My New Fantastic 4 Relaunch Idea

 

My idea for a New Fantastic 4 relaunch.

Now I love Fantastic 4 but did you know there was a new Fantastic Four with Spidey, Wolverine, Ghost Rider, and Hulk? Yeah, it existed in the 90s. Look it up. 

During the Emprye event, they brought back the team briefly, but just Spiderman and Wolverine, with Franklin Richards and his sister Valeria Richards as members. So I was thinking, why not make a relaunch of the New Fantastic 4 title like we focus a new team like the original Fantastic 4 is still around. Still, we have them on the go on some cosmic adventures, traveling to different realities and exploring the multiverse. While this Fantastic 4 stays on earth to protect the world. 

This New Fantastic Four would be somewhat different from the 90s version and from what we got Empyre.

So what happens is Reed decides to put together a second Fantastic 4 team seeing how there wasn't a team for a while before him, and Sue got back from restoring the multiverse after Secret Wars. So the team decides they will travel through the multiverse and help people in those universes because Reed learns that Multiverse is facing some problems. However, their universe needs a Fantastic 4, so Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben look for the right people for the job. To keep the Fantastic 4 name alive.

Reed meets with Peter Parker, aka Spiderman. Spidey has had a history with the Fantastic Four as he was a team member and considered family to them. So Reed offers him to be part of this team but not just be a member but also lead this team as well. Spidey learns this and is quite shocked that Reed wants him to lead the team, but he was the leader of the New Fantastic Four, so he agrees. He also asks Reed if he and Mary Jane, pregnant, can move into the Baxter Building and whether he is okay with it because they consider Peter family. 

Spiderman would be the Team Leader/Brains

of The New Fantastic 4.

Sue would meet with Jennifer, aka She-Hulk, about joining a new Fantastic 4 now; Jen would be back to her original size, not that god-awful current look. Jen had been a member of the Fantastic 4 before taking Ben's place on the team, and she was a member of FF. After Sue convinces her that she would be an excellent fit for this team and reminds her how to serve as a member during FF, they consider her family. Hearing that touched Jen, so she agreed because she would like to be part of a small team of heroes, not a big one like the Avengers. 

She-Hulk would be the Muscle

of the New Fantastic 4 

Ben would meet with Wolverine at a bar and tell him about a new Fantastic 4 team they are putting together, and Ben thinks Logan should join the team as the team's tough guy. At first, Wolverine declines the offer, but it isn't until a bar fight breaks out, and they beat up everybody. After that fight, Wolverine agrees to rejoin the New Fantastic 4; later, he's a little annoyed that Spidey is his leader. He has to deal with it. We would see him give Spidey a hard time being the leader, but he respects Spiderman and considers him a little brother, even if he won't admit it. 

Wolverine would be the Tough Guy

of the team.

Johnny meets with Crystal of the Inhumans, and seeing how the two used to have a relationship, he asks her to join this new Fantastic 4 team. Crystal is somewhat surprised by what Johnny would want because she is also an ambassador for the Inhumans of Earth. However, Johnny tells her what better way to be an ambassador than be a member of one of the best superhero teams on earth. He also tells her how she was a member of the team and a great addition to the team while Sue was pregnant with Franklin. After hearing what Johnny says, she agrees to join the New Fantastic 4. 

Crystal would be the Powerful One

of the new team

So that's the New Fantastic 4 Team lineup. I would have Spiderman and Wolverine on the team and She-Hulk and Crystal on the team, but they are replacing Hulk and Ghost Rider. This team is to take over for the Fantastic 4 while traveling through the multiverse. Like the FF did back in Marvel Now, I look at New Fantastic Four for the idea. 

They would wear Fantastic 4 costumes. There will be blue, much like the drawings here, but the other team still wears black and blue works better for the other team. This team also has their own Fantastic Car that Wolverine drives and on their symbols are the letter 4. I mean, I did use inspiration from the FF Run back in 2013, so there is some inspiration with that, and since this is a relaunch of New Fantastic 4, there's inspiration from there. 

Supporting Characters in the story 

Mary Jane 

Mary Jane would be a supporting character in the series. She's Peter's wife, expecting their first child with Peter. They move into the Baxter Building, and she even helps the team during some missions and gives them advice on stuff. She still owns her club and working hard at it. 

HERBIE 

HERBIE would be the new team's high-tech computer that helps them with their equipment and fix things. He also becomes fast friends with Mary Jane and even helps with her business by upgrading it. He does miss Reed, Sue, Johnny, Ben, Franklin, and Valera, but he knows they will come back, and it's his job to help the new team and keep the Baxter Building intact. 

Wyatt Wingfoot 

Wyatt Wingfoot would be helping the New Fantastic 4; he was She Hulk's ex-boyfriend. It's awkward for the two of them at first. Also, Wyatt is happy that she is back to standard size. He points out to her that she looked too much like Bruce, and Jen isn't offended by the comment even though she hated that comparison but tells her ex if he brings that up again, she will smash him. Wyatt would be checking in on the team and helping them out through problems. 

Lockjaw 

Lockjaw would be the team's faithful dog who would, at one point, help the team teleport to certain areas. They use Lockjaw to help teleport after the Fantastic car gets wrecked at one point. He also keeps MJ safe in case anyone attacks the Baxter Building.

The Fantastic Four head for the Multiverse. 

While a new team keeps the Fantastic Four name alive.

When the Fantastic 4 go on their multiverse adventure, they wish the new team good luck and tell them to remember they are a team and somehow their family. Fantastic 4 is all about family. They understand as they all had a history with each other as well. Spidey is going to be a dad soon.

When they leave, the team gets a distress call, and Mole Man is attacking the streets of Queens. Spidey looks at the group. "Let's go, team." He tells them. They get into the Fantastic Car and head to Queens to battle with Mole Man.

Now, what would be next for the New Fantastic 4? We would see them facing problems like we would see Spidey be a full-time leader for the first time, he's struggling a bit to get the team ready, and he's getting ready for fatherhood; Wolverine whose basically the mutant of the team; he's the tough guy of the group he might have more experience leading then Spidey does, but he actually thinks Spidey is the right guy to lead this team, She-Hulk being the lawyer of the team, and the voice of reason, and she knows this a comic book story. Crystal is doing her best to represent the Inhumans by being part of the team, and she's also the most powerful team member.

This series also has them facing off against Fantastic Four villains. Like the first issues, they fight Moleman, a long-time enemy of the Fantastic 4; their next big foes are a new Frightful Four (Team Rooster led by Wizard. His team is Sandman, Titania, and Reptile.). At some point, they would face big foes like Annihilus and maybe Dr. Doom in future issues. 

Mole Man is the first enemy to fight for. He is trying to destroy New York and summons a mighty creature with all the Fantastic 4 abilities. 

New Frightful Four. Wizard reforms a New Frightful Four to battle against this new Fantastic 4.

His team Rooster is Sandman, Titania, and Reptile.  

Wizard would fight Spiderman.

Sandman would fight Wolverine.

Titania would fight She-Hulk. 

The reptile would fight Crystal.

Some great villains for them to fight in the future. Annihilus would be a powerful foe they would fight in the future. 

I know I replaced Hulk and Ghost Rider, but I would have those two characters appear in future stories where they help the team. 

I don't know if I would, but I would have them rejoin the team and relaunch the series as the Fantastic 6 or F6. 

This is my idea for a relaunch of the New Fantastic Four. Now I did something like this with how I would recon Marvel Comics, and I was going to have Ghost Rider at first, but I changed it to Wolverine instead. 

We would also see these characters who have had a history with each other, and they've been Fantastic Four members in the past, and now they are the New Fantastic 4 of Earth. It's about keeping the legacy going and not being forgotten. Do you think you like the idea of a New Fantastic Four relaunch? Let me know.
