10 Most Tragic Moments In The History Of The Fantastic Four

Superheroes may put their lives on the line for the greater good but that hasn't stopped society turning on them like clockwork. "Spider-Man's a menace!" "Mutants are evil!" "The Hulk is a danger to us all!"

But because the Fantastic Four are respected scientists and don't hide behind masks, they usually don't suffer this sort of stigma.

Emphasis on the word "usually". After the Fantastic Four mishandled an attack on New York City, they were forced to answer for all their transgressions. The prosecutor pointed out the FF have caused billions of dollars in damage, allied with "terrorists" like Namor the Submariner, allowed their children to consort with known dictator, Doctor Doom, and intentionally opened a portal that allowed aliens to invade Earth.

The nail in the coffin was when Reed Richards admitted under oath that there was a period where he was in possession of the most destructive technology in the universe, The Ultimate Nullifier, and didn't inform the authorities.

The case concluded with the Fantastic Four being found guilty of reckless behaviour, which caused society to turn on the once beloved superheroes.
