Description

Since I did individualized alternate designs for the Fantastic Four, I did a reworking of the group uniform designs for the team in this Alternate Marvel Universe.


In this alternate Marvel Universe Reed Richards is approached to develop new space shuttle shielding for Storm Aviation and Aeronautics, a contractor for NASA. The test shuttle’s shielding was tampered with by agents of Doctor Doom, who have covertly infiltrated Storm Aeronautics in an effort to discredit Reed Richards on the orders of Doom, otherwise over all origin, and villains intact, but updated and with cosmetic changes. Team acts as superhuman explorers of the extraordinary, employing their powers if attacked or in world threatening situations such as Doctor Doom’s global domination plots or alien invasions.



                           REED RICHARDS/MISTER FANTASTIC

In this alternate Marvel Universe he is the son of famed pioneering nuclear physicist Nathaniel Richards.

At time of his cosmic ray transformation, Reed has already achieved a quasi-celebrity status as a world renowned theoretical scientist-inventor (due to various scientific equations and formulas he correctly solved in his early teens) and has amassed a small fortune due to his various scientific inventions and being a much sought after lecturer for scientific & academic venues as well as a guest on various science related programs & documentaries.

With the money that he has gained from lectures, as well as the production and patenting of some of his more practical inventions (such as unstable molecular fabrics which are used by athletes and other active professions prior to the widespread uses as fabrics in superhuman costumes) it allows him to provide for the funding of the Fantastic Four’s exploratory and heroic endeavors after the team is established. His college history with Ben Grimm and Victor Von Doom remain intact.



                              SUSAN STORM/INVISIBLE WOMAN

Prior to her cosmic ray transformation in this alternate Marvel Universe Susan Storm has just gained co-principal ownership, along with younger brother Johnny, of Storm Aviation and Aeronautics, the leading manufacturer of air crafts and rockets for the military and NASA, after the recent untimely death of their parents in of all things a plane crash.

Sue herself brings aboard Reed Richards and his proposed shuttle shielding, after learning of his ideas from his friend and Storm employee, test pilot Ben Grimm, as a way of proving to skeptical senior company officials and the government that she is indeed capable of running Storm Aeronautics despite her sex, youth and perceived inexperience. When she learns that the senior members of Storm Aeronautics wish to suspend the shield project because of delays caused by the covert sabotage of Doom’s agents, she volunteers herself to go along with Reed and Ben on their impromptu test flight to prove the shield’s effectiveness.

Sue still has an active part in the day to day dealings of Storm Aviation & Aeronautics after the fateful transformation, which allows for co-funding of some of the Fantastic Four’s endeavors most notable various aircraft & aircraft parts which have been used by Reed Richards & Johnny Storm to create the teams various vehicles & modes of transportation.



                                      BEN GRIMM/THE THING

In this alternate Marvel Universe Ben Grimm is a top test pilot for Storm Aviation prior to the space trip and cosmic ray transformation. Ben learned to fly planes as a boy thanks to his Uncle Jake, an ex Air Force pilot and became a test pilot at Storm Aviation due to his flying skills after his plans for becoming a professional football player were ended due to a knee injury in his senior year of college.

The Thing’s form initially started out in the lumpy form state after his transformation and slowly over the next several months after their space flight his form continually under went change and finally stabilized into its current smooth & seemingly permanent rocky form. Ben is initially angry & bitter about his physical transformation but over time due to the Fantastic Four's success against the various threats they have gone against & the overall positive response received from the general public because of it, he has come to terms with and is comfortable in his new form if not fully accepting of it.





                                 JOHNNY STORM/HUMAN TORCH

Johnny Storm in this alternate Marvel Universe is co-principal owner and active business partner with his sister of Storm Aviation & Aeronautics. He goes along on the test flight to “protect” his older sister as well as gain the opportunity to go into space. He is an accomplished aviation designer and mechanic, as well as an amateur stunt pilot and race car driver in his spare time.

John is responsible for the designs and maintenance of the Fantasti-Car and Pogo Plane used by the team as well as serving as overall mechanic for all of the teams’ modes of transportation. Johnny remains the quick tempered, impatient and often times immature member of the group as displayed in his ongoing habit of pulling practical jokes on Ben.

I like how you have changed the background and origins here, does make more sense in an updated universe compared to originally.

Do you have a thought on what date they flew?
