Childhood friends Reed
Richards and Ben Grimm have worked together on a prototype teleporter since
youth, eventually attracting the attention of Professor Franklin Storm,
director of the Baxter Foundation, a government-sponsored research
institute for young prodigies. Reed is recruited to join them and aid
Storm's children, scientist Sue Storm and engineer Johnny Storm,
into completing a "Quantum Gate" designed by Storm's protégé Victor
Von Doom.
The experiment is successful, and
the facility's supervisor, Dr. Allen, plans to send a group from NASA to
venture into a parallel dimension known as "Planet Zero".
Disappointed at being denied the chance to join the expedition, Reed, Johnny
and Victor along with Ben use the Quantum Gate to embark on an unsanctioned
voyage to Planet Zero, which they learn is a world filled with otherworldly
substances. Victor attempts to touch the green lava-like substance, causing the
ground they are standing on to erupt. Reed, Johnny and Ben return to their
shuttle just as Sue brings them back to Earth and Victor is seemingly
killed after he falls into the collapsing landscape. The Quantum Gate explodes,
altering Reed, Sue, Johnny and Ben on a genetic level and granting them
superhuman abilities beyond their control: Reed can stretch like rubber,
Sue can become invisible and generate force fields, Johnny can engulf his
entire body in fire and fly, and Ben develops a rock-like hide which gives
him superhuman strength and durability. They are then placed in
government custody to be studied and have their abilities tested. Blaming
himself for the accident, Reed escapes from the facility and tries to find a
cure for their changes.
One year later in 2015, Reed is
now a fugitive and has built a suit that helps him control his ability. Hiding
in Central America, he is eventually found by the United States military
with Sue's help and captured by Ben, who has become a military asset along with
Johnny and Sue. Johnny and Sue have been outfitted with specialized suits
designed to help them control their abilities. Reed is brought to Area 57,
where Dr. Allen conscripts him into rebuilding the Quantum Gate in exchange for
giving Reed the resources to find a cure. Arriving in Planet Zero, Dr. Allen's
explorers find Victor, who has been fused to his spacesuit and now
possesses telekinetic abilities, and bring him back to Earth.
Believing that humans need to be destroyed so he can rebuild Earth in his
image, Victor kills the scientists and soldiers in the base, including Dr.
Allen and Professor Storm, and returns to Planet Zero using the Quantum Gate,
with Ben, Johnny, Reed and Sue in pursuit.
Now dubbing himself
"Doom", Victor activates a portal on Planet Zero using the Quantum
Gate and begins consuming the landscape of the Earth using a structure he
created from the rock formations in Planet Zero. He is confronted by the four
and, after a short battle, Ben punches Doom into the portal's energy beam,
disintegrating him while Johnny closes the portal. Returning to Earth, the
group is rewarded by the US military for their heroics by being given a new
base of operations known as "Central City" to study their abilities
without government interference. They decide to use their powers to help people
and adopt the mantle of the "Fantastic Four".
