The Fantastic Four are often referred to as Marvel's first family, and that is mainly because they were the first superhero team to be published by the company in 1961. Their arrival on store shelves marked a new era for comics and began the lengthy shared universe of Marvel heroes that rivaled even DC at the time. The Fantastic Four consists of four main members: Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch, and The Thing. These members are most associated with the team, and they will be the characters that appear in the upcoming Fantastic Four movie that will take place in the MCU.
