The Fantastic Four essentially saved Marvel Comics in 1961 and started a veritable revolution in comics. Thus, it ought to come as no surprise, to find out that the original X-Men were deliberately created to compliment the Fantastic Four in pretty much every way. The Fantastic Four had a fire guy? X-Men had an Ice Man. The Fantastic Four had a dumb working class rock monster? The X-Men have a super smart nerd…..with muscles. The Fantastic Four is led by a super brain that can physically bend and stretch in any way? The X-Men have a super brain confined to a wheelchair. Oh, and they both have women too…..a traditional stay at home mom type in Sue Storm, verses the sorority co-ed that was Marvel Girl (Jean Grey). So if you didn’t already love the Fantastic Four, you were definitely going to love the X-Men, right? Right?!
