The Fantastic Four ushered in modern Marvel Comics through the collaboration of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, forming one of the industry’s greatest creative teams. However, in keeping with the time-honored tradition of comics borrowing from their competition, DC Comics has created its own analog for Marvel’s First Family, The Terrifics. Both teams bring many of the same ideas to the table and their similarities are obvious.While DC Comics led the way in superhero team comics by introducing the Justice Society and Justice League, Marvel redefined the idea with The Fantastic Four. This title began Marvel’s dominance in superhero comics, and while they were partners, Lee and Kirby continued to show everyone else the best way to write a team book. As the years continued, the comic remained one of the best books on the market and often overshadowed even flagship team titles like Avengers and Justice League of America. However, after their Rebirth era, DC decided to create their very own team of heroes that mirrored The Fantastic Four in almost every way. During the company’s New Age of Heroes imprint, they created The Terrifics. Despite existing in different worlds, they have a lot in common but their differences are equally important.The Fantastic Four were created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1963 to be Marvel’s premier superhero team. As much as people came to think of the X-Men and Avengers as the most important Marvel teams, The Fantastic Four actually had a much better track record in this department. It was through this series that readers got better acquainted with characters like Namor the Submariner, Silver Surfer, Black Panther, and Doctor Doom. It took some time for the Avengers and X-Men to become the best-selling team books they are in modern Marvel, and The Fantastic Four was more representative of the talent of the Kirby/Lee team. Their villains were more epic, their adventures had higher stakes and the team dynamic felt much more natural.RELATED: Inspiration Vs. Template: Should New DCU and MCU Adaptations Match The Comics?
