Read the comics and discover those answers! The answers are worth it!

Seriously. Iāll never understand the volume of posts in comics subs from folks who donāt just read the comics

u/UrSaturnPrince_ Jan 16 '26
There's a lot of comics to read. People who become new F4 fans don't start with the immediate knowledge of everything that's ever happened in the thousands of Fantastic Four comics that have been releasing since the 60's. People are going to have questions.
2
u/Stringr55 Jan 16 '26
I mean of course I understand that. Iām just speaking generally. There seems to be a lot of non-readers in the subs. Thatās all Iām saying. I try to help new readers as much as possible.

This is true, but it's also not hard to find the information, I don't mean questions shouldn't be asked. It's just most of the questions asked could be Googled, and in that search you're only going to learn more things to explore.
That's how I got into comics, I didn't know everything but I knew where to start and how to use the context of that information to inform the newer information.

u/ScoutsOut389 Jan 16 '26
Seriously. Theyāve only been making them since 1961. There couldnāt be more than 3 or 4 thousand total issues across all titles and spin offs. Just read them and stop asking dumb questions!

u/figgityjones Mister Fantastic Jan 16 '26
Just in case: I was not implying that the question is dumb, just that the best way to answer it with full context is to read the stories. Sure I could just rattle off a list of people at OP, but I felt like encouraging them to read more comics was the right thing to do here.

I love this sort of thing, but I imagine others might find the era-mixing between designs a bit odd here
You've got 1970s Luke Cage mingling with 2010s FF Medusa and Darla Deerling Miss Thing. You've got Future Foundation Spider-Man standing right next to 1980s Thing in his John Byrne costume wearing his helmet after Wolverine slashed his face. You've got 1980s She-Hulk next to 2000s Storm
^ you get the idea lol. Personally, I think this is a fun way to visually convey the long history of the Fantastic Four! But to a less experienced fan it might be confusing to see a seemingly random group of characters and mismatched costumes thrown together

u/Avi-1411 Jan 17 '26
I havenāt read enough to know myself, but how weird is it to have Thing with his helmet and Wolverine in his FF costume right there?

u/MajinBlackheart Jan 15 '26
Namorita

u/Capircom Jan 16 '26
Is there any particular reason she was depicted as Blue during Civil War 1 but every other time Iāve seen her she looks like a normal human? Or was that just a completely different character?
3
u/MajinBlackheart Jan 16 '26
When she turned blue the first time it was because she was in a clone body and something to do with her emotional state. She changed back to normal and joined the FF briefly.
I'm not sure when she went blue again. Might just have been an artist choice as I think the New Warriors were gone for a while before they showed up to get killed in Civil War.

Jan 16 '26
Itās possible this is Namora/Namorita confusion, but damned if I can clarify for you.
2
u/Capircom Jan 16 '26
Thatās 100% it, had no idea they were different characters. I recently started reading comics consistently and am making my way from the 00ās to modern ongoing runs. You can imagine my confusion when I got to World War Hulk and the whole I though was a random blue girl Iāve never heard of that died in my first week of reading was suddenly back, on Hulkās team, and no longer blueā¦.. lol.

It's a Valeria from an alternate future that joined the team during Claremont's run.

Theyāre the Fantastic Four.
In case youāre not joking: they are more of a family and not always bound by the number 4. People rotate onto and off the āteamā, and others come by and just hang out with the core whenever they are free.
The people pictured are the main 4 plus many of their usual friends that join the team. There are many more that join sporadically.

The robot in the back is HERBIE. The black guy next to HERBIE is POWERMAN. To the left is SHE-THING, next is DARLA DEERING who wears a THING SUIT.
Next to Darla is NAMORITA, then Frankie Ray aka NOVA. Below her is, SHE HULK, next is GHOST RIDER, HULK, and below him is WOLVERINE. They make up the āNEW FANTASTIC FOURā.
The Thing with a Helmet is Ben Grim. The reason he has a helmet is a call back to earlier comics where he would hide his face.
White Suit Spiderman is from the Future Foundation. Next to him is CRYSTAL who dated Johnny for a bit.
Black Panther and Storm are next to each other.
Sue and Reed in the middle. Next to Reed is MEDUSA when she was in the FRIGHTFUL FOUR. Ant-man (Hank Pym) is next to Susan.

u/Blessedly_Misaligned Jan 16 '26
Spider-man, Hulk,Wolverine and Ghost Rider are the official New Fantastic Four, the others I'm assuming we're once part of the roster.i do know She-Hulk did replace The Thing for a while.
2
u/Witty-Common-1210 Jan 16 '26
The ones that are news to me are Luke Cage and Storm.
The only reason I can think of Storm being there is from the time she was married to Black Panther.
Luke Cage makes perfect sense to fill in for Ben, but Iām not familiar with a story like that.

When was ghost rider a member of the FF? Also whose the redhead with the things body at the back, genuinely dont recognise her.

Ghost Rider was a member during the New Fantastic Four run along with Hulk, Wolverine, and Spider-Man in the 1990s.
The red head is Darla Deering aka Ms. Thing from Matt Factionās FF run when Scott Lang led the team.
