This action cartoon, produced by Creator/HannaBarbera for Creator/{{ABC}}, was among the first of several {{animated adaptation}}s of the ''Comicbook/FantasticFour'' comic book. Several of the Creator/StanLee[=/=]Creator/JackKirby [[ComicBook/FantasticFour1961 stories from the early issues]] were adapted for this program. This series ran for 20 episodes, including two 10-minute shorts, until the {{Media Watchdog}}s demanded less violence in children's television.

* {{Irony}}: The rights to the series are currently owned by Creator/WarnerBros, who also owns Marvel's biggest competitor Creator/DCComics. Meanwhile Marvel itself is now owned by Creator/{{Disney}}, who acquired a backlog of animated Marvel adaptations from other companies several years prior to acquiring Marvel themselves, but wouldn't own the Fantastic Four film rights until buying what is now Creator/TwentiethCenturyStudios in 2019.

* TruerToTheText: Zigzagged. Coming a year after ''WesternAnimation/TheMarvelSuperheroes'', Namor's heroic stand-in Triton is the ruler of Pacifica rather than Atlantis. On the one hand, Namor's creator Bill Everett never intended for Namor's home to be Atlantis. On the other, Namor's people lived in the Antarctic Ocean.

* {{Nonindicative Name}}s: "The Menace of the Mole Man" adapts a comic titled, "The Return of the Mole Man!", while "The Return of the Mole Man" adapts a comic titled, "The Mad Menace of the Macabre Mole Man". The former episode's title doesn't match its comic because Hanna-Barbera had yet to adapt the first ''Fantastic Four'' issue. (When they finally did so, they left out Mole Man's scenes to boot.)
