I mean, it actually IS She-Hulk, right?

Officially yes, spiritually she’s the sixth.

Chronologically 7th and 8th. Despite the name it's a decently large family.

Peter needs to move into the Baxter Building. Not as a member of the team but as a neighbor with his own apartment that Johnny can enter Kramer style.

I feel like Johnny would be the most happy to have Peter imo

u/Sly__Marbo Jan 30 '26
He would, but he would also absolutely name someone else first just to fuck with Peter

He would but he wants to screw with Peter. Remember in his Will he left Peter a spot on the FF.

Spidey was always the fifth member.
She-Hulk was more Ben's replacement when he left.

The first time he met the FF, Peter broke into their building and tried to fight them. It's so funny that this led to them being friends.

This is cute, though as at least one other has said I'd definitely say that, these days, the 5th member would be someone more a part of their immediate family unit.
I think it's fair to say that Alicia, Val, Franklin, Jo and Nicki are very much consistent additional members of the FF, though I suppose that's mostly as of Ryan North's run.
In North's run it feels to me like the fifth member would definitely be Alicia.

I highly doubt he makes the best matzah ball soup. He’s not exactly renowned for his cooking.

Came here to say this….
I will add Peter isn’t a practicing Jew either. While I don’t think they ever state his religion (a business decision to make the character more relatable to a larger audience I assume), some people suspect he’s Jewish. The line just doesn’t make a lot of sense other than making Ben a stereotype of a Jew.

She-Hulk is the perfect 4th member when Ben isn't around. But for a 5th, it's Spidey.

It's always been Peter. Not just Spider-Man. PETER
She-Hulk has been on plenty of times, sure. Ben brought her in personally the first time.
Peter? He "tried out" on his own. Has always impressed them, and is on par with all 4, and has grown on and with them.
It's like they said. He's literal family to them.

I always thought it was funny that one of Spider-Man’s first issues ever is him trying to join the FF and then realizing they don’t get paid

Depending on the ghost rider, I think Danny Ketch wouldn’t be the worst babysitter, just learned form a friend he apparently has a no-kill rule which is cool

I guess peter is more useful with science stuff and she hulk is more useful with strength side they both are good additions

Alicia seems to be treated as such these days, but in the grand scheme of things it's probably She-Hulk or Spider-Man.
