[[folder: Victor Von Doom]]

A reclusive genius who's brought on the project after having previously left. He gets left behind on Planet Zero after the empowering accident, and gains enough power to destroy the planet.
----
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: All he has in common is coming from Latveria, working on a portal with Reed and getting deformed by it, and that's it. No mention of his mother, he never again sees Latverian soil and he gets superpowers the same way the Fantastic Four did.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Goes from a PoweredArmor wearing mage to having vague but [[PhysicalGod near-godly]] PsychicPowers.
* BasementDweller: Or perhaps Hikkikomori, but he's an ill-groomed shut-in with a messy array of high-end tech when we first meet him.
* HeCleansUpNicely: Gets a shower and a haircut before joining the project.
* InNameOnly: No Doombots, no leadership of Latveria, no powered armor, no insecurity about his deformities, no magical proficiency and in the original script, [[AdaptationNameChange he wouldn't even be in name]].
* InsufferableGenius: Makes it known at every chance that any attempts at science done by anyone else are inferior. Even after being told that a teenage Reed got closer to their goal than he did.
* ItIsBeyondSaving: Decides that his [[EldritchLocation new home]] is worth paving over Earth for with this reasoning.
* Jerkass: Demeans Reed at every chance he gets during the portal project, and carries InsufferableGenius to a degree his comic self would call unearned. It seems that he and the team might graduate to VitriolicBestBuds but the accident kills any chance.
* PhysicalGod: While his powers are ill-defined, once he's back in Planet Zero he's explicitly a threat to the entire planet.
* SuperheroMovieVillainsDie: Has to be killed to stop his black hole, and gets clobbered into his own PillarOfLight.
* ThatManIsDead: "There is no Victor. There is only Doom."
* YourHeadAsplode: His hallway massacre sees him demonstrate this as his main offense. [[ForgotAboutHisPowers Not against the F4 though]].

* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: The lone aversion in his group. He's the only one to address himself as "The Human Torch", and Ben as The Thing for that matter, though it was already a military callsign for Ben.
* FoolishSiblingReponsibleSibling: He's eager to be a MilitarySuperhero against his family's reservations towards the idea, and is introduced wrecking his car in a street race.
* JerkAss: While he's the only team member not to blame Reed for his condition, he spends the rest of the movie mocking Victor for being Romani, by calling him [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Adolf]], no less, or mocking Ben for being a rock man. That or blowing off his father.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Alone among his teammates, he adores his superpowers and relishes the day he'll get to use them in the field.
* LogicalWeakness: Doom uses dirt and rocks to smother Johnny and keep him from igniting.
* PlayingWithFire: Demonstrates FlyingFirepower on some drones and on Doom.
* RaceLift: Johnny Storm is White in the comics. Here, the Storms are a Black family, with Sue being adopted.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Brash as he is, he really does want his father's approval.

* BodyHorror: A notable recipient, with PowerIncontinence meeting RubberMan in what could only be made worse by him melting.
* DirtyCoward: Recieves this sentiment for fleeing upon awakening with his powers, leaving the rest to track him.




to:

* PowerIncontinence: The only member of the team to avert it by the end, managing to control himself when his spring-suit is destroyed by Doom in the climax.
* ReedRichardsIsUseless: Zig-Zagged. He takes a teleporter to a high-school science fair, which gets overlooked by the staff but does land him a gig on a high-end government project. That said, a lot of what his teleporter could do was AchievementsInIgnorance, him having no clue he made a gate to another dimension and better than the government's attempt. He thought the objects were going to the Sahara. He plays it straight when he [[DirtyCoward abandons the team]], his solo work accomplishing nothing in curing the mutations.
* RubberMan: Although this one apparently [[RealityWarper distorts spacetime]] to do so. Still means he has to wear springs to control it.
* TallPoppySyndrome: Probably why his speech, and later tangible proof, of teleportation being possible is ignored by a teacher who follows him through elementary school to high school.
* TeenGenius: Built a teleporter to another dimension and entered it in a [[ReedRichardsIsUseless high school scince fair]].


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalNationality: This version is adopted from Kosovo, and the only white member of a mixed family.

* BarrierWarrior: Though she only mounts an offense with her force fields against Doom.

* Flight: Not only can she fly, she can cart around Reed and Ben while Johnny flies on his own.
* Invisibility: Cast on both herself and others.


Added DiffLines:


Reed Richard's school friend who helped him construct his teleporter. Venturing to Planet Zero upon invitation from a drunk Reed permanently encased him in a golem-esque rock form.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: While less is made about the day-to-day angst of being an unsettling rock man, thanks to his seclusion in a BlackSite, he gains an abusive BigBrotherBully.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: No MonsterModesty here, nothing to cover.
* BodyHorror: Concept art shows that Ben's human self is still inside those rocks.
* Catchphrase: He picks up "It's clobberin' time!" from, of all sources, a BigBrotherBully.
* FullFrontalAssault: Tights are just a bit too Creator/JackKirby for this rock man.
* MilitarySuperhero: Background details confirm that Ben follows his father's footsteps in playing this role. He's the only member who gets to be deployed, with 55 confirmed kills.
* UseYourHead: One-shots Reed in this manner.
* WhatTheHellHero: Gives this sentiment towards Reed for abandoning them. Leads to a literal case of HeadbuttingHeroes later.

* AdaptationalJerkass: To the point that it's {{Lampshaded}} by the characters, and resulting in the caption quote. The original Reed was a good person, and after the accident, he brings the team together. Here, he [[WeUsedToBeFriends abandons his friends]] and becomes a wanted fugitive after the accident.
