Though the Fantastic Four go to the very origins of Marvel Comics, their movie forays have been marked by missteps and disappointments.

First Steps" brings a new supergroup into the MCU while a post-credits scene gives a taste of an iconic supervillain. Spoilers!

Doctor Doom is one of the most beloved villains in Marvel's comics, but not so much when it comes to the Fantastic Four movies, and it's all too clear why.

Maybe “superhero fatigue” is a thing of the past – with DC’s “Superman” still soaring in theaters, Marvel’s “Fantastic Four” reboot is set to join the fun this weekend, with positive momentum.

Comic fans are embracing the latest showdown between Marvel and DC as their superhero films "Fantastic Four" and "Superman" compete for box office dominance, reigniting a rivalry spanning over eight decades.

The Fantastic Four was Marvel Comics first superhero team and their villains stretch back decades, but here are the most powerful.

Comics readers have very particular standards — I first saw the 1994 movie at an unauthorized screening full of fans yelling out their negative comments — and now that the team has entered the Marvel Cinematic Universe, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” has the chance to finally get things right.

Let’s get one thing out of the way: Yes, The Fantastic Four: First Steps has two end credits scenes. In classic Marvel fashion, one appears in the middle of the credits, while another appears at the end. While the latter is an animated theme song, in an homage to the 1967 cartoon intro, the former is quite revealing.

Marvel Studios is taking taking the MCU in a wild direction with The Fantastic Four: First Steps , and the biggest reveal yet is the introduction of Franklin Richards, one of the most powerful characters in Marvel Comics history.

Fortunately, we've narrowed it down to just five of the most classic comic stories to read to get into the Fantastic Four before their MCU debut, so dig in and join Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch, and the Thing on their cosmic explorations of the Marvel universe.
