Who are the Fantastic Four?

It started when a group of 4 scientists were sent on a mission into space. They were exposed to strange radiation and got super powers. Reed Richards could stretch his limbs extremely long because they were like rubber: Mister Fantastic was born. His ex-girlfriend could turn invisible (The Invisible Woman), her brother can control fire (Human Torch), and the pilot can transform into a rocky hunk (The Thing). However, there was also someone else on board: Victor von Doom. His body was becoming more and more of a metallic substance. This gave him great powers and the ability to manipulate lightning. He opposes the Fantastic Four and becomes their nemesis (Doctor Doom).
