The core rulebook is already available for pre-order, and will be on sale on August 2nd. It has been revamped based on the playtest feedback from the playtest rulebook released ast year. "After receiving thousands of fan responses, the core rulebook now features the new and revamped rules that make for a fun, fast, and dynamic game — including quick character creation, bombastic combat, and hundreds of amazing powers — plus full profiles of dozens of Marvel’s greatest heroes and villains. All that's needed is the book, three standard six-sided dice, and friends!"

This will be followed by Cataclysm of Kang, a collection of six adventures coming later this year. "This book includes new character profiles and features a series of six interlocked adventures. Fans can play through with a new team or character each time, or form a campaign that takes players from street-level heroes to cosmic champions! Both the core rulebook and adventure book are written by award-winning and New York Times best-selling author Matt Forbeck."


Finally, X-Men Expansion will launch in 2024, and will feature the X-Men, their allies and foes, and details of X-Men locations. "This is the first full-sized sourcebook for the Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game, and features the most uncanny Super Heroes of all: the X-Men and all their various spin-off teams, greatest allies and most fearsome foes. The X-Men Expansion is jammed full of vital information about Marvel’s most popular mutants, including dozens of new profiles for characters from X-Force, the New Mutants and Marauders. It also includes full-color maps of famous X-Men locations, including the Xavier Institute, Krakoa and Arakko, plus plenty of thrilling twists and turns for an entire campaign. Answer the call and join the X-Men! The creative team for this book will be announced soon."

I like basic premise of the Fantastic 4 - Science Adventurers! do weird stuff. But the actual comic has never been to my taste. I do have a soft spot for Ben Grimm and Sue Storm. I feel that Sue has very poorly written over the majority of her existence.
The FF was my first superhero comic, and the team is still my favorite. Doctor Doom in particular is practically the epitome of a supervillain.

Doom Vs. Reed is always a strong square-off (the two smartest guys in the room) and Ben Grimm is an amazing, complex character whereever you see him. He is the ur-example of the "strong, but not Superman" hero archetype.
Ben's also a great early archetype of the Marvel idea that, for many of their superheroes, being a superhero is a bad deal. (Compare to DC superheroes, where being a superhero is almost always an unalloyed good.) In nearly every way, Ben's life would have been a lot better if he hadn't gone up in that rocket with Reed and the Storms.

He's also the most prominent Jewish superhero and the only major one whose religion is consistently remembered.

And in part, because of that, he's easily the most New York of Marvel's NYC superheroes.

Such a great character all around.

He's Kirby's stand in.
