Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Ultimate Fantastic Four was a reimagining of the classic superhero team for Marvel Comics Ultimate Marvel line. It saw Reed Richards, Sue and her brother Johnny, as well as Ben Grimm, reimagined as young adults housed in the Baxter Building after an experiment in Inter-Dimensional Teleportation gives them all special abilities. Reed Richards is a young scientist, part of a government think-tank, charged with creating new technologies for the spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D.. An unsuccessful attempt at teleportation transforms the physical forms of himself, the children of the think tank director, his best friend Benn Grimm, as well as his colleague Victor Van Damme, into beings that are no longer human.Now a team of superheroes, the Fantastic Four spend their days fighting off intergalactic and inter-dimensional threats, many of which come about due to Reed's experiments, while they're hidden from the public eye, forced to live out their days in the Baxter Building under the eye of Dr. Franklin Storm.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The series lasted for sixty issues, from February, 2004 to April, 2009. After Ultimatum, the series was cancelled and the Four broke up: Sue continued her research at the Baxter Building, Ben became a test pilot for S.H.I.E.L.D., Johnny moved in with Spider-Man, and Reed moved back in with his family. In the "Ultimate Doomsday" trilogy of miniseries, it was discovered that Reed had become disgruntled, turning villainous, wanting to change the world by force. Meanwhile, Ben has shed his stone skin, becoming physically human again but having unknown energy powers. Johnny later became a member of the Ultimate X-Men.A new volume was launched in 2014, following the Cataclysm crossover. Dubbed Ultimate FF (as in Future Foundation, not Fantastic Four), the new series starred the Invisible Woman, Iron Man, The Falcon, Machine Man, Phil Coulson and Doctor Doom. After the disappointing sales of the first two issues, Marvel cancelled the book, effectively turning it into a 6 part mini-series.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Very loosely adapted into Fantastic Four (2015). | |

| Ultimate Fantastic Four (Comic Book) / int_2d834a85 | comment |
Un-Sorcerer: The "President Thor" arc. It details a world where the Skrull have given everyone superpowers; except Ben Grimm. The superpower gift is revealed to be a virus that feeds power into the Super-Skrull. It also can be activated to kill the carrier. The Skrull King activates the killer gene, but without any power source, the Super-Skrull is easily defeated by Grimm in a powersuit. | |

Elemental Powers | |

Elemental Powers Like the original versions, the Four's powers are said to correspond to the four elements, though comparing Reed to water is kind of a stretch. The same thing applies to Doctor Doom, who has been likened to the elemental of Metal. Namor seems to have a dash of Making a Splash powers alongside his Flying Brick set. | |

Utopia Justifies the Means Revka Temerlune Edifex Scyros III ("Psycho-Man"), enslaved an entire world by making them unable to feel anything but happiness, and did the same thing with the human-race after the populace of his home-world were brought out of his mind-control and their first encounter with negative emotions caused them to kill themselves and each other. In Ultimate Enemy, Reed Richards decides that blowing up buildings with tentacle monsters is a good way to stop people from using science for the wrong reasons. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: Early issues of The Ultimates seemed to imply that the Fantastic Four were already around and well-established as heroes before the Ultimates were even formed. Here this is contradicted by showing that the team's origin took place long after the formation of the Ultimates, with the Four themselves reimagined as a group of inexperienced teenagers. | |

Body Horror | |
| Ultimate Fantastic Four (Comic Book) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror Ben has stone skin, and it's apparently a miracle that he can even breath. Reed’s transformation removed most, if not all, of his internal organs. Johnny has to hibernate occasionally so that the layers of his skin that have been over-exposed to flames can flake off. In the beginning, Sue had trouble staying completely visible or invisible, so while her skin disappeared her nervous system, her skeleton or her muscles were still visible. Doctor Doom has become a being of living metal with a frankly demon-like appearance (including goat legs and a reptilian tail). Also, his organs are rotting into a noxious slime inside his body because he doesn't need them anymore; he can blast opponents with this slime or the fumes from it if he pleases. Rhona Burchill augmented her intelligence by literally placing some of her brother's brain matter in her own brain, causing her head to become hideously disfigured in the process. | |

The Frightful Four joins hands and disappears, the guards rush in... and then Zombie Reed Richards tells Zombie Sue Storm she can turn off their invisibility. | |

Adaptational Superpower Change: Ben Grimm eventually gains the ability to change between forms, unlike his 616 counterpart, who is stuck in the Rock form. Victor Von Doom gains ghastly scars on his face in the original continuity from an experiment backfiring on him, to hide these scars he wears a heavy armor. Here, Victor Van Damme's entire body turns to metal and he gains cloven feet like a demon, corrosive acid breath and the ability to fire off metallic skin-shards in the same accident that gave the Four their powers. | |

Required Secondary Powers | |
| Ultimate Fantastic Four (Comic Book) / int_5b6e57e | comment |
Required Secondary Powers: A lot of emphasis is put on how the four now function after the accident. Reed Richards has his body transformed into an undifferentiated "bacterial stack" with no internal organs or tissues, so he has no need to worry about, for example, his stretched arms going numb because his heart had to try to pump blood the length of a football field. How he gets energy without eating is glossed over. Sue Storm lampshaded the impossibility of her powers, pointing out that there's no conceivable reason why she should be able to see things while invisible. Luckily, she's a bio-geneticist and thinks the mystery is fascinating. | |

Magic Genetics | |
| Ultimate Fantastic Four (Comic Book) / int_5e105542 | comment |
Magic Genetics: Attempted to be justified, at least with Mr. Fantastic and the Human Torch. Johnny's powers come from his nuclear fusion, using his body as an energy source. Reed is able to stretch and not crush his organs because all he has in the way of organs is a colony of symbiotic bacteria who take in food and air and give his body nutrition. Their origin is justified as well now too, as their powers are not from cosmic radiation anymore, but rather from swapping bodies with a double from another universe. | |

The Extremist Was Right | |
| Ultimate Fantastic Four (Comic Book) / int_64d3ffd8 | comment |
The Extremist Was Right: It was lamphshaded by Nick Fury that despite his multiple acts of mass death and destruction, Reed Richards did manage to commit more good in the world in the short time he controlled the world than Nick or any of his associates have done in years. Even Sue admitted Reed was making the world into a better place while he was in control, but it was the means he undertook to get to that point that made everyone hate and attack him. | |

Always Save the Girl | |
| Ultimate Fantastic Four (Comic Book) / int_64edb99c | comment |
Always Save the Girl: Averted during the Ultimatum storyline. Reed Richards chooses to confront Doctor Doom and save the world at large, abandoning his dying girlfriend, Sue. Eventually, she calls him out for it and breaks up with him. He explains that he made the "logical" choice, as saving the world would ultimately mean saving her as well. Sue remarks that she always felt that their love defied logic, and leaves him. | |

False Innocence Trick | |
| Ultimate Fantastic Four (Comic Book) / int_64f55e69 | comment |
False Innocence Trick: Namor is found in the ruins of Atlantis and he tells the Four that he was its ruler long ago, in a nod to the mainstream version. Things go south when Reed translates the warnings on the building Namor was found in and realizes that Namor was being held in a prison. For good reason, since he's the kind of evil jerk who would threaten to flood New York unless Sue gave him a kiss. | |

The Call Put Me on Hold | |
| Ultimate Fantastic Four (Comic Book) / int_7630ffdb | comment |
The Call Put Me on Hold: Inverted in an arc, where an alternate Ben Grimm puts himself on hold. The gist is that Time Travel creates an alternate timeline where an alien pill grants everyone on Earth super-powers... except for Ben Grimm, who decides not to take it because he's happy with himself just as he is. Various characters remark that he's the most well-adjusted person they know, which makes his current situation as the suicidally depressed Thing even more tragic. In that timeline, the pill ends up killing everyone who had taken it, leaving Ben to apply some more time travel to clean up the pieces. For bonus angst, the way the situation's set up means that he accidentally causes himself to get eaten by the local Clock Roaches and then die hundreds of years ago in an ancient Mayan Temple. On the bright side, when the Skrull leader comes to Earth with the ability to copy the power of any superhuman within a huge radius, Ben points out that if the only human left on Earth has no powers, than neither does the Skrull leader. Ben then proceeds to kick the now powerless Skrull's ass. Epically. | |

Inexplicable Language Fluency | |
| Ultimate Fantastic Four (Comic Book) / int_84de5c29 | comment |
Inexplicable Language Fluency: Downplayed. Namor demonstrates this trope after spending nine thousand years of being sealed inside a sarcophagus prison. Being from an ancient civilization of Atlantis that predates the modern English language, he initially has no idea what his new captors are saying when they find him. However, thanks to his psionic powers he proves to be a frighteningly fast learner and is able to learn English within an hour to understand modern American English and casually deliver threats and demands. Happens again when the Four meets the Silver Surfer who is able to understand English perfectly the instant he arrives to Earth for the first time. He justifies this by stating can decipher electromagnetic signals in the air to learn alien tongues in seconds. | |

Never My Fault | |
| Ultimate Fantastic Four (Comic Book) / int_973d220f | comment |
Never My Fault: Victor Van Damme interfered with Reed Richards' prototype teleporter. The resultant energies resulted in the creation of the Fantastic Four, and his own transformation into a demonic-looking being of living metal. Doctor Doom insists that the transformation is not his fault, but rather that Reed's calculations were "so bad even [he] couldn't fix them". The fact Reed lays the blame for the transformation squarely on van Damme is supposed to show that they're similar, but it kind of falls flat when we see that, in an Alternate Universe where van Damme kept his grubby fingers to himself, nobody was transformed. Of course, that universe also resulted in humanity being wiped out by the Skrulls when they appeared as benefactors and gave everyone superpowers... with deliberately flawed technology that caused them to all die afterwards... but what's that saying about omelets and eggs? | |

Despite the thorough humiliation of showing up at a fancy party dressed as Carmen Miranda when he's already a gigantic rock-skinned thing, Grimm hooks up with Alicia Masters shortly afterward. Before getting over the prank and meeting Alicia, he reveals that he's tried and failed to kill himself due to his invulnerability and wonders if Reed can find a way to kill him. Then they try to time travel to undo his origin story. Johnny's prank tore open a still fresh wound. | |

Everyone Is a Super | |
| Ultimate Fantastic Four (Comic Book) / int_b68757d4 | comment |
Everyone is a Super: In one storyline, Reed went back in time and prevented the teleportation experiment by fixing the calibration of the teleporter so that Ben Grimm wouldn't have to be The Thing. The result was an alternate world where humanity achieves first contact with the Skrulls, who provide them with special pills that turn everyone on Earth into a superhuman, with Grimm being the only one on Earth who doesn't take them and quite happy about it. Until it turned out to be the aliens' way of killing the entire human race, and Ben had to fix it. | |

The Bro Code: In '"Ultimate Enemy", Ben confesses to Sue that he's fallen for her, but had refused to act on or acknowledge those feelings because she was with Reed. After some consideration, Sue realizes that she felt the same way. Though we never get to see how this might have affected Ben's friendship with Reed, since the team had already dissolved by the time Ben confessed, and by the time Sue and Ben got together, Reed was trapped in the N-Zone, apparently presumed dead. Reed has since become aware of their relationship and regards it with a mixture of ambivalence and malice. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Ultimate Fantastic Four (Comic Book) / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: In Ultimate Fantastic Four #7, it is explained that on Victor Van Damme's tenth birthday he was presented with his family history dating back to Vlad Tepes Dracula and the blueprint for his villainous mindset, and from that day on at dinner he was required to recite said family history from memory, receiving beatings when he got it wrong and being forced to start over until he got it right. The last page of the flashback shows 10-year-old Victor sitting in the chair where he received the original lecture and instruction in five panels depicting it slowly getting darker. In the last one, he says "It's my birthday." Played straight with the Maker as well; Reed Richards. Abused by his father, not respected by his peers, bullied in high school, and the world didn't change the way he wanted it to. | |

Series Continuity Error | |
| Ultimate Fantastic Four (Comic Book) / int_ca95473c | comment |
Series Continuity Error: The very first story arc established Reed and Sue as 21 years old when they first became superheroes. Later issues would inexplicably claim they were no older than 18 at the present. The Maker/Reed Richards shows to Falcon how he keeps his intellect always a few steps ahead of The Children by elongating his brain. That shouldn't be possible or even necessary. To elaborate: in the first run of the series, Sue ran some tests on Reed and found out that his organism was completely mutated; he became a worm-like being with just a core, no organs other than that. And later, Sue's mother remarked that Reed was getting smarter by the minute due his mutation. So in the span of a thousand years Reed would be evolving his genius naturally, and there would be no brain for him to elongate. | |

It does not end well, but only because of the Batman Gambit of the Token Evil Diplomat. Reed works for a government think-tank, but eventually gets so frustrated at not being able to change the world for the better in this position that he decides to MAKE things change. By force. He's since conquered most of Europe, destroyed Washington, D.C., killed nearly all the Asgardians, and now rules a nation notably more powerful than the United States. Until he was stopped by Tony Stark's sentient tumor. | |

Continuity Snarl | |
| Ultimate Fantastic Four (Comic Book) / int_df582b0b | comment |
Continuity Snarl: In Ultimate Spider-Man and The Ultimates the Fantastic Four are referenced and Reed Richards is a notable enough scientist to have a building at ESU named after him, but very early on in Ultimate Fantastic Four, before the team comes together, there are references to The Ultimates. This is because of a change in plans. Originally, the Fantastic Four we were seeing in Ultimate Spider-Man and The Ultimates were going to be adults, while Ultimate Fantastic Four would take place a decade or so in the rest of the line's past, establishing the FF as the first super heroes and cornerstones of heroic society in the Ultimate Universe. The plan got muddled and changed, but it's very apparent when Sue Storm, 16-ish here, shows up during Ultimate Spider-Man's "The Clone Saga" and is clearly in her late 20s/early 30s. | |

And now the FF have totaled a space shuttle, cause grave devastation in Las Vegas, unleashed an alien invasion, revealed themselves to the public in a manner that can not be concealed or refused... and then Reed hands him a souvenir from the alternate universe. A hand weapon with a death ray, easy to reverse-engineer and produce in high numbers. All was suddenly forgiven. | |

Reed works for a government think-tank, but eventually gets so frustrated at not being able to change the world for the better in this position that he decides to MAKE things change. By force. He's since conquered most of Europe, destroyed Washington, D.C., killed nearly all the Asgardians, and now rules a nation notably more powerful than the United States. Until he was stopped by Tony Stark's sentient tumor. | |

MacGyvering: Subverted in the "Frightful" arc, where zombie Mr. Fantastic convinces the soldiers guarding the Frightful Four's cell that he's built a teleporter out of stuff lying around the cell and they promptly disappear. Turns out Zombie Invisble Woman had just made them all invisible so that the guards would open the cell to investigate, whereupon they were eaten. | |
