Mundane Made Awesome: A recurring joke about the characters is that they'll go into space or another universe for picnics, or for coffee. In one story arc, Reed tried to remove Ben's mutation and add it to his own elasticity, but Ben refused to let him. "You're you an' I'm me, an' that's the cosmic plan." Kaiju: The Fantastic Four fought a lot of these within the first issues of the series. The list so far: Court Room Episode: Issue #262 is a follow-up on a story arc seen in Issues #242-244 where Galactus comes to Earth to die. Interestingly, this was spurred behind-the-scenes from Chris Claremont having the Fantastic Four make a brief appearance in Uncanny X-Men #167 to have Majestrix Lilandra of the Shi'ar Emprie call out Reed for saving Galactus from death. Not only was this appearance unauthorised by then-current FF writer John Byrne, he found the scene to come across as a " Take That!" towards his writing and complained to then-Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter about it. With Assistant Editor's Month coming up, Byrne decided to make an entire issue inspired by the X-Men appearance.Hollywood Autism: Susan once speculated that Reed's eccentric behavior and genius intellect to be due to autism. Spike Shooter: Thorn, a member of the Salem Seven, is able to do this, with the added benefit that his spines are Made of Explodium. Intelligence Equals Isolation: Reed has sometimes been shown as so smart that he feels even his loved ones can't really understand him. Fortunately, he overcame it enough to romance his wife and love his son. This intelligence and isolation also makes him quite ignorant to the point of disobedience of his fellow superhero allies and even placing his son, Franklin Richards, into a coma state. The Frightful Four, with varying line-ups, but almost always including the Wizard as Reed's particular counterpart. Most recent line-ups have also included Hydro-Man as a counterpart to Johnny. Elite Four: The eponymous group are four humans that made a daring venture into space, where exposure to cosmic radiation gave them superpowers. Reed Richards, "Mister Fantastic," is the team leader and also The Smart Guy; Ben Grimm, "The Thing," is The Big Guy; Johnny Storm, "The Human Torch," is the Lovable Rogue / wildcard of the group; and Susan Richards, "The Invisible Woman," used to be a frequent Damsel in Distress, until John Byrne's run on the series promoted her to The Lancer.

Power Trio: Reed, Ben and Sue. Later, during John Byrne's run, also Ben, Johnny and Alicia (carried over into the MC-2 universe with Ben, Johnny and Lyja). The Notable Numeral: The eponymous heroes and their enemies The Frightful Four, headed by the Wizard. Frontier (script and art, unreleased ongoing series — initially announced for November 2016) [43] [44]A running joke about their dynamics is the fact that their teamwork is so phenomenal and their Power of Friendship so strong in the face of danger that it has become legendary, yet they can barely function without constantly screaming at each other or stewing in bottled fury over personal conflicts whenever things are quiet. See also Doom, whose cries of "RICHARRDSSSSSSSSSSSS!" are almost as well-known as his talking about himself in the third person. And You Were There: Ben does this at the end of the seminal comic book issue "Fantastic Four Annual 1998". Heroic Sacrifice: Johnny does this to save his niece and nephew. He succeeds, but dies in the process. ( Don't worry, kids, this is a comic book).
