-Reed Richards is a highly intelligent, but timid and bankrupt scientist who is convinced that evolution can be started by clouds of cosmic radiation. And he predicts that the Earth will pass one of these clouds.
-Along with his friend, a rough and tumble astronaut Ben Grimm, Reed tries to convince a fellow MIT grad named Victor von Doom to allow him access to his own private space station. Von Doom agrees on one condition: That he gets a cut of any money earned as part of it and control of the experiment.
-And along with von Doom comes Susan Storm, a shy chief genetics researcher and former girlfriend of Reed's and also her brother, a hot tempered playboy named Johnny Storm. While up in space, they go through a space storm and come back to Earth intact. Except that now, they have superpowers!
-Reed Richards can stretch his body into fantastic shapes and incredible lengths. Sue can turn invisible. Johnny can turn into a walking tower of flame and make it go to supernova temperatures. Ben turns into something called "The Thing", a towering pile of rock with superhuman strength.
-While the media dubs them "The Fantastic Four", Ben is unhappy with the situation. His fiancee has left him and now he feels alone. Reed blames himself and him and Susan try to create a cure for the condition and they grow close once more.
-While the others are discovering their new powers, Victor is also surprised to discover he has super powers as well. He is able to capture and manipulate pure electrical energy. He decides to call himself "Dr. Doom". And now because of the mishap at the space station, his company is going bankrupt and he blames Reed. So now "The Fantastic Four" must stop Victor von Doom from exacting payback on them.
