10 Things You Didn't Know About The Fantastic Four

7. Additional Powers

As a general rule, Mister Fantastic can stretch his body and shrug off physical beatings with his power, Invisible Woman can turn invisible and create forcefields with her power, Human Torch assumes a fiery form, can fly and project fiery blasts with his power, and Thing's rocky hide grants him superhuman strength and durability - but did you know that some of those power sets come with additional abilities? Reed Richards is able to shapeshift so that, for example, his body parts are able to resemble tools. He can also change the density of body so that, in such circumstances, he could make the tool usable (e.g. if he changed his hand into a hammer, it would be hard enough to work as a hammer). He is also practically immune to certain non-brute force attacks, such as electrical blasts and telepathic assaults. Sue Storm can extend her power to create forcefields to essentially simulate telekinesis. Given that she can control the shields she generates, she can use them to grab objects and move them around with her mind. Johnny Storm can control any fire within his vicinity and manipulate it to his will and he can also absorb any heat energy or blasts in order to increase his own power levels and use said energy/blasts for his own purposes. Ben Grimm not only gained increased physical durability, but he also gained increased capacity in other areas. For example, his lung capacity is now so huge that he can go for hours without breathing and his senses can withstand more punishment than they could when he was flesh and bone.
