Nominated for Best Limited Series for Decorum (shared with Mike Huddleston) and the Best Writer Eisner Award for X-Men, Giant-Size X-Men, and Decorum [35] Meta Fiction: The Fantastic Four: True Story miniseries involves the four exploring the Ideaverse after everyone becomes inexplicably adverse to fiction. The ideaverse is a metaphysical plane where all fictional characters reside, where inhabitants are shaped by the perceptions of readers and readers are shaped by them once there. The problem turned out to be an author recalling Nightmare enough to recount him as a novel. Thus rendered as a fictional character, he becomes like an invasive species and creates an army of monsters pushing further into older stories corrupting the whole thing inside out. The four are perceived by Dante Alighieri as American comic book superheroes to their surprise. Reed created the Bridge in Dark Reign: Fantastic Four #1 and Reed hid it in Dark Reign: Fantastic Four #5. Flexibility Equals Sex Ability: Reed's Power Perversion Potential is known, and is considered highly attractive. On the second day, Doctor Doom separated light and dark, creating a divide between science and magic. On the third, he created the laws of his new universe. On the fourth day, he created the four pillars of un-magic. On the fifth day, Doom created life, his children of magic and science. On the sixth day, he created a world for this life where magic and science were wed. However, his creations revolted against him on the seventh day.

Psychic Nosebleed: Often, when Sue Storm is holding a forcefield against a particularly strong opponent. The Thing (Benjamin "Ben" Jacob Grimm), who is superhumanly big and strong, and comes with a measure of invulnerability — but also remarkably monstrous, and unlike the others, can't switch it off. Allstetter, Rob (August 23, 2016). "IMAGE COMICS FOR NOVEMBER". Comics Continuum. Archived from the original on August 28, 2016. Reed and Ben are the type of best friends that are so close they each consider the other their brother, blood relations be damned, making the Four all in-laws. Which explains a lot about all their conflicts, actually... Ching, Albert (January 25, 2011). "Associated Press Spoils Fantastic Four #587 Hours Before Comic Goes on Sale". Newsarama. Archived from the original on June 16, 2013.While far from a joke character in the truest sense, Reed has a reputation of being somewhat ineffectual (and least in comparison to how he should be changing the world), and is the trope namer of Reed Richards Is Useless. By contrast, he's also the namer of Alternate Universe Reed Richards Is Awesome, which is references the popular opinion that alternate universe versions of himself (such as the villainous Maker of Ultimate Marvel) are superior to the original. Hidden Elf Village: The Fantastic Four discovered Attilan, a hidden city, which was the retreat of the Inhumans, hidden in the Himalayas (they've moved since).

The Leader: He's the leader of the Fantastic Four and is usually in charge of making the team's tactical decisions and tries to look out for all of them. Comic-Book Time: Perhaps more visibly in force here than in any other comic. Franklin was born in 1968, and had yet to reach puberty for many decades of comics despite the fact that he really ought to be older than many, many Marvel Comics characters that are older than him despite having been born decades later. Best reflected in the fact that Kitty Pryde in one issue of Uncanny X-Men mused about offering to babysit Franklin to work off unwitting vandalism to the Fantastic Four's lab ( It Makes Sense in Context). Going by her introduction year of 1980, and her stated age at the time of 13, she's actually only one year older than Franklin (to be 13 in 1980 meant she was born in 1967). However, as of Dan Slott's run (which began in 2018), Franklin has finally grown enough to be a teenager. After the FF defeated a group of Skrulls, Reed gave them the option of returning to their homeworld in defeat, which would be a guaranteed death for failure, or take the form of terrestrial animals and have their memories erased so they'd forget being Skrulls. They were transformed into cows. This had unintended consequences later, as the Skrull-cows intermingled with other cows, creating hybrids, and were also put in the milking line and some sent straight to the slaughterhouse, where they entered the national food supply.Mind Rape: A notable example when the Psycho Man twisted Susan's emotions to turn her into the villain Malice. Sue explicitly compared the experience to being raped, and it was a key factor in her decision to change her name to the Invisible Woman, and take one of the biggest levels in badass in comics. Hollywood Autism: Susan once speculated that Reed's eccentric behavior and genius intellect to be due to autism. Classical Elements Ensemble: Frequently lampshaded in discussions about the team. The Human Torch controls fire, the Thing is seemingly made of stone, Mr. Fantastic flows like water, and the Invisible Woman becomes invisible like air.
