Added DiffLines:

* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: A literal case happens during Ben and Alicia's honeymoon when Ben has to fight a mind-controlled Hulk. His best Sunday punch knocks the Hulk out, but it also breaks his arm -- he sports a vibranium cast for the next several issues.


Added DiffLines:

* ExactWords: In issue #2, the Griever defeats Reed, Sue, and the Future Foundation and gloats that she thought it would be harder. Reed responds by saying that if the Fantastic Four were fully assembled they would have beaten her. Being a good sport, she agrees to let Reed summon the rest of the team for a rematch. Instead of just beaming in Johnny and Ben, however, Reed brings ''every past member of the Fantastic Four'', including people who were only on the team for a handful of issues like Luke Cage and Ghost Rider. The resulting team contains most of Marvel's heavy hitters (Hulk, She-Hulk, Black Panther, Wolverine, Storm, Spider-Man, etc).


Added DiffLines:

* NoodleIncident: It's idly revealed that Iceman became a member of the Fantastic Four. Though the editor's note says that it's a story for another time, all that's known about it is that it was a spur of the moment thing and that Johnny considers it "non-canon".


Added DiffLines:

* ReplacementScrappy: Invoked during the Dan Slott era. The FF want to resume their original mission of space exploration, the one in the rocket that crashed and gave them their powers. In a new and improved version of that old and vintage rocket, even. The Thing refused to take part in that nonsense, and was very adamant in his refusal. But he's not a complete jerk, so he will salute the team before they leave... and they are all happy, with an H.E.R.B.I.E. robot at his chair! Ben immediately changes his mind, suits up and joins the gang. [[spoiler:And then he discovers that it was just a prototype H.E.R.B.I.E. that does not work, and that the pilot seat in the new rocket is bigger, sturdier and designed for someone with big hands.]]

* MeaningfulName: Reed's experimental rocket is named here as ''Marvel-1'', an acknowledgment of the Fantastic Four launching the Marvel Universe with their 1st issue.

** Sue is angry to learn that Reed has a dangerous device hidden at the Baxter building, that he never told her about. But, although Dr. Doom is above petty marital disputes, he pointed that Sue wouldn't be at the Latverian embassy if she did not take missions from Nick Fury... missions that Reed knows nothing about. [[Touche Sue's forced to concede Reed's got her there]].

* BerserkButton: ComicBook/{{Iceman}} became a member of the FF at some point. Somehow. But don't tell that to Johnny: he will insist that it never happened! [[spoiler:Issue #24 reveals that Iceman joined the team during a time Johnny bolted in a case of inflated ego and Iceman felt humiliated during the early days of the X-Men. Turns out Johnny was afraid of being replaced.]]

** ''ComicBook/JudgmentDayMarvelComics'': Zigzagged. Slott's run technically concludes with issue #46 and thus he doesn't tie into the event. However, the 2018 Volume ran two additional issues and they show events on the Four's end (while still acknowledging Slott's status quo).
