Characters
After being exposed to cosmic rays, Reed Richards, Susan Storm, Ben Grimm and Johnny Storm found they had amazing new powers. Reed Richards found he has the ability to stretch his body in any way he wanted, while Susan Storm can turn herself, objects and other people invisible. Ben Grimm transformed into a rocky, super-strong behemoth and Johnny Storm has the ability to set himself on fire. Dubbed the Fantastic Four, Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Thing and the Human Torch are Marvel's First Family.
The radiation that mutated Reed Richards, Sue Storm and Johnny Storm into superhuman beings had also mutated Ben Grimm, transforming him into a grotesque, rock-hided strongman dubbed the Thing.
When Janet Van Dyne's father died, she convinced her father's associate Hank Pym to give her a supply of "Pym particles"; Pym also subjected her to a procedure which granted her the ability to, upon shrinking, grow wings and fire blasts of energy, which she called her "wasp's stings."
After brilliant scientist Henry Pym discovered a process in which he could manipulate a newly discovered group of subatomic particles through magnetic fields, he tested the serums on himself and accidentally shrunk himself to the size of an ant.
