Human Torch. Ben Grimm's skin turns rocklike and impervious to most harm, and his strenght increases immensely. Upset at his new appearance, he christens himself
The Thing.
Together, these people decided to use their powers to benefit mankind, and become the...Fantastic Four. The identities of the Fantastic Four are publicly known.
