** Although Johnny's comments at the episode's conclusion also point to a bit of MoreThanMindControl.

* LawyerFriendlyCameo: Johnny hires a freelance photographer and cuts him off before he can introduce himself. [[SpiderMan he bares a certain resemblence to a certain freelance photographer of superheroes Marvel was not allowed to use because of a contract with]] {{Sony}} [[SpiderMan at the time]].

* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Johnny
** And HERBIE.

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Granted, Reed and Susan aren't officially a couple on this show. However, when Dr. Doom wipes Reed out of existence in "Out of Time", the enraged and devastated Susan goes berserk on him, forcing Ben to ''literally'' have to pick her up and carry her away.

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: "Bruiser" from "Doom's Word is Law."
** Also the Baxter Building's computer, HERBIE, from the same episode.

** Although you could argue that Johnny recognized him, but was simply having too much fun to stop the game.

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: "Bruiser"

* ButForMeItWasTuesday: The Kree Accuser is disgraced and exiled thanks to Johnny in the first episode, 14 later when the Super Skull appears it turns out he allied with this Kree to become a Super Skull, Johnny's reaction even while he and the Kree fight, "You'd be surprised how many blue guys we fight." He NEVER recognizes him.

* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: In "Trial By Fire" Johnny gets captured by the Kree and a very angry Susan demands that Reed find him. She refuses to listen to his reason and TechnoBabble. She just wants to find her brother and who's ass to kick.

-->'''Ben'''': Hey! Only we get to say stuff like that.

* IdiosyncraticWipes: Variations of the "4" logo

* IAmAMonster: Thing as usual considers himself this. In "Hard Knocks," [[IncredibleHulk Bruce Banner]] says otherwise - calling the Hulk "a force of nature," but the Thing a hero to be looked up to.

[[caption-width:459: The FantasticFour won't rest until they find whoever tagged The Thing (Pssst: It was Johnny!)]]

The series as a whole was LighterAndSofter, focusing much more on the FantasticFour as a sitcom family who happened to go on adventures rather than a team of superheroes who were also a family.

** Reed - StoneWall
** Susan - GlassCannon
** Johnny - FragileSpeedster
** Ben - MightyGlacier

* HairOfGold: Interesting example as the French animators had designed Sue with pink hair in an attempt to be "current". The higher ups vetoed it.

** Memorably subverted in one episode. Doom tells them not to obey any orders given to them by anyone, not even him. When Reed is {{Freaky Friday Flip}}ped into Doom's body, he tells them to self-terminate. They immediately comply because "Doom's word is law".

* EyesOfGold: Reed, Alicia

* HairOfGold: Interesting example as the French animators had designed Sue with pink hair in an attempt to be "current". The higher ups vetoed it, and are quoted as saying "Sue Storm is an American woman, and [[ForeignFanservice American women have blond hair.]]"
* HarmlessVillain: Mole Man, to the point of being the ButtMonkey.
* HeyItsThatVoice: DavidKaye as Tony Stark[=/=]IronMan.
** All three of the Dobson brothers do voices on the show. [[BrianDobson Brian]]'s the Thing, [[PaulDobson Paul]]'s Doctor Doom and Mole Man, and [[MichaelDobson Michael]]'s Ronan the Accuser.
** HERBIE shares a [[SamuelVincent voice actor]] with [[Manga/DeathNote Sidoh]].
* HulkSpeak Theres the obvious gamma giant himself but also the Torch, and Thing. Reed also gets one when trying to simplify his TechTalk to the others.
--> Human Torch Hungry!
--> Thing Smash!

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Johnny to Ben, sure he punks him daily but if anyone dares question Ben isn't a hero The Torch will set you straight...with fireballs.
* LargeHam: [[SarcasmMode In a truly stunning departure from traditional portrayals of the character, Dr. Doom is played like this. Who'da thunk it?]]
** Johnny believes in going big or going home, from his dialogue to his sports cars.

* When Johnny is brought to trial before the blue-skinned Kree:

* EyesOfGold: Alicia

* MammaBear: Susan takes attacks against the Four, especially Johnny, ''very'' personally.

* ParentalSubstitute: Susan seems more like this to Johnny than a CoolBigSis in addition to being the TeamMom to the Four.

* PreciousPuppies

* FridgeLogic/Expy: Captain Ultra has flight, super strength, and eye beams. He seems like a good replacement for Ben now that he is cured except he has a crippling fear of fire, so much so a single lit thumbs up for Johnny gives him a panic attack. The Expy should be obvious, the Fridge...the Human Torch is the one who set up the auditions. Somehow I doubt that Ultra put his fear of fire on his resume. As for why he auditioned for a team with a guy that sets himself on fire, thats another problem entirerly...
** Captain Ultra is a real original Marvel character, who originally tried to get a job with the evil FF, the Fearful Four, [[OlderThanTheyThink back in the late 60's]]. And yes, he would faint at the [[WeaksauceWeakness sight of fire]] then too.

* ShipTease: One of the few FF adaptations where Reed and Sue aren't a couple... quite yet.

* FragileSpeedster: Johnny.

* LawyerFriendlyCameo: Johnny hires a freelance photographer and cuts him off before he can introduce himself. [[SpiderMan he bares a certain resemblence to a certain freelance photographer of superheroes Marvel was not allowed to use because of a contract with]] {{Sony}} [[at the time]].

A 2006 animated adaptation of Marvel's First Family: The Comicbook/FantasticFour, meant to market the team to a new audience who were coming off the 2005 movie and heading into its 2007 sequel (which probably ended up working against the show during its initial broadcast). Produced by French Animation Company "Moonscoop". The name "World's Greatest Heroes" refers to the comics' original tagline, "Worlds Greatest Comic Magazine".
