[edit] Trivia

  • Due to the rights to the Sub-Mariner being held by Grantray-Lawrence Animation, the adaptation of the first meeting between the FF and Namor was altered. Instead, Triton, an original pastiche of Namor was reworked into the Namor role.
  • In the episode "Galactus", Sue Richards (The Invisible Girl), has the role originated by Alicia Masters (explaining to the Silver Surfer about humanity).
  • Through a series of transactions, Disney currently holds the rights to Marvel's 1960s-1990s animated output. However, the 1967-1968 Fantastic Four was produced by Hanna-Barbera, which is part of Time Warner, making the series one of only a handful of Marvel related TV projects not owned by Disney.
