The
Fantastic Four is a fictional superhero team appearing in comic books
published by Marvel Comics. The group debuted in The Fantastic Four
(Nov. 1961), which helped to usher in a new naturalism in the medium.
They were the first superhero team created by writer-editor Stan Lee
and artist and co-plotter Jack Kirby. The Fantastic Four have been
adapted into other media, including 4 animated television series, an
aborted 1990s low-budget film, the major motion picture Fantastic Four
(2005), and its sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
(2007). Although the group's membership has occasionally changed
temporarily, it almost always consists of these 4 core friends and
family-members, who gained superpowers after being exposed to cosmic
rays during an outer-space science mission: Mr. Fantastic (Reed
Richards), The Invisible Woman (Susan "Sue" Storm), The Human Torch
(Johnny Storm), and the monster-like Thing (Ben Grimm).
