Marvel Renames the Fantastic Four as 'The Four' in Midnight Line
'Midnight: Fantastic Four' issues #3 and #4, due December 16 and January 20, 2027, use 'The Four' in their summaries.
Marvel has rebranded its first family as 'The Four' in the 'Midnight' horror-imprint continuity, according to Screen Rant. The team name appears in the publisher's summaries for upcoming issues of the series.
'Midnight: Fantastic Four' #1 was written by Benjamin Percy, with art by Kev Walker, Frank D'Armata and Joe Sabino. The series recasts the team in a darker setting: Reed Richards is portrayed as an obsessive genius hooked on pills, Susan Storm as a ruthless businesswoman running a failing corporation, and Johnny Storm as a former pilot who lost his legs.
The name 'The Four' is used in the solicitation summaries for issue #3 and issue #4, indicating it is intended as a permanent title rather than a one-off label. 'Midnight: Fantastic Four' #3 is scheduled for release on December 16, and #4 for January 20, 2027.
The Fantastic Four were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1961, a debut that launched the modern Marvel Universe.
