Reed Richards, a brilliant but timid and bankrupt scientist, is convinced
that evolution can be triggered by clouds of cosmic energy, and has
calculated that Earth is going to pass one of these clouds soon. Together
with his friend and partner, the gruff yet gentle astronaut muscle-man Ben
Grimm, Reed convinces his conceited MIT classmate Dr. Victor Von Doom, now
CEO of his own enterprise, to allow him access to his privately-owned space
station. Von Doom agrees in exchange for control over the experiment and a
majority of the profits from whatever benefits it brings. He thus brings
aboard Susan Storm, his shy, though assertive chief genetics researcher and
a former lover of Reed's with whom she had an acrimonious break-up, and her
diametrically opposed brother Johnny, the maverick and hot-headed playboy
pilot. The astronauts make it home intact; however, before long they begin
to mutate, developing strange and amazing powers as a result of their
exposure to the cloud! Reed is able to stretch like rubber; Sue can turn
invisible and create force fields, especially when angered; Johnny can
produce fire at supernova temperatures, and is able to fly; and Ben is
transformed into "The Thing", a large, rock-like creature with super
strength. After Ben, brooding about his situation on the Brooklyn Bridge,
inadvertently causes a major traffic pile-up whilst attempting to stop a
man about to commit suicide, the four manage to use their powers to prevent
any loss of life and to rescue a fire truck and its crew from falling off
the bridge in a resulting explosion. The media dubs the team the 'Fantastic
Four', and whilst Johnny eagerly embraces his powers and new life, Ben -
the most heavily disfigured - particularly suffers from his transformation;
his disfigurement has caused his fianc?e to abandon him and has seen him
shunned and feared by much of New York. Blaming himself, Reed vows to
return Ben to his human form, and he, Sue and Ben work on a cure,
constructing a healing chamber in Reed's high tech Baxter Building
loft-turned-laboratory. During this time, Reed and Susan begin to grow
close once again, and Susan admits that she is not interested in Victor,
but ended their relationship because Reed feared to commit, thinking only
in terms of variables. Unknown to the others, however, Victor's body is
also mutating; he is turning into organic metal capable of absorbing and
manipulating electrical energy known as Doctor Doom. As a result of the
disastrous expedition, his company is going bankrupt and he is losing
public stature; blaming Reed for his misfortunes, Victor swears revenge.
And Reed, Ben, Susan, and Johnny must defeat Victor Von Doom and foil his
evil plans once and for all.
Four astronauts have their lives changed forever, when they end up being
hit by a cloud of cosmic radiation. Reed Richards now has the ability to
stretch his body like elastic. Sue Storm (Alba) is now the invisible woman.
Johnny Storm becomes the human touch and Ben Grimm becomes the 'Thing', a
man made out of rock. But there is one problem. The journey's sponsor,
Victor von Doom has also been affects and with full power, is a dangerous
force which needs to be stopped, before it's too late.
When an experimental space voyage goes awry, four people are changed by
cosmic rays. Reed Richards, inventor and leader of the group gains the
ability to stretch his body, and takes the name, Mr. Fantastic. His
girlfriend, Sue Storm, gains the ability to turn invisible and create force
fields, calling herself the Invisible Woman. Her younger brother Johnny
Storm gains the ability to control fire, including covering his own body
with flame, becoming the Human Torch. Pilot Ben Grimm is turned into a
super-strong rock creature calling himself Thing. Together, they use their
unique powers to explore the strange aspects of the world, and to foil the
evil plans of Doctor Doom.
Reed Richards is a very talented scientist seeking the funding for a space
experiment. Along with his friend and partner Ben Grimm, he goes to
businessman Victor Von Doom and manages to get his support. So, Reed and
Ben, along with Doom, his partner Sue Storm and her brother Johnny, find
themselves aboard Doom's private space station. However an accident will
flood the station with cosmic rays and Reed, Ben, Sue and Johnny will gain
amazing powers thus becoming the Fantastic Four. But, the four of them
aren't the only ones affected by the cosmic rays...
Reed Richards is a brilliant scientist who along with friend, muscle-man
Ben Grimm seeks funding for a experimental space mission to study cosmic
radiation, from rich and powerful businessman Victor Von Doom. Agreeing,
Victor sets up a space station in orbit around Earth for Richards to begin
his experiment. Joined by cocky Johnny Storm and his sexy sister, Reed's ex
girlfriend Susan who is Victor's girlfriend, Reed and Ben arrive on the
space station to begin the experimental space mission, which goes wrong,
when they exposed to a cosmic radiation which alters their D.N.A. Returning
to Earth, they find the cosmic radiation has given them superhuman powers.
But the disaster of the space mission has caused Victor to go bankrupt and
he vows vengeance on Reed, where he bids for world domination and sets out
to get unleash hell by using his powers by controlling electricity that are
slowly turning his skin into metal. With Victor out for vengeance and world
domination, Reed, Ben, Susan and Johnny combine their super-powers and
become a team of super heroes known as "The Fantastic Four" and are the
only ones who can defeat Victor Von Doom and foil his evil plans.
