The Fantastic Four are one of the founding families of the Marvel universe. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1961 when the team debuted in The Fantastic Four #1, the roster included Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm. During an interstellar mission, the team plus Victor Von Doom were hit by waves of cosmic energy that changed their physiology forever. Overnight, they all became super-powered beings, some for the better and some for the worse.
