190. Mr. Fantastic

It’s weird. You’d think the formula for a decent Fantastic Four movie would be simple to translate, but it’s like Marvel doesn’t have any interest in trying.

189. Invisible Woman

Seriously, I guess I don’t quite get why an FF film has never been made or attempted.

188. The Thing

It’d be nice if there were ever a Fantastic Four movie.

105. Darkhawk

Don’t ask why.
