Fantastic
Reed Richards (who is only 21 in this universe) is a scientist working for the army trying to recreate the super soldier serum that created Captain Nazi (see Infinite Origins: Captain America). He gets his best friends Johnny Storm (only 18) and Banjamin Grimm (only 19) and his fiancee Susan Storm (only 18) to voltunteerto try it if Reed can make it. All of his atempts are a failure and end up killing his test hamsters. He realizes that he needs a blood sample from the original Captain Nazi to complete the serum. He gets a reluctant Sue to come with him to break into a HYDRA base and steal Captain Nazi's shield for a blood sample. They barely make it out alive, but are able to get back to Reed's lab in the Baxter Building so he can take blood samples from it. Sue says that she doesn't want to be married to a criminal or risk her life, so she gives Reed her ring back and leaves. Reed moves the shield on the ground to put his head on the desk and cry.

The following day, Reed is working on the serum thanks to the blood stains on the shield. Creating the serum was easy, but it would disolve too quickly. Reed begins working to find a restorative enzyme that can keep the serum together. After much searching, Reed realizes that cosmic radiation can hold the serum together. Reed, Johnny, and Ben are able to use a NASA ship to go into space and get information on cosmic radiation to complete the serum. They launch into space (with proper shielding, unlike their 616 counterparts) and study the cosmic radiation. Reed is able to contain a small ammount of it to use on the serum. The radiation is able to hold the serum together. Reed tests it on himself, Ben, and Johnny. He had a syringe with the serum for Sue, despite her leaving the project. At first, nothing happens. One week later, Johnny begins to start suddenly having his hand light on fire until going away. While at a restraunt with Ben, he bursts into flames and burns down the building. He flies into the sky and goes missing. Ben begins to get stronger over the next few hours, until waking up with rock-like skin the following morning. Reed's body begins to stretch incredibly far. Reed studies on himself and Ben, and realizes that the cosmic radiation interfered with the serum and gave them each fantastic powers. Reed offers Ben the chance to have it reversed, but Ben decides to stay the way he is. Johnny returns and shows he can now control his powers. Reed decides to keep this a secret from the army, fearing that they will become weapons for them. When a giant creature attacks New York, Reed decides they have to stop it. The "Terrific Trio" (as Johnny recommended) go to fight the creature. They go to fight it, and it proves to be resistant to fire. It also has harder skin than Ben. Sue shows up at the Baxter Building to talk to Reed, but finds that no one is there. She looks over Reed's notes and sees a syringe with her name on it. She uses it on herself, simply to keep the promise she made before. Her powers activate almost instantly, and she realizes she can trun invisible and create force fields. She sees on the news that Reed, Johnny, and Ben are fighting this thing and rushes to help them.

She gets there and uses her force field power to create a bubble inside the monster's head and pop it. The creature is defeated, and they celebrate. Then a man calling himself the Mole Man rises from underground and leads an army of monsters against the city. The four fight all of the Mole Man's forces. After a long, hard fought battle, they go to fight the Mole Man. He has disappeared and set off bombs so they couldn't follow him. The public begins to cheer for them. Johnny suggests that they do this all the time and that they name themselves the "Fantastic Four" Ben jumps at the opprotunity, and Reed goes along with it just to "keep them in line"  Sue needs time to think about it.

They all go to the Baxter Building (which Reed anounces he'll be buying). Sue and Reed sit down to talk. Sue admits that she has feelings for Reed, but does not want to be ina relationship with him right now. Reed respects her wishes and says he can wait. Sue agrres to be part of the team. After this, Johnny comes in with a costume design for them.

Mole Man goes into a cave underground, and talks to a man in the shadows. After Mole Man confesses failure, the man disenegrates him. He sees the potential threat the Fantastic Four could be, and swears he will defeat them.
