I have really come to love these videos that focus on the retconed adventures of our heroes before they became heroes. Plus you mentioned the Frightful Four, so I'm going to have to ask for a video on THE FRIGHTFUL FOUR. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!
Out of All the siblings In the In Marvel Comics This one is the one that stands out the most Between Quicksilver And Scarlet Witch Or Black blot or Maximus
All the Quicksilver incest lusting over a sister vibes really ruined those two long before the ultimates. I have no idea what writer was writing that subtext in there, but it was heavy and creepy
Oof Why did you use the weird age gap origin with Reed and Sue 😭😭😭😭 Isn't that retconed way back in 2014 in Matt Fractions run??? Besides they're on the same age group originally and the age gap is a retcon in Byrne run (Its just odd cuz I noticed you used some panels from the 2014 run and never mentioned the revised origin at all)
The initial 60s stories had Reed and Ben as "college students" who had somehow also served overseas in the military and won several medals (both), played pro ball and acquired a military pilot's license (Ben) and racked up numerous doctorates (Reed)... and yet had *still* just recently graduated when they hooked up with Sue & Johnny (the latter definitely a teenager in high school) for the test flight. Their ages *never* worked.
@@briancurtis6022 I just recently got into FF and from what I've read I'm pretty sure their military background came immediately right after they graduated colleges (it's implied Ben and Reed signed up literally after graduating) so I don't think it's that confusing tbh Reed having multiple doctorates isn't really shocking either cuz you can just lump it to him being a child prodigy (when Hickman was writing Maker in the OGUltimateU it's said that 616 Reed got 4 doctorates at the age of 14 cuz he's a Nepobaby) Still though, even if their ages doesn't make sense before, the whole age gap thing is still a retcon that got retconed again, and the recent FF writers acknowledge Matt Fractions retcon of their ages, so technically that's what's canon now
Fun fact: Reed Richards powers are directly inspired by plastic man, as Stan Lee said in an interview: "I liked Plastic Man. That's a great power, and nobody is using it so I gave Reed Richards Plastic Man's power". For context at the time Plastic Man was a Quality Comics character and by the 1960's Quality was a defunct company, which meant Plastic Man was no longer published.
Of all comics being produced in the 60's and 70's there is no other enormous, entertaining series than the FF. Excellent job. This was the shi@$%^t when I was a kid. Not anymore. Something about the era that was perfectly captured in this book just epitomizes everything I enjoyed about comics 😂❤❤❤
Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video? Are you going to do history of Reed Richards as Mr Fantastic and his evil counterpart the Maker along with Herbie the Fantastic Four robot, Franklin Richards and Valeria Richards?
Which Movie or TV Shows do you think did a great job in portraying the Sue Storm and Johnny Storm? Which live action version of them like Jessica Alba and Chris Evans or Kate Mara and Michael B Jordan do you think is the best also what do you think Vanessa Kirby and Joseph Quinn are going to play them in the MCU?
What do you think is the best thing about Sue_Storm the Invisible Woman and Johnny Storm The_Human_Torch in the comics? Which one of their powers and abilities do you think is the best?
Are you going to do history of lesser known characters like Rom_the_Spaceknight, Stingray, Ultimo, Inferno, Zora_Vukovic Victorious, Flerken, Blacklash, Deathlok, Elematrix, Vertigo, Ahab, Orb, Speed freak, Masked Raider, Red_Wolf, Tarantula, Forge, Bishop, Lilandra, Death bird, Titanium_Man, Crimson Dynamo, Dreadknight, Deathcry, Kobik AKA the Cosmic Cube, Blizzard, Avril Kincaid Quasar, Starbrand, Nightmask, Bastion, Master Mold, Nimrod, Starhawk, Fixer, Whirlwind, Chemistro, Whiplash, the Controller, Madam_Masque, Count_Nefaria, Ava Ayala the White Tiger, Crossfire, Living Laser, Century, Lore and Technovore?
Can you do history of Ironheart, Amatsu-Mikaboshi, Arno_Stark Iron Man, Squirrel_Girl, Constrictor, Deathlok, Amadeus_Cho, the Griever, Pepper Potts AKA Rescue and the Agents of Atlas along with Crescent, Morgan_Le_Fey, White Fox and Luna Snow?
Can you do history of the Elementals(Hellfire, Magnum, Hydron and Zephyr), Bastion, Master Mold, Nimrod, Inferno, Zora_Vukovic Victorious, Night Nurse, Lilandra, Death bird, Lady-Lotus, Sundragon and Phyla_Vell along with the Supreme Intelligence, Puppet_Master, Diablo, Mole_Man and Angel Salvador/Tempest along with Exodus and Ex-Nhilo?
Can you do history of the Living_Brain, the Elementals, Cyclone, Hydro Man, Molten Man, Puck, Ahab, Rom_the_Spaceknight, Stingray, Noh-Varr Marvel_Boy, Starbrand, Nightmask, Ava Ayala the White Tiger, Crossfire, Living Laser, Century, Lore and Technovore?
What do you think Sue Storm and Johnny Storm would be like if their dad never went to prison and got to grow up with him? Who could believe that the powerful Franklin Richards is named after him? Can you do history of Franklin Richards?
Which one of the powers of the siblings do you think is the best? What would happen if the Fantastic Four each had the powers to control the elements with Johnny Storm already having Fire powers, Do you think Sue Storm should have water powers to go with her invisibility and force field abilities?
the FF and of course Spiderman got me hooked on Marvel comics back in the 70's and I'm still a huge fan. But they are just SO under-utilized by current Marvel writers. The Invisible Woman and Human Torch are easily the most powerful members of the FF. Sue's force field can punch through a Celestial's armor and the Human Torch's NOVA blast easily incinerated Annihilus and his huge Negative Zone army when he was trapped there. Would love to see another innovative writer showing Susan's force fields can be shaped and utilized in so many different ways, offensively and defensively. And the Torch has always been experimenting with his flame like creating fiery doppelgängers to distract an enemy, drawing the heat and oxygen away from an opponent, etc.
Who do you think is the best love interest for Johnny Storm The_Human_Torch between Frankie Raye Nova, Lyja, Zsaji, Kaila, Kourtney Keaton and Doris Evans if the comic writers didn't make him screw up with them? Do you think he would have better luck with one of them in the MCU? Can you do history of all of them?
The reason why I Love the fantastic Four is because there the first superhero team to have there identities Known to the world And they don't were Mask's
There being a Ghost Rider before Johnny Blaze makes no sense. The motorcycle motif was an extension of the host's (in that case, Blaze) personality. If he'd been a horseman, he'd have been given a demonic steed; if a pilot, then inferno based flight and so on. But a demon motorcycle enthusiast who coincidentally possessed a motorcycle stuntman? Please.
Can you do history of S'ym, Shroud, Master Pandemonium, Sleepwalker, D'Spayre, Lilith, Chthon, Mephisto, Black heart, Dormammu, Doyle Dormammu, Clea, Nightmare and Pkzkrfmknna along with Crystal, Magma and Vance_Astrovik AKA Justice?
What was up with Sue_Storm having better luck with romance after officially being a couple with Reed Richards while Johnny Storm being a hopeless romantic after being in relationships with so many people?
that just comes down to Johnny still being an immature younger brother character, that can't hold onto a relationship. unlike johnny, Sue is the more mature one out the two and being able to hold down her romantic relationship with reed for over 60 years.
Are you going to do history of Ironheart, M'Baku, Namora, Attuma and Shuri as the Black Panther since they played a major role in the Black Panther Wakanda Forever movie?
i have 0 faith in the MCU at this point so i just hope we see the 97 tackle a more interesting version of the FF and avengers. i am dreading live action xmen 😂
They retconed the age gap in Fantastic four (2014), Reed and Sue are the same age now when they met in her aunt's boarding house!!!! Also keep in mind that the age gap IS A RETCON during John Byrnes Fantastic four run, Originally (in Lee/Kirby run) Reed and Sue are the same age and are childhood neighbors
I have never 👎 liked the fantastic four they’re already Susan has issues and I thought Jonny was bad never knew she was so mean to Ben no wonder he act like he act he even a bigger hothead than Jonny the thing is half as strong as the hulk I am aware how powerful Susan gotten
Let's just agree on one thing, Invisible Woman and Mr.Fantastics wedding was a terrible mistake! There's no way I'm ever gonna believe Mr.Fantastic is the smartest person in the marvel universe!
@@johnthai6188 if you know anything about Reid Richards, you know why it’s bad to be in a relationship with him. He’s been a sexist asshole time and time again, plus he supported the superhero registration act, meaning he had no regard for other superheroes privacy and didn’t care if their enemies tried to kill their loved ones, and during that same time he and others had the hulk sent away, and after everything bad that happened to the hulk, he had no regret! Sue deserves far better than that jerk!
@@jakeproven256 OK. here's why you are wrong. 1. him being sexist was how he was written during the time. if you have read any modern FF run be it from hickman, mark waid, james robinson, or ryan north, you would know he's not sexist. 2. his characterization during the planet hulk or civil war stories were out of character for him. which i mean, not only was reed out of character during civil war, everyone was. even before the civil war event, reed during the walt simonson run didn't like the superhero registration act. 3. if you had read hickman's FF run, the beginning of that run, he has admitted his regret with his actions during those times. 4. Sue loves reed because he's willing do anything for his family and in reed's own words, "sue makes him a better person." 5. reed also saved the marvel universe during secret wars 2015, let go of being in the council of reeds to be with his family, had spider-man join the team, because it was in johnny's will that he wanted peter to join, reed gave his family the celebrity lifestyle to replay for his mistake about ruining their lives with their failed rocket launch etc. i could go on, but coming from your comment it doesn't look like you are an FF reader, because if you were then you would know that Reed isn't a horrible person.
John Byrne really loved a sat morning cartoon mighty orbots. And borrowed a lot of stunts/ feet’s as well as box resembling tor The show was the victim of a franchise that grabbed from the same anime and toy line. Godmar and was forced to cancel. Date it was the most Beautiful well-made Saturday morning cartoon ever and was my official introduction to the company TMS
First Ben Grimm, a.k.a, The Thing, and now Susan Storm, a.k.a., the Invisible Woman and Jonathan Storm, a.k.a, the Human Torch!!!
I have really come to love these videos that focus on the retconed adventures of our heroes before they became heroes.
Plus you mentioned the Frightful Four, so I'm going to have to ask for a video on THE FRIGHTFUL FOUR.
As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

That was an unexpected treat love this stress relieving channel ❤❤😂
THIS CHANNEL IS 'EXCELSIOR' 👍 ..
Sue and Johnny are a great sibling team. 😀👍
This has become one of my must watch favorite channels. I would request you cover Green Goblin, and the Impossible Man. Thanks for the awesome shows!
Oof Why did you use the weird age gap origin with Reed and Sue 😭😭😭😭

Oh thank god they retcon it
It was common back in the 60s and it's still common in many parts of Latin America and Europe.
Of course it was John Byrne who wrote that into existence 😭😭😭
The initial 60s stories had Reed and Ben as "college students" who had somehow also served overseas in the military and won several medals (both), played pro ball and acquired a military pilot's license (Ben) and racked up numerous doctorates (Reed)... and yet had *still* just recently graduated when they hooked up with Sue & Johnny (the latter definitely a teenager in high school) for the test flight.

Now please do the goat doctor Reed Richards
Reed is great, the ff are my favorite marvel team
Don't forget his evil counterpart the Maker
Are Franklin Richards and his sister Valeria Richards going to be done after him?
@@quentinfogger5755 I hope so

Just discovered your channel today. Great videos. I liked them so much I subscribed. Keep up the good work!
Can you do one on Cassandra Nova, the big bad for Deadpool and Wolverine?
please make a other video on them and one on the susan's son and daughter
So when are you going to do history of Zora_Vukovic Victorious since you did the history of Dr_Doom?
Great series! My topic suggestion: Moonstone (Dr. Karla Sofen), who has a very complex history.
What do you think Sue_Storm and Johnny Storm would be like if they became a sibling duo Superhero team like Aurora and Northstar?
What do you think is the best thing about Sue_Storm the Invisible Woman and Johnny Storm The_Human_Torch in the comics? Which one of their powers and abilities do you think is the best?
Do part 2 please 🙏🏿
Love the video but I'm never gonna be a fan of Reed and Sue meeting while she was a kid lol
Do Mr Fantastic next

I think they will have elements of their origin in the new fantastic four movie next year
Reed looked ancient back in the 60's.

What was up with Reed Richards being a couple of years older than Sue Storm but despite that they ended up being a couple?
Can you do history of S'ym, Shroud, Master Pandemonium, Sleepwalker, D'Spayre, Lilith, Chthon, Mephisto, Black heart, Dormammu, Doyle Dormammu, Clea, Nightmare and Pkzkrfmknna along with Crystal, Magma and Vance_Astrovik AKA Justice?

She had a crush on Reed even though he's practically already an adult?😮😮 That's sooo wrong!
Do Daredevil!
Do Stick and the Chase!
Do Gladiator!
Do Doctor Strange!
Do Dormammu!
Hold on a second!? Susan Storm is seven years younger than Reed Richards!? Holy-! And I thought I was a fan of Marvel!
That's shocking since it didn't look like that in the movies and TV Shows

I just want to know merrymarvelite is ok?!
I’m sensing something, Idk? Just, are you good?!
My favorite Marvel Superhero team is the Fantastic Four!
The Invisible Woman and The Human Torch are my least favorite Fantastic Four members!
It's a shame that the current up-and-coming live-action film is just going to fail miserably
How do you know?
Miracle Man-- Ozzy Osbourne.🤔🤔🤔
I am GORMUUU!!!!!👹👹👹
I hate when they make Sue Storms an ungrateful housewife.
