  • Celebrity Voice Actor: Several famous actors provide voices for the series:
    • Reed Richards and Susan Storm are voiced by veteran actors Gerald Mohr and Jo Ann Pflug, respectively.
    • Likewise, drama actor Joseph Sirola voiced Doctor Doom.
  • Exiled from Continuity: While the episodes were adapted from the original comics, some characters couldn't be used because Grantray-Lawrence Animation already claimed their rights for use in The Marvel Super Heroes.
    • Namor wasn't able to appear on the show and was replaced with an original character named Triton in the episode "Danger in the Depths". In spite of the rights issues, the episode still featured Namor's love interest Lady Dorma and his enemy Attuma even though they were prominently featured in The Marvel Super Heroes in the segments starring Namor.
    • Ant-Man couldn't be used in "The Micro World of Doctor Doom" because he was featured in Captain America and Hulk segments adapted from stories about The Avengers, so he was Adapted Out.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Now that Hanna-Barbera is owned by Warner Bros., and Marvel Entertainment is owned by Disney, this version of The Fantastic Four is unlikely to see a DVD/Blu-ray release. The show has continued to air on international Turner channels since the acquisition, though.
