Marvel Unveils New Fantastic Four Rivals

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

The problem you get when you decide to take a brief hiatus (ok, it was three years) away from your normal place of residence, the next thing you know people are taking over your place. That is the situation The Fantastic Four are finding themselves in after making their return to the Marvel Universe. While the Baxter Building is still home, they may find their old stomping grounds a little more crowded than they remember.

Today, Marvel revealed the Fantastix, a new group of heroic rivals to Marvel’s First Family. Like the Fantastic Four, the Fantastix have set up their headquarters inside the Baxter Building.

“As we get back to things down on Earth, we introduce a new team of Super Heroes who are operating out of the Baxter Building who are surprised when the Fantastic Four show up on the doorstep, thinking that they still have the rent on the place,” executive editor Tom Brevoort said on the This Week in Marvel podcast.

When you think about it … Reed, Sue and company shouldn’t be too surprised. They only have to look at JRR Tolkien’s the Hobbit. Bilbo Baggins left his comfortable Hobbit hole for just a bit of adventuring  and when he returned, the Sacksville Bagginses were measuring his windows for new curtains. What does that have to do with our first family of conics? Nothing really I just like bringing up Tolkien.
