| Investor, astronaut and scientist
Dr. Reed Richards' lifelong dream is close to being
realized. He is spearheading a trip to outer space,
to the center of a cosmic storm. There he hopes
to unlock the secrets of the human genetic codes
for the benefit of all humanity. Extensive government
grant cutbacks nearly dashed the visionary's hopes
of the historic flight, until Reed accepted a financing
deal with his old college rival, Victor Von Doon,
now a billionaire industrialist. Reed's crew for
the mission includes his best friend, astronaut
Ben Grimm; Sue Storm, Von Doom's director of genetic
research and Reed's ex-girlfriend; and Sue's hot-headed
younger brother, pilot Johnny Storm. With benefactor
Von Doom in tow, the four set off for the exploration
of a lifetime. The mission is uneventful until Reed
discovers a miscalculation of the speed of the approaching
storm. Within minutes, the event threshold is upon
them. The space station is engulfed by turbulent
clouds of cosmic radiation which genetically transforms
the crew. Their DNA is irrevocably altered and so
is their future. Back on earth, the effects on the
exposure are quickly revealed. Reed gains the ability
to stretch and contort his body into any shape he
can imagine and, as leader of the group, is given
the name Mr. Fantastic; Sue is able to render herself
invisible and to create and project powerful force
fields as Invisible Woman; Johnny becomes known
as The Human Torch, as he can now engulf his body
in flames and take flight at will; and Ben, whose
freakish transmutation is the most shocking, becomes
an orange-colored, rock-like, superhumanly strong
creature, The Thing. Together, they turn tragedy
into triumph and catastrophe into coalition, using
their unique and formidable powers to thwart the
evil plans of their now steely-eyed, iron-fisted
nemesis Dr. Doom and to protect the citizens of
New York City against any threat that may arise.
Astronauts. Superheroes. Celebrities. To the world,
they are the Fantastic Four. To each other, they
are a family. |
