Fantastic Four’s Franklin Storm, Explained

The Fantastic Four may be Marvel’s First Family, but their family extends far beyond just themselves. Reed and Sue have their children, Franklin and Valeria; Ben is with Alicia Masters and Johnny…well, Johnny dates a lot. Of all the members of the Fantastic Four’s extended family, Reed’s father, Nathaniel Richards, usually gets the most attention. As a time-traveling scientist, why Nathaniel would get his fair share of time in the limelight makes sense.But Nathaniel isn’t the only grandfather that Franklin and Valeria have. Sue and Johnny’s father, Franklin Storm, was a troubled man with a difficult life that had several negative impacts on his children. His adventures in the Marvel Universe are somewhat limited, his alternate Ultimate Universe version notwithstanding. Still, it makes him no less an important and integral part of Sue and Johnny’s lives. The recent debut of John Malkovich’s mystery role in Fantastic Four: First Steps led to some speculation that he might be playing Franklin Storm, so it’s a great time to dive into the character. He might not have superpowers or be a supervillain, and he certainly had a very hard time when he was alive, but Franklin Storm truly loved his children.Franklin and Mary’s relationship was far from perfect, and the two often argued and shouted at each other when Susan and Johnny were young. Their incessant fighting took a toll on Susan, who felt invisible as a young girl. Tragedy struck the Storm family when, as Franklin and Mary were out driving, one of their car tires blew out. Their car crashed, and despite Franklin’s best efforts to save her, Mary died as a result of the accident.
