Rather than simply retelling the Fantastic Four's origin story, The Fantastic Four: First Steps movie cleverly uses flashbacks to explain how the family and friends foursome gained their powers and their history on Earth-828, where no other superheroes exist. Super-smart scientist 'Reed Richards' still blames himself for the accident that resulted in their superhuman transformation as the quartet of adventurers face a new threat to the world and their family from outer space with the coming of a female 'Silver Surfer' and the world-devouring, ancient cosmic being, 'Galactus'.
