Hopes are high for The Fantastic Four: First Steps; not only will it introduce the Fantastic Four to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but judging by director Matt Shakman‘s comments, it sounds like audiences will get a truly faithful take on Marvel’s first family. But while the Fantastic Four have struggled when it comes to their film history, they thrive in television, especially where one animated series is concerned. In 2006, Cartoon Network launched Fantastic Four: World’s Greatest Heroes (a title that made reference to the Fantastic Four comics being referenced as “The World’s Greatest Comic Book Magazine” by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby). While Fantastic Four: World’s Greatest Heroes only lasted a single season, it got everything right about the Fantastic Four, especially the family dynamic that powers the series.
