    The reason the Fantastic Four are considered the first Marvel heroes is because they're the start of the "Modern Age", not because they are literally the first Marvel hero. Namor takes that title.

    I disagree with a couple of these
    They are the "First Family" not the First Superteam. Because they are indeed a family. Husband, wife/sister, brother in-law and best friend. Those other teams you mentioned do not have these relationships.
    Reed had most (if not all) of his intelligence before he became a superhero. His daughter and Moongirl's powers are super intelligence. That's not really a fair comparison.
    The Thing IS the strongest physically. Invisible Woman is the most powerful. That is a bad play on words/meanings.

    It's kind of a mistake IMHO if someone deliberately fired cosmic rays at Reed and friends; Reed's whole thing is that he was too arrogant to foresee the accident, and learned a little humility from the experience. That goes away if someone was deliberately firing cosmic energy at them. That said, I don't mind if the cosmic rays were in some way artificial, for example if the Silver Surfer were sending his energies out into the void to find worlds for Galactus to consume; then you can still make the case that Reed didn't prepare for it.
    Rather like the difference between being prepared for a traffic accident vs being prepared for someone deliberately trying to kill you with their car.

    Wow never seen a video get so much wrong. Almost Everything used is either a retcon or one off OR gets the fundamental statement interpreted wrong.
    10) Not Marvels first superheroes but first Marvel's first superhero family.
    9) You bring up more recent retcons. It was long established to be a freak accident.
    8) Again by publication they are the first Marvel Superteam. It does not matter if a story is set before FF get their powers, they were written first.
    7-3) Ok yes these are technically correct.
    2) Strength and most powerful are different. Physical strength is Thing's thing. He is Strongest.
    1) ok correct.
