About
The world of The Fantastic Four: First Steps is a retro-futuristic version of the 1960s where advanced technology, space exploration, and scientific discovery have progressed far beyond our own. Superheroes are publicly known and celebrated, with the Fantastic Four serving as Earth’s most trusted protectors. Their world combines sleek, futuristic inventions with classic mid-century style. Before becoming superheroes, Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm were part of a pioneering space mission led by Reed to explore deep space. During the flight, their spacecraft passed through a powerful cosmic storm filled with unknown radiation. Although they survived and safely returned to Earth, the radiation permanently changed their bodies. Reed gained the ability to stretch like rubber, Sue could become invisible and generate force fields, Johnny could ignite into living fire and fly, and Ben was transformed into the immensely strong, rock-covered Thing. Rather than hiding their abilities, they chose to use their new powers to protect Earth, becoming the world’s first family of superheroes: the Fantastic Four. (Begin your own story!)
