Fantastic Four First Steps performed well on the big screen, with several claiming it to be one of the best Marvel movies to come out in recent times. Despite some flaws, Fantastic Four 2025 made a great impression on fans and also paved the way for the upcoming and highly anticipated Avengers Doomsday with its post-credit scene. While we have seen several iterations of Fantastic Four previously, here are more details about Marvel’s first family, you should know.
8. Is Spider-Man a Member of The Fantastic Four?
As surprising as it may sound to some people, Spider-Man has been involved with the Fantastic Four since his first solo issue, The Amazing Spider-Man #1. In the comic, Spider-Man breaks into the Baxter Building in hopes of finding the Fantastic Four and joining the team.
However, he stepped back when he found out that he would not get paid. Even though this interaction is kinda unpleasant, Spider-Man eventually grew close to the Fantastic Four and became an unofficial fifth member of the Fantastic Four, still unpaid though.
7. Who Is the Strongest Member of The Fantastic Four?
Now, you might think that the strongest member of the team has to be Ben, or The Thing, right? Well, you would be correct if we were talking about physical strength, but there is more than one factor that determines how strong a character is, and in the case of the Fantastic Four, the strongest member is none other than Sue Storm. Sue’s powers don’t have a maximum cap and are strong enough to generate a force field that can deflect attacks even from Celestials.
6. Who Has Defeated Galactus in Marvel?
Even though Galactus is one of the strongest beings in the universe, he has been bested on multiple occasions. Throughout Marvel comics, Galactus has been defeated by the Fantastic Four more than once, but other than that, he has also been defeated by the likes of The Beyonder, Thor, The Silver Surfer, and was also made into a herald once by Franklin Richards.
5. Is Reed Richards Smarter Than Tony Stark?
Now, while this may be up for debate, according to Marvel comics, Reed Richards is smarter than Tony Stark. The comic books say that he is the smartest man on planet Earth, and Tony Stark is second to him when it comes to intelligence. However, there is a catch. The intelligence Reed Richards possesses might be higher than Tony but his thought process is not as creative as that of Stark, so sometimes, Reed has an edge over Tony, and in other instances, the case is vice versa.
4. Who did Johnny Storm Marry?
While we are all aware of Johnny’s exploits and his behaviour as an absolute ladies’ man, the specifics of who he finally ends up with often get blurred. In Marvel comics, Johnny Storm ends up marrying Lyja, a Skrull Soldier, and even has a son named Torus Storm who has the fire powers of his father as well as his mother’s shapeshifting abilities.
3. Has Reed Richards Ever been an Avenger?
Reed Richards and his family have often worked alongside other superhero teams, such as The Avengers, and on a few occasions, Reed has even taken charge of leading them. However, even after working with the Avengers, he has never identified himself to be one. Reed Richards has never been an official Avenger and is always associated with the Fantastic Four.
2. Are the Fantastic Four in Avengers: Doomsday?
Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal has confirmed that Fantastic Four will appear in the movie. Moreover, if you have watched the movie, you know that Doctor Doom appears in the post-credit scene, which further confirms that we’ll see Sue Storm, The Thing, Reed Richards, and Johnny Storm in Avengers: Domsday.
1. Can Anyone Defeat Franklin Richards in Marvel?
While Franklin Richards is quite literally invincible, there are a few entities that can potentially defeat Franklin. While it has not happened a lot, some celestials like Living Tribunal or One-Above-All could potentially defeat Franklin. However, if we want to witness that happening in live action, there will be a substantial wait since he is just a baby as of now.
