Fantastic Four Casting

During his time in college, Reed shared his dreams of space exploration with his friend, Ben. In turn, Ben pledged to fly any spaceship created by Reed. However, the government pulled its funding from the project shortly before Reed completed his work. Desperate to test the ship before it was dismantled, Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny broke into the official facility and launched an unauthorized flight. Their mission was seemingly a success, but the ship’s shields failed to protect them from a massive dose of cosmic radiation. The vessel subsequently crashed back to Earth. All four friends survived the experience, but Reed found his body had taken on elastic properties that allowed him to change his size and length. Susan gained the ability to turn invisible while Johnny attained control over fire. Tragically, Ben’s enhanced strength and durability gave his skin and body a rock-like appearance that robbed him of the ability to pass as human. Despite the sudden turn of events, the quartet realized the potential of their powers and chose to become a team. The Fantastic Four take to the skies Upon their public debut, Reed took on the codename Mr. Fantastic, Susan became the Invisible Girl, Johnny claimed the original Human Torch’s name as his own, and Ben adopted the Thing as his persona. The Fantastic Four made an immediate splash by defeating the Mole Man and his army of monsters.
