Fantastic4 minus Torch + Spiderman = Future Foundation?

[Rakido]

I'm puzzled, when did Torch die?

When Marvel Comics Executive Editor Tom Brevoort told CNN in December that "something new" would come out of the recent death of the Fantastic Four's Human Torch, he wasn't kidding.

For starters, they won't even be using the name Fantastic Four. On Wednesday, Marvel announced that the team is now going to be called the Future Foundation, debuting in "FF" No. 1 in March.

Gone are the traditional blue costumes. The team will now be wearing white-and-black costumes (with three hexagons replacing the trademark number "4," as well).

And then there's the cherry on top: Reed "Mr. Fantastic" Richards, Sue "Invisible Woman" Richards and Ben "The Thing" Grimm will now be joined by the superstar of the Marvel Universe, none other than Spider-Man (also wearing a new white-and-black costume).

Comic companies kill off characters all the time. Sometimes they kill of that character multiple times. And on different timelines. And in alternate universes.

They killed off Ben Grimm, The Rhing for a while too, as soon as the sales go down they'll run back to "as it used to be" or if they get a new writer that "don't like how where the story is heading" etc etc

Example of that is what Grant Morrison did to DC, all the god damn awfull dreck he liked when he was a kid he's written back in to the dc universe...
