He is The Invisible Woman's brother and has the ability to control the fire that covers his body. Fantastic's wife, and she has the ability to become invisible.

With all its exploding vehicles, gigantic BossesĪnd explosive special moves. But that's far from being the game's most impressive visual effect. Sunken world of Atlantis-are almost entirely polygonal, and your characters can wander into and out of the background and behindĭistant structures. Although the heroes and enemies are all sprite-based, the environments-from the streets of New York to the The game is divided into five episodes, each culminating in a confrontation with an infamous enemy from the comic book (Dr. You and a friend canĪlso duke it out in Training Mode, which lets you practice moves in one-on-one bouts.

Since it's such a highly-regarded comic, you're mostly going to find it in graded form. As you might expect, the value on Fantastic Four #1 is ridiculously high. Not only was it the origin story for Marvel's first family, but it also marked the first comic book appearance of a team since the Golden Age of comics that lasted from the 1930s to the early 1950s. That certainly holds true for the Fantastic Four. For just about any comic line, the first issue is almost always the rarest and most valuable. Well it's about time we formally addressed the first issue.
