225* LeotardOfPower: Just like She-Hulk, she wears one that highlights her curves.

307!!! '''Alter Egos:''' Vector, Ironclad, Vapor, X-Ray
308!!! '''First Appearance:''' ''The Incredible Hulk'' Vol. 1 #254 (December, 1980)
309
310Corporate executive Simon Utrecht wasn't satisfied with having immense wealth and influence. Desiring greater power and inspired by the accident that gave the ComicBook/FantasticFour superhuman powers, Utrecht sponsored a space mission with the intent of being bombarded with cosmic rays similar to the Four and gaining powers of his own. The plan succeeded, with Utrecht and his crew gaining superhuman powers, but when Bruce Banner saw what they were doing, he aborted the launch and brought them back to Earth fearing the exposure would kill them. Enraged at having their quest for power cut short, Utrecht and his crew attacked the Hulk with the superhuman abilities they'd gained. Banner defended himself by turning into the Hulk, but the battle was cut short when the U-Foes, as they called themselves, lost control of their powers. They seemed to have been killed by their own abilities, but eventually managed to restore themselves and would return to torment the Hulk time and again.
311
312Simon Utrecht gained superhuman repelling powers as Vector, while pilot Mike Steele became the superstrong and metallic Ironclad. Crew member Jimmy Darnell became the radioactive X-Ray, while his sister Ann Darnell became Vapor, capable of turning herself into any form of chemical gas.
313----
314* BlessedWithSuck: All four are living powerhouses, but not only are their powers usually unstable and nearly killed them more than once, but their mutations give them inhuman appearances. Vector himself has pondered if getting power was worth becoming freaks, especially since Vapor's gaseous state and his repelling field means they can no longer embrace.
315* DumbMuscle: When you look at their powersets, they're actually far, far above the Fantastic Four and could easily be Avengers-level threats if they had half a mind. Unfortunately for them, they are a bunch of petty, lazy, unimaginative idiots who are perfectly content to work as mid-level mercenaries and frequent punching bags for the Hulk.
316* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: All of them are very close, and are never seen apart, which really says something given their conditions hurt each other. Hurting one is a good way to piss off the others.
317* EvilCounterpart: To the Fantastic Four. Oddly, they've never actually fought the Fantastic Four. This was also completely intentional on their part; they got their powers deliberately through the same method as the FF.
318* FourIsDeath: Four {{AxCrazy}} superhumans.
319* FourTemperamentEnsemble: A parallel to the Fantastic Four.
320* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The U-Foes succeeded in gaining their powers, but Banner's interrupting their trip meant they didn't get enough radiation to actually control their powers. This led to their first defeat without the Hulk even needing to do anything. Subsequent occurrences can be blamed on them not caring enough to get good with their abilities.
321* MythologyGag: Their dialogue when they gain their powers is similar to the Fantastic Four's.
322* NiceJobFixingItVillain: They tried to kill the Hulk on live TV. Not only did they naturally fail, but their efforts also revealed Bruce was in control of the Hulk at the time, giving him a massive publicity boost.
323* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Sure, they don't have much street cred, but Vector can repel the magic of Comicbook/DoctorStrange, hurl planets, reduce the Hulk to a walking skeleton, and rip apart reality itself. Also, they think nothing of blowing up thousands as long as they get paid.
324** If one takes time to examine their powers, they're actually considerably more powerful than the Fantastic Four (they were exposed to considerably more cosmic rays). Unfortunately, they aren't nearly as smart as the FF, which is probably the main thing holding them back from being major villains.
325* PowerfulButIncompetent: Just one of them could pose a credible threat to the Fantastic Four, and the four of them put together have the sort of firepower that would typically make the Avengers take notice. Fortunately for everyone else, they are too stupid and lazy to realize the true potential of their abilities (half the time, they manage to defeat themselves when their powers go haywire because they still have a novice-level grasp of them at best), and, more importantly, would much rather work as hired thugs or go around spoiling for a fight with the Hulk than put in the effort to advance themselves as a team.
326* PowerIncontinence: Vapor nearly dissipated, Vector repelled himself off the planet, Ironclad sank to the Earth's core, and X-Ray nearly overloaded when he absorbed too much radiation to control. Their powers doing all sorts of things that they're not supposed to do is a regular occurrence, and half the time, your best bet against them is to just wait for their powers to backfire.
327* RoguesGalleryTransplant: They've served as generic enemies for the greater Marvel Universe for a while. Also, during ''Acts of Vengeance'', they went after the West Coast Avengers.
328* SiblingsInCrime: Ann and James are siblings.
329* UngratefulBastard: Their foolhardy expedition would have likely gotten them killed from overexposure to cosmic radiation if Bruce Banner hadn't brought their spacecraft down. As it is, they survived while gaining superpowers, and then tried to kill Banner for interfering in their affairs.
330* UnholyMatrimony: Vapor and Vector.
331* WorfEffect: Similar to the Wrecking Crew, enemies of ComicBook/TheMightyThor, the U-Foes eventually became second-tier villains to be beaten up by everybody. Still, similar to the above mention WC, they get very few moments to shine here and there.

371* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Just like Invisible Woman, Vapor is the only female among the U-Foes.
372* SuperSmoke: And a whole lot of other gases too. Vapor's powers allow her to transform herself into any kind of gas she desires. Mustard gas and carbon monoxide work great for choking even heroes like the Hulk.
373* WeaksauceWeakness: As might be expected of someone with a semi-solid form, Vapor can be defeated by a strong enough wind or anything that disrupts her concentration. Remember that Hulk can clap his hands with enough force to make a sonic boom...
