Summary Marvel Studios has finally revealed the new costumes for the titular team of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and this has only made me more excited for the upcoming MCU reboot. Recent updates concerning the introduction of the Fantastic Four into the MCU have raised anticipation for their upcoming Phase 6 debut massively, especially after that long period of silence following Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox.
The costumes seen in the MCU do have clear differences from their Marvel Comics counterparts. There is a more prominent use of white across the chest and sleeves and the logos are noticeably different. However, there is a clear resemblance to John Byrne's Fantastic Four costumes in the '80s, which fills me with hope that some of Byrne's other themes could be included in The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
This was a huge move for gender equality in the male-leaning Marvel Universe, and Byrne didn't stop there. After the Thing left the team following 1984's Secret Wars event, Byrne introduced She-Hulk as his replacement in the Fantastic Four, completely evening out the gender roles of the team.
John Byrne introduced struggles in Reed Richards and Sue Storm's marriage, created conflict between Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm, and saw Grimm abandon his childhood friend, Richards, after Secret Wars, to name a few examples. I've already seen this family dynamic, and the tribulations that come with that, being utilized in the first footage from The Fantastic Four: First Steps, which makes me very happy.
