrne started his business as a writer, penciller and inker, the latter under the pseudonym Bjorn Heyn for this matter only.
Byrne revitalized a degenerate title with his run. Initially, Byrne is scheduled to write with Sienkiewicz providing art. Sienkiewicz went to do Moon Knight , and Byrne later became a writer, artist, and inker. Various editors are assigned to comics; Bob Budiansky eventually became a regular editor. Byrne tells Jim Shooter that he can not work with Budiansky, though in the end they continue to work together. In 2006, Byrne said "that's my paranoia.I looked back and I thought it was Shooter trying to force me out of the book". Byrne left the following problem # 293 (August 1986) in the middle of the story arc, explaining that he could not recapture the fun he once had in the series. One of Byrne's changes is to make a Visible Girl into a Visible Woman: firm and confident. During this period, fans began to realize that he was strong enough, whereas before, he was primarily seen as a mother and wife in power in the tradition of television mothers as played by Donna Reed and Florence Henderson.
Byrne betrays a new direction in the character's private life, has a married Sue Storm and Reed Richards suffered a miscarriage and The Thing quit the Fantastic Four, with She-Hulk being recruited as his long-term successor. He also reiterated the family dynamics that he felt the series had moved away from after Lee/Kirby ran, remarking that, " Family - and not dysfunctional families - is a central, key element to FF.This is a very vital dynamic between characters. "[original emphasis]
Byrne was followed by the writer's rapid succession: Roger Stern, Tom DeFalco, and Roy Thomas. Steve Englehart took over as author for the issue of 304-332 (except # 320). The title has fought, so Englehart decides to make radical changes. She feels the title has become obsolete with Normal makeup from Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny, so in issue # 308 Reed and Sue retire and replaced with new girlfriend Thing, Sharon Ventura, and former love of Johnny Storm, Crystal. The change increased the number of readers through issue # 321. At this point, Marvel made a decision on another Englehart comic, West Coast Avengers , which he disagreed, and in protest he changed his byline to S.F.X. Englehart (S.F.X. stands for Simple Sound Effects). In issue # 326, Englehart was told to bring Reed and Sue back and cancel any other changes he had made. This caused Englehart to take his name completely from the book. He uses the nickname John Harkness, which he created many years earlier for work he did not want to relate to. According to Englehart, running from # 326 through his last edition, # 332, is "one of the most painful stretches in his career." Writers Walt Simonson took over as author with # 334 (December 1989), and three issues then began to write and ink as well. With the exception of short ink, two charging problems, and the task of three issues drawn by Arthur Adams, Simonson remained in three positions through # 354 (July 1991).
Simonson, who has written The Avengers' comic team, has gotten approval for Reed and Sue to join the team after Engelhart wrote it from Fantastic Four . But by The Avengers <300>, where they are scheduled to join the team, Simonson is told that the character returns to Fantastic Four . This caused Simonson to stop The Avengers after the problem. Shortly after, he was offered the job of writing the Fantastic Four . Having already prepared a number of stories involving Avengers with Reed and Sue in the lineup, he subsequently rewrote this to Fantastic Four . Simonson then recalls that working on the Fantastic Four allowed him to use the original Avengers members Thor and Iron Man, which had been blocked for use in The Avengers.
After the other add-ons, the regular team of writers and Marvel editor-head Tom DeFalco, creator Paul Ryan and Inker Dan Bulanadi took over, with Ryan starting his own ink with # 360 (January 1992). The team, with a different inker occasionally, continued through the years through # 414 (July 1996). DeFalco canceled the Storm-Masters wedding with retconning that the Skrull Empire alien had kidnapped the original Masters and replaced him with a spy named Lyja. Once found, Lyja, who himself has fallen for the Storm, helps the Fantastic Four Rescue Masters. Ventura departs after being transferred further by Doctor Doom. Although some fans were unhappy with DeFalco's game on Fantastic Four, calling him "The Great Satan", title sales increased during the period.
Other important developments include Franklin Richards being sent into the future and returning as a teenager; the return of the father to Reed's journey, Nathaniel, who was revealed to be Kang the Conqueror's time-out criminal father and Reed's apparent death in the hands of a seemingly hurt Doctor Kiam. It will be two years before DeFalco awakens two characters, revealing that their "death" is governed by Hyperstorm supervillain.
The ongoing series was canceled with issue # 416 (September 1996) and relaunched with vol. 2, # 1 (November 1996) as part of the multi-series "Heroes Reborn" arc crossover story. The annual volume recounts the team's first adventure in a more contemporary style, and is organized into a parallel universe. After the end of the experiment, Fantastic Four was relaunched with vol. 3, # 1 (January 1998). Originally by team writer Scott Lobdell and penciler Alan Davis, it went after three issues for writer Chris Claremont (co-wrote with Lobdell for # 4-5) and penciler Salvador Larroca; this team enjoys a long journey through edition # 32 (August 2000).

This series began using double numbering, as if the original series of Fantastic Four went on uninterruptedly, with edition # 42/# 471 (June 2001). At that time, the Marvel Comics series began in the 1960s, such as Thor and The Amazing Spider-Man , were given double numbering on the front cover, with the present. -day numbering volume along with numbering of the original series. After publishing # 70/# 499 (August 2003), the title is returned to its original vol. 1 numbering with edition # 500 (September 2003).

Pencillers Mark Buckingham, Casey Jones, and Howard Porter diverse contributed through problem # 524 (May 2005), with some problems by other teams as well during this time. Writer J. Michael Straczynski and penciler Mike McKone did the problem # 527-541 (July 2005 - November 2006), with Dwayne McDuffie taking over as the author of the following issues, and Paul Pelletier replacing McKone starting with # 544 (May 2007).

The series begins at Strange Tales <# 101 (October 1962), in 12 to 14 pages of stories created by Lee and originally written by his brother, Larry Lieber, and drawn by penciler Kirby and Dick Ayers inker.

Character
The Fantastic Four was formed after four civilian astronauts were exposed to cosmic rays during an unauthorized space flight test in an experimental rocket ship designed by Dr. Reed Richards. Pilot Ben Grimm and crew members Susan Storm and his brother Johnny Storm survived an emergency landing in a field on Earth. Upon exiting the rocket, the four found they had developed extraordinary super powers, and decided to use this power to help others.
In the first edition, the crew talked about Reed Richards rockets flying into the stars. The original synopsis of Stan Lee described the crew's plan to fly to Mars, but Lee later wrote shortly that because "the Communist level is growing in space, maybe we better make this flight to STARS, not just to Mars, because at this mag start sold, Russia might have made a flight to Mars! "
In a significant departure from previous superhero conventions, the Fantastic Four does not seek to preserve a secret identity or, until # 3, to wear superhero costumes, instead of maintaining a public profile and enjoying celebrity status for scientific and heroic contributions to society. At the same time, they often tend to argue and even fight with each other. Regardless of their quarrel, the Fantastic Four consistently proved themselves to be "a cohesive and resilient team in times of crisis."
Although there have been a number of lineup changes to the group, the four characters that debuted at Fantastic Four # 1 remain the core and lineup most often.
- Mister Fantastic (Reed Richards), a scientific genius, can stretch, twist, and reshape his body into inhuman proportions. Mr. Fantastic serves as the father figure of the group, and "precisely pragmatic, authoritative, and boring". Richards blamed himself for a failed missile mission, largely because of how the show changed Ben Grimm's pilot. Stan Lee says the stretching strength is inspired by DC Plastic Man, which is not equivalent in Marvel. Invisible Girl/Invisible Woman (Susan Storm), girlfriend Reed Richards (and finally wife) has the ability to bend and manipulate light to make herself and others invisible. Stan Lee did not want Sue to have superstrength, "being a Wonder Woman and hitting people," so she finally came to see-through, inspired by works like The Invisible Man. He then developed the ability to produce an invisible force field, which he used for a variety of offensive and defensive effects.
- Torch Man (Johnny Storm), younger Sue Storm's sister, has the ability to control fire, allow him to project fire from his body, as well as the power to fly. This character is loosely based on the Human Torch character published by the predecessor Marvel Timely Comics in the 1940s, an android that can ignite itself. Lee said that when he drafted the character, "I think it's a shame that we do not have The Human Torch anymore, and this is a good opportunity to bring it back". Unlike the teenage sidekicks who preceded it, the Human Torch in the early stories was "an ordinary teenager - insolent, rebellious, and dear dear." Johnny Storm died in the 2011 "Three" storyline, before being brought back and rejoining the updated Fantastic Four. The Thing (Ben Grimm), Roommate's best friend and best friend, Reed Richards, has turned into a horrible, orange human, like a rock that has a high level of power and superhuman power. The Thing is often filled with anger, self-hatred and self-pity for his new existence. He serves as "a figure of uncle, a long-term friend of the family with a rude Brooklyn way, short temperament, and a caustic sense of humor". In the original synopsis Lee gave to Kirby, The Thing was meant as "heavy", but over the years, the character has become "the most beloved member of the group: honest, direct and free of pretension". Lee said his real tone to Kirby stated that The Thing is "someone who turns into a monster" and is bitter because unlike the other three he can not change back to normal appearance.
Fantastic Four has several different headquarters, especially the Baxter Building, located on 42nd Street and Madison Avenue in New York City. The Baxter building was replaced by Four Freedoms Plaza in the same location after its destruction at the hands of Kristoff Vernard, the adopted son of the seminal team foe Doctor Doom. (Before the completion of Four Freedoms Plaza, the team took temporary shelter at the Avengers Mansion.) Pier 4, a seaside warehouse, served as a temporary headquarters after the Four Freedoms Plaza was destroyed by the superhero team pretending the Thunderbolts shortly after the revelation that they were actually a team supervillain the Master of Evil in disguise. Pier 4 was finally destroyed during a battle with Fantastic Four supervillain, Diablo, after which the team received a new Baxter Building, owned by one of Reed Richards' team leader Noah Baxter. The second Baxter building was built in Earth orbit and teleported to an empty land previously occupied by the original.

Antagonist
Writers and artists over the years have created various characters to challenge the Fantastic Four. Knowles states that Kirby helped create "a criminal army whose anger and destructive power was never seen before," and "the main impetus is to destroy the world."

Cultural impact
The Fantastic Four characterization was originally different from all other superheroes at the time. One major difference is that they do not hide their identity, making the public become suspicious and amazed at them. Also, they often argue and disagree with each other, blocking their work as a team. Described as a "hero by hanging out" by Stan Lee, Thing has a temperament, and Human Torch dislikes a child among adults. Mr. Fantastic blames himself for the transformation of Thing. The social scientist, Bradford W. Wright, described the team as "a mixture of emotions and human personality that is volatile." Regardless of their disagreement, they end up functioning well as a team.
The first edition of The Fantastic Four proved successful, sparking a new direction for superhero comics and soon affecting many other superhero comics. Readers increasingly love Ben's grumpiness, Johnny's tendency to annoy others, Reed, and Sue. Stan Lee was surprised by his reaction to the first problem, which caused him to remain in the field of comics despite his previous plans to leave. Comic historian Stephen Krensky says that "Lee's natural dialogue and flawed characters appeal to 1960 children who want to 'become real'".
In 2005, 150 million comics featuring the Fantastic Four have been sold.
