Alex Valentino is longtime fan of comics, movies, cartoons and more who uses his production and writing background to inform the internet.
The upcoming The Fantastic Four: First Steps is set to present the latest incarnation of The Fantastic Four's live-action costumes, going up against some tough competition. As Marvel's leading superhero family, The Fantastic Four have been presented with a high degree of variation in their movie outfits over the years.
Beyond his lack of any clothes at all, what sends Jamie Bell's The Thing to the bottom of The Fantastic Four's barrel is his awkward design compared to the comic-accurate 2005 version. His tough protrusions are awkward and asymmetrical, giving him a wobbly quality that seems as if it'll all come collapsing down at any second.
7 Miles Teller's Mr. Fantastic Fantastic Four Finally, 2015's Fantastic Four arrives at a character that its odd, individualistic approach to dressing the titular team's members somewhat works for. Miles Teller's suit as Mr. Fantastic is made up of bundles of elastic cables, telescoping joints, and expansive sheets of fabric that conceivably could allow him to stretch his limbs without losing any coverage. This solution makes for a realistic way that Mr.
Even if it is technically practical, Michael B. Jordan's Human Torch suit in Fantastic Four is the only one that actually looks like something out of a comic book. The four small radiator pipes that align on his chest to cheekily form a nod to the classic"4" insignia that's usually on the group's suits is a nice touch as well. Still, compared to other cinematic variations, The Human Torch's suit only scratches the surface of the fashionable comic book look.
4 The Standard 2005 Suits Fantastic Four Going into more iconic territory, the simple, clean suits of the original 2005 Fantastic Four are hard to top. Owing to the team's sense of a cohesive identity as a singular unit, these interchangable costumes are hard to complain about. A version of this same exact suit is worn by Chris Evans' Johnny Storm, Jessica Alba's The Invisible Woman, and Ioan Gruffudd's Reed Richards.
This version of the Human Torch's outfit works well for what it is. A loosely-draped shawl on top of the basic blue uniform helps disguise Chris Evans enough for the fake-out gag to land, and the bundles of pouches, practical boots, and other utilitarian accouterments make sense for the post-apocalyptic world of The Void. While it may be far from a traditional look for The Fantastic Four's resident hothead, it serves the purpose it was meant for excellently.
