PLOT:
When Reed Richards, sue and Johnny Storm and pilot Ben Grimm take a premature space flight on a new shuttle, they find themselves massively bombarded with cosmic radiation. Barely managing to re-enter and land safely, the quartet find themselves forever transformed with superpowers. Deciding to use these new powers to help people, they form The Fantastic Four, a superhero team dedicated to the protection of Earth from menaces like the Latverian king Dr. Doom and Galactus, the planet consumer.

season 1 - 
The Fantastic Four agree to be special guests during a live televised charity event. They explain their origins to the audience, as well as how they took down The Puppet Master, a villain who can control people's minds. Namor, the Prince of Atlantis falls for Sue Storm, kidnaps her and takes her to Atlantis to marry her. The Skrulls are an alien race that plans to invade Earth and the first step in their plan is to discredit the Fantastic Four as the good guys. An alien who calls himself The Watcher contacts the Fantastic Four to warn them of an incoming doom. Galactus, a unique terrifying gigantic, nearly indestructible humanoid who devours whole planets, is coming to feed on Earth. The Fantastic Four can't defeat Galactus, so they try to convince his slave and herald, The Silver Surfer, to help them somehow. The Skrulls may have been defeated, but they want revenge, so they send a superior genetically modified Skrull, The Super-Skrull, to take down the Fantastic Four. Dr. Doom imprisons the Fantastic Four in his castle. Sue manages to convince Doom to tell her about his origin, in order to buy time for the other three to find a way out. Doom continues to indulge Sue by telling her about his past. He is Victor von Doom, the son of a helpful local who was wronged by the superstitious villagers. Meanwhile, the other three must face Doom's traps on their way out. As the dawn breaks, Doom wraps up his story. His interest in robotics led him to Reed Richards whom he grew to hate for his intellect and goodness. Doom and his robots took over his country of Latveria and now has the Fantastic Four. Or does he? A villain called the Mole Man, who lives underground, is readying himself to take over the world from below, but he must first deal with the Fantastic Four. During an experiment, Reed accidentally creates a portal to the Negative Zone and Earth becomes a target of warlords. Victor von Doom manages to steal Silver Surfer's unimaginable powers, given to him by Galactus, and becomes almost unstoppable.

season 2 -
The Fantastic Four lose their powers, inspiring Dr. Doom to conquer their headquarters. Daredevil comes to the team's aid. The Frightful Four joins forces to defeat the Fantastic Four, using the Wizard's machines to brainwash the Thing into switching sides. The Human Torch pursues Medusa, only to stumble into her relatives, the Royal Family of the Inhumans. The Inhumans mistake the Fantastic Four for enemies. The Fantastic Four journey to Attilan and assist the Royal Family in restoring Black Bolt to the throne, but must contend with Black Bolt's treacherous brother Maximus and the swarms of Inhumans loyal to him. The Invisible Woman falls under the sway of the Psycho-Man, who alters her personality into the malevolent Malice, pitting her against her own family. Ego, the Living Planet, a unique monster planet that devours planets just like Galactus, enters the solar system to eat Earth. Black Panther, the king of a secretive high-tech African civilization, challenges the Fantastic Four. Once defeated, he asks for their help to stop Ulysses Klaw, a mad scientist who killed his father and wants his tribe's powerful alien ore. Galactus' new slave and herald, double-crossing Terrax, asks the Fantastic Four for help. However, Johnny's girlfriend Frankie Raye supports Galactus. Thor arrives to help the Fantastic Four and even mythical Ghost Rider intervenes. Dr. Doom manipulates the unstoppable Hulk into fighting the Fantastic Four. Only the Thing's girlfriend Alicia Masters can help. The Fantastic Four stops the Skrulls once again, but Sue ends up in a coma and her dad is framed. The Skrulls also send Super-Skrull again, this time masked as Sue. Meanwhile, Skrull warlord Morrat tries to take over the Skrull empire. Impish alien trickster the Impossible Man and Inhuman Lockjaw help the Fantastic Four fight the Super-Skrull. The Fantastic Four help Black Bolt save his people, the Inhumans, who live imprisoned under an unbreakable dome guarded by a simple, but relentless robotic sentry, who misunderstood his orders to protect the Inhumans forever. Wishing to take over the world, Dr. Doom steals Silver Surfer's power cosmic again and becomes literally unbeatable. The Fantastic Four figure that the only thing that can stop him now is Galactus' power.
