Purpose: The Fantastic Four is a private corporation, owned entirely by its four founding members. The Fantastic Four makes its services available without charge to safeguard the world from any threat beyond the power of conventional peacekeeping forces to handle. Though they do not directly function beneath any direct supervision of the United States government, the Fantastic Four tends to deal with it and its agencies on a more cooperative basis.

The Fantastic Four also deals in scientific research; the organization is financed by profits from the patents on inventions and discoveries made by Reed Richards. The Fantastic Four is a group that deals heavily in science, exploration, and adventure - boldly moving towards fresh and new horizons. The Fantastic Four exists in this moment to ensure this world has a place in the Future.

The Fantastic Four, regardless of membership, is and will always be a Family first. Through thick and thin, through triumph and tragedy, they will remain a family, with ties that can never be severed. They are the Fantastic Four: Heroes of the Modern Age.

Membership: Misleading as the name of the group may be, The Fantastic Four does not cap its membership at the number Four. Becoming a part of the Fantastic Four is becoming a part of a family and it is through that family that someone gains acceptance into the organization. Possible candidates are brought up to the rest of the current members of the Fantastic Four and their candidacy is discussed and voted upon. Unanimous decisions will allow the candidate to join the group without issue. However, in the event of a tie or disagreements in possible membership, the decision defers to the group's head (Reed Richards) and the group's XO (Sue Storm) to make the final decision.

The Baxter Building
It's quite poetic that the headquarters of the world famous Fantastic Four is located only a few blocks away from the United Nations Building. Standing 35 stories tall, The Baxter Building is a treasure of the Manhattan skyline. Under the ownership of Reed Richards the Baxter has become more than just an old building, but a home to heroes. But as the land lord, Reed does try to be considerate to the other tenants. And he's done this by adding a two story buffer zone between the top and the lower levels. But the top five floors aren't considered your normal living area. Thanks to Reed's constant brainstorming, aspects of the upper floors are always changing and being improved, from living conditions to security. Making the top five floors safe for anyone residing on them. The exterior of the top levels are armored and mirrored, making solid sections indistinguishable from the transparent ones. But the interior design of their headquarters holds true and the look is like that out of a science fiction movie, with the exceptions being the public areas and their personal living spaces.

Fantasti-car
There have been quite a few models of the Fantasti-car over the years. It wasn't until the decommissioning of the most recent model did Reed realize that the team needed a single vehicle with multiple purposes rather than a multitude of vehicles with single purposes. However some models Reed felt were too perfect to get rid of.

The Fantasti-car Mk I was the first and by far one of his greatest inventions. Back when green was still considered a 'tree hugging' concept. Reed designed and created a flying vehicle that can be flown under its own power. Dubbed the 'Flying bathtub' because of its design, it's still in use to this day. Not as a vehicle to take into situations, but more as a personal form of transportation.

Fantasti-car Mk VIII was one of those builds that was made for promotional needs. Using parts bought directly from the Dodge Motor Company, Reed was able to take a four Hemi engines and turn it into a power plant with enough power to fly as a single vehicle and four separate modules.

The current model, Fantasti-car Mk XII, has become a combination of all previous models built into one with some new tweaks. Though unlike the prior models, Reed redesigned this one with speed, resilience and exploration in mind. With the only similarity being the current one is able to split into four different modules with each built for a specific member of the team. But the new modules are now pressurized and sealed under canopies allowing the occupants protection from the vacuum of space and the crushing depths of the ocean. For this model though Reed constructed a specialized unit that links to and enhances the Fantasti-car capabilities. Now with a single vehicle the Fantastic Four are able to travel into deep space as well as to the bottom of the ocean.

Uniform
They may same on the outside, the uniforms worn by the Fantastic For as just as diverse as the people who wear them. Each was designed with a specific persons interests in mind. Treated with 'unstable molecules', the uniforms are made to protect the wearer from the elements as well as insulates them from electrical assaults. Each uniform is a wearable computer with a complete data processing system lined into the material on a molecular level. Each uniform is connected to a secure network providing a constant, real-time up-link of communications, location and telemetry on the physical condition of each wearer.

Unstable Molecules
One of Reed's greatest inventions was the creation of 'Unstable Molecules'. Though created through pure chance, Reed was able re-engineer the atomic structure of the molecules and create a treatment for fabrics and leather. It's only after the articles of clothing have been treated with the molecules will they be able to sync up with the genetic makeup of the wearer. Once synchronized the clothing is granted a certain amount of protection from its wearers abilities. It's only though the constant atomic flux that allows outfits treated with the molecules to be incredibly resilient to any sort of drastic change, making any article administered with the molecules ideal for superhero costumes.
