What is one interesting fact about Marvel Comics?

One interesting fact about Marvel Comics is that the original Fantastic Four was almost a completely different team! Stan Lee initially envisioned the team as a group of scientists called the "Fantastic Four Plus One" consisting of:

* Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards): The team leader, who is exactly as he is in the comics.

* The Thing (Ben Grimm): Originally a scientist who turns into a "rock creature" after a radiation accident.

* The Mole Man: Yes, that villain! He was originally intended to be a member of the team, using his powers to create a "secret city" under the Earth's surface.

* The Skrulls: This alien race was supposed to be the "Plus One" member of the team, with one of them joining the team.

Ultimately, the idea was scrapped in favor of the iconic team we know today, but it's fascinating to think about what might have been!
