After the FF defeated a group of Skrulls, Reed gave them the option of returning to their homeworld in defeat, which would be a guaranteed death for failure, or take the form of terrestrial animals and have their memories erased so they'd forget being Skrulls. They were transformed into cows. This had unintended consequences later, as the Skrull-cows intermingled with other cows, creating hybrids, and were also put in the milking line and some sent straight to the slaughterhouse, where they entered the national food supply. Kl'rt the Super-Skrull has the powers of all four members of the Fantastic Four. Originally purely a villain but has often found himself in Enemy Mine situations with assorted Marvel characters.

Competence Porn: Reed Richards is generally considered the most competent and effective leader and scientist in the entire universe and the Four's adventures generally are all about their adventures and inventing and exploring somehow always saving the day. Lightning Bruiser: The Thing is just as agile and well-trained in martial arts as he was before his transformation, lots of people forget that. Woe on them.

Meta Fiction: The Fantastic Four: True Story miniseries involves the four exploring the Ideaverse after everyone becomes inexplicably adverse to fiction. The ideaverse is a metaphysical plane where all fictional characters reside, where inhabitants are shaped by the perceptions of readers and readers are shaped by them once there. The problem turned out to be an author recalling Nightmare enough to recount him as a novel. Thus rendered as a fictional character, he becomes like an invasive species and creates an army of monsters pushing further into older stories corrupting the whole thing inside out. The four are perceived by Dante Alighieri as American comic book superheroes to their surprise. Like other Marvel heroes, The Fantastic Four make their return to the Marvel Universe — with Scott Lobdell, Chris Claremont, Alan Davis and Salvador Larroca! And old enemies lie in wait, including the Mole Man, the Red Ghost, the Trapster, Ronan the Accuser, the Frightful Four, Terminus and Crucible!

The idea of The Thing being simultaneously physically strong, ugly, and smart was seen as revolutionary in comics. What Have I Become?: Ben Grimm had this come up a lot in the early years, but by this point now he's pretty much over it, although he has his good days and his bad days. The "bad days" that happen to him are usually caused by someone (most of the time a kid or kids) who're not used to seeing him up close get freaked out. Sometimes accompanied with a scream like "Mommy! It's a monster!" or some variation thereof, and he gets reminded of his hideous appearance. The real reason for this, however, is because True Art Is Angsty and writers sometimes want to do wangsty stories centered around him. For long-term fans who've followed FF stories through the years, it's getting a bit old.True Companions: Spider-Man is one of the most trusted allies and friends of the Four. After the Torch's supposed death, Spidey temporarily became a member of the Future Foundation.

Pals with Jesus: All four are friends with Uatu The Watcher, one of the most powerful beings of this universe. Even better: Galactus, a freakin' embodiment of a cosmic force, has said that the Fantastic Four are the only beings in the Universe that he can call his friends. In fact, in one issue we see an older version of Franklin promise Galactus that he'd be with him at the end of the universe. They share a moment floating above the Earth. Collects Marvel Team-Up (1972) 61-62; Marvel Two-in-One (1974) 50; Fantastic Four (1961) 209-218, 220-221, 232-260; Fantastic Four Annual (1963) 17; Avengers (1963) 233; Thing (1983) #2 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. Layman's Terms: Ben usually dumbs down the complex explanations Reed Richards comes up with for the people around him. When Reed starts speaking too Star-Trek even for him, it's also Ben who normally snaps at him to "Speak English, Stretcho!" The Marvel Universe officially marks the beginning of Comic-Book Time to be the event that gave the Fantastic Four their powers. Multiple handbooks and reference guides insist that at best only 14 years have passed since then in the entire verse, and fourteen years will be all that ever passes in the Marvel Universe if editorial can continue getting away with it. The Timely era comics and events which transpired during World War II— the adventures of Captain America the original Human Torch, and Namor the Sub-Mariner— were famously welded into continuity in Fantastic Four #3-4 where Johnny Storm runs into an amnesiac hobo and gives him a shave only to reveal him to be Namor, reviving his memory and restoring him as an anti-hero/anti-villain.

Beat Them at Their Own Element: During Super-Skrull's first appearance, he manages to produce flame hotter than the Human Torch can create, overwhelming him. Bad Future: Mark Millar's run revolves around one. Some time in the late 21st century, after most of Earth's heroes were killed off, Earth goes to utter crap. All the powerful and rich run for it, leaving everyone else behind to starve and die. 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.
