Susan, Reed, Johnny, and Ben. Marvel's Fantastic Four, in redesigned costumes.

DESIGN NOTES:
I had a few things in mind when drawing these--
1. The designs should be recognizably tied together thematically. The Fantastic Four is a team in a different way from the X-men or the Avengers. They're a family, and the design should communicate that relationship.
2. I wanted a real departure from the old costumes, which are mostly spandex-based. I've always preferred costuming that seems to be made up of real clothing- it emphasizes the humanness of the characters and makes them easier to relate to. Unfortunately, of all comics characters, the Fanatastic Four are notable for their very PHYSICAL powers. Each of them would need very specific materials for their costumes for stretchiness, invisibility, flame-resistance, and enormous rockiness. This lends itself to the spandex "look", but I still went ahead and tried to design in those considerations.
3.I wanted a clean futuristic look but from a retro perspective, assuming that Reed designed the costumes with some input and modification from the team.
