Fictional history
After becoming discouraged by how Earth's scientists view science and its applications, Mister Fantastic forms a new group dedicated to create a better future for all of humanity. Following the death of the Human Torch, Mister Fantastic plans to mold the young and great minds he has gathered into a team that will form solutions to the world's problems.[2]
Zero-G (Alex Power); Dragon Man; evolved Moloids Tong, Turg, Mik, and Korr; and Bentley 23 (a clone of the Wizard) are the first recruits to the organization.[3] Artie Maddicks then joins the Future Foundation,[4] as does Leech.[5]
The organization next gains Mister Fantastic's father Nathaniel Richards[6] followed by Uhari co-heirs Vii and Wuu. Spider-Man joins the team as well at a final request from Human Torch.
