The Fantastic Four Have a New Leader in Both Comics & MCU

by

In a recent development, it has been confirmed that Sue Storm has assumed the role of leader within the Fantastic Four, both in the comics and Marvel Cinematic Universe. This promotion correlates with forthcoming narratives in The Fantastic Four: First Steps as well as the current comic reboot, suggesting a harmonious transition across various platforms.

Sue Storm leads Fantastic Four in Marvel comics and First Steps

In issue number one of Fantastic Four, published in 2025, Marvel Comics establishes Sue Storm, commonly referred to as the Invisible Woman, as the head of the group, taking on the leadership role for the team.

This change coincides with recent advancements in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as seen in the movie “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”, where Sue takes on the leadership role for the team. In a sneak peek released by ComicBook.com, Sue provides narration at the start and introduces each team member – Ben Grimm, Reed Richards, and Johnny Storm – before making it clear that she is their leader.

Sue’s leadership is highlighted throughout the narrative where she takes a pivotal position as the Fantastic Four face Emperor Doom during the One World Under Doom event. In this confrontation against Doom’s robot army of Doombots, Sue spearheads the attack and unleashes a potent invisible blow that propels Doom into a building. The fight intensifies when Doom counters with green energy, scattering the team across various historical epochs.

In Fantastic Four #1, the narrative revolves around the mission of the team to bring each other back together and recover the Forever Stone – a unique geological artifact that spans various time eras. According to writer Ryan North, while this tale incorporates science fiction elements such as dinosaurs and time travel, it primarily emphasizes the emotional bonds and complexity within the team.

As a passionate fan, I can’t help but feel the immense responsibility that comes with working on such iconic characters. Just like Humberto Ramos, I understand the historical significance and enduring legacy these heroes carry. Our creative team is dedicated to crafting an exciting new chapter in Marvel’s First Family saga, focusing not only on familial ties but also strengthening friendships – a journey we can’t wait to share with fellow fans.

In the storyline of this comic, the roles and plot progression are similar to that seen in Marvel Cinematic Universe films, where Vanessa Kirby’s character, the Invisible Woman, assumes a leadership role.

Fantastic Four #1 releases on July 9, 2025.
