Beyond that frontier are uncharted areas of science and space, unsolved problems of peace and war, unconquered problems of ignorance and prejudice, unanswered questions of poverty and surplus.”[/i] -- John F. Kennedy [b][u]Character You're Applying For:[/u][/b] [b]The Fantastic Four Reed Richards – Mr Fantastic Sue Storm – The Invisible Woman Johnny Storm – The Human Torch Ben Grimm – The Thing[/b][/center] [b][u]Powers And Abilities:[/u][/b] The Fantastic Four’s powers and abilities are pretty much as traditionally depicted. They’re one of the few groups who tend to not be too radically altered across “Ultimate” games because their powers are so iconic. Reed is still super smart and stretchy, Sue is still able to go invisible and create invisible constructs, Johnny can still wield flames and fly, and Ben Grimm is still the ever-lovin’ blue-eyed Thing. Not an awful lot has changed on that front. [u][b]Origin And Backstory (In A Maximum Of Four Paragraphs):[/b][/u] Reed Richards was a child genius. The child genius. He cracked teleportation before he'd graduated from high school. That's not to say that high school was any easier for Reed than anybody else. Without the protection of Benjamin Grimm he would never have made it through. Ben Grimm was from the wrong side of the tracks, growing up on Yancy Street in New York, and rarely attended his classes through high school because he had a college budding football career waiting for him. When an injury cut that short he opted for the United States Air Force instead. The Air Forced turned Grimm from a boy into a man and taught him discipline. For Sue Storm discipline had never been the problem - she had practically raised her brother Johnny after their parents passed away in a car accident. She too was an excellent student in her own right. Yet she spent most of her time trying to repair the damage her younger brother caused. Broken hearts, broken windows, and broken down cars were never far behind Johnny Storm. He seemed to have a knack for finding himself in bad situations. And some might say that Reed's space expedition was one. Fortune would bring Reed, Ben, Johnny, and Sue on an explorative mission into space in search of the origin of a green meteor rock that SHIELD had uncovered. External pressure placed on Reed by Fury and SHIELD would lead to a miscalculation in the ship's outer coating and the four of them would be bombarded with cosmic rays that ought to have killed them. Instead the four of them developed incredible powers - Reed the ability to contort his body into any shape imaginable, Johnny literally became a Human Torch, Sue could turn invisible and project hard light construct, and Ben was gifted with incredible strength, though it came at great consequence. Though their ship was stranded in Space for what seemed like a few days, eighteen months passed on Earth and Fury was forced to resign for his part in the expedition. Upon their return the four were kept under wraps by SHIELD for a time whilst their powers were tested and their radiation levels normalised. An attack on then President-elect would force SHIELD's hand into sending the four of them into the field. They would aid Superman and the others in the battle against Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants and in doing so find instant fame. "The Fantastic Four," they would be dubbed by the media, and from there on out the four of them would set about using their powers for good. When Galactus came to devour Earth, it was the Fantastic Four that stood in his way when no one else could. Time and time again, Reed Richards and the gang saved their world. But when Darkseid and the forces of Apokolips came they were powerless to stop him. The Justice League and Avengers fell within days. Reed was forced into an unlikely alliance with his nemesis Victor Von Doom and the two designed a craft that would send them back in time to stop Darkseid and save their Earth. Doom sacrifices himself to buy the Four time to escape – but when they awaken on the other side of their journey they find that they have travelled not through time, but across dimensions. The New Frontier universe they called home has gone. The Ultimate One Universe is now their home. [b][u]What Makes This Character 'Ultimate'?:[/u][/b] Where to start? Well, this version of the Fantastic Four are actually from the [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/91991-the-new-frontier-a-marvel-dc-one-universe-rp/ooc]New Frontier[/url] universe. When Darkseid conquers their riven Earth, they board a craft designed to traverse through time and avert the set of circumstances that leads to the destruction of their world’s greatest heroes. Instead they are torn across dimensions to the Ultimate One Universe. As you can imagine, seeing their friends murdered by Darkseid or enslaved by the anti-life equation has had something on an effect on them – with each member struggling to come to terms with the fact they can likely never return home.
