Fantastic Four: Life Story

Product Information

Adaptational Superpower Change: Instead of being a Goo-Goo-Godlike Reality Warper, Franklin's power is amplifying brain activity to debilitating effect, with Power Incontinence necessitating him wearing a metal headband to regulate his ability. As You Know: Reed being Reed, there's just no way he wouldn't know about the feat of Yuri Gagarin. JFK showing him a newspaper with it is more for the benefit of the reader, to establish the context. Adaptational Dumbass: While Victor Von Doom is still fairly intelligent, he relies on Reed to build his armor, something he'd always forged himself in other continuities. It also explains why they took Johnny Storm, who would fail any tests for becoming an astronaut: they simply had no time to select a proper crew. Nrama: Marvel says this will present their story in a "radical new way". Do you think what you're doing is radical - and if so, can you give an example of that?

Fantastic Four: Life Story (Comic Book) - TV Tropes

Adaptational Wimp: Doctor Doom never displays any of his arcane abilities, relying on solely on his Powered Armor. Russell: I want people to feel like they've read a book, not just about characters they love, but a generational story about a family and how they helped each other survive. So being able to show them age in real-time, let their relationships meaningfully evolve over six issues, gives their story an extra dimension, I think. Altar the Speed: The Silver Surfer warns humanity that Galactus is coming, the end of the world will be in 10 years, and there's nothing they can do about it. Ben decides he doesn't have a second to lose, and proposes marriage to Alicia. So their complimentary powers exponentially increase the number of situations where somebody is going to come through.

Russell: What I do never seems radical to me. It always seems like the natural approach in the world to a problem that I don't quite understand. Dr. Doom was one of the Fantastic Four's earliest villains making his first appearance in issue 5, here he doesn't show up until over a decade after the FF's debut.

Adaptational Villainy: Even for someone who eats worlds, Galactus seems a lot worse in this comic. "I see you. The terror in your soul. And I am coming for it! I am coming for you all." It is then reveal in Issue #5 that Galactus doesn't specifically feed on planets but their entire living inhabitants, as they innately possessed parts of the Power Cosmic.

Plus, it allows you to get in your opponent's head in a way the other powers don't. Sue could be in the room, using her invisibility, or she could be somewhere else, doing something entirely different. Working on a story about Marvel’s First Family is not only an honor in itself, but what makes it even more so, is being part of the team that gets to tell such a moving and heartfelt story about these iconic characters, their struggles and triumphs in a new way that draws on what has come before,” Izaakse said. “If I do my job right, this story will be one that Fantastic Four fans will remember for a long, long time.”
