Even before they stood between Earth and Galactus in Marvel Studios’ The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the Fantastic Four introduced in the blockbuster film were already legendary super heroes, idolized by the inhabitants of their world! This last year, Marvel Comics proudly presented some of their thrilling early adventures in special Fantastic Four: First Foes one-shots. Now, the series reaches its epic finale this December in Fantastic Four: First Foes – The Wizard #1 by writer Fabian Nicieza and returning artist Mark Buckingham.

Set within the world of the blockbuster film, Fantastic Four: First Foes has expanded on the history of Marvel Studios’ First Family by revealing their earliest clashes with some of their most notorious adversaries. The last of the one-shots promises to be its most revelatory to date with the introduction of one of the team’s oldest foes, The Wizard, along with his team of sinister Fantastic Four counterparts known as the Frightful Four.

Bentley Wittman is too great a genius to be ignored! He deserves all the accolades given to the Fantastic Four, and he will prove his intellectual superiority by embarrassing them and stealing the globally renowned monument to science — the Baxter Building! And to accomplish that amazing feat, the Wingless Wizard will create…the Frightful Four!
