History WMG / FantasticFour

* He wants to conquer the world but we have seen before that when he wins he finds that VictoryIsBoring. [[WantingIsBetterThanHaving The actual conquest for him is far more fun that actually doing the work of running the world.]] And his conquest of the world is about improving it, [[ItsAllAboutMe he's doing it for himself.]] [[ComicBook/AllStarSuperman Doom could have saved the world ''years'' ago if it really mattered to him.]] But unless the world is in immediate danger, it doesn't matter. He cares about the world, but not enough to improve it unless it's on his terms, something Susan Storm has called him out for, because satisfying his ego is more important.

[[WMG: Galactus was actually Ego the Living Planet in disguise]]
A giant power hungry planetary dust-cloud that eats other planets fits Ego more than it does Galactus. Silver Surfer might still have gotten his powers and served the real Galactus, but at some point he ran afoul of Ego, who brainwashed him into finding worlds that Ego could feed on while masquerading as the surfer's true master. It also explains how easily Silver Surfer was able to defeat the dust cloud because it wasn't the true Galactus. In order to beat Galactus you need something on the same power level, while with Ego you need only destroy him as you would a planet.

[[WMG: Origin of FF's powers]]
It wasn't a wave of cosmic rays that mutated them: their spacestation just happened to be close to where [[Franchise/Ben10 Azmuth]] made some of his early Omnitrix experiments, and the powersurge gave them the powers of Upgrade, Big Chill, Heatblast and Chromastone.

[[WMG: Galactus and/or Silver Surfer are the reason the cosmic storm arrived early in the first movie.]]
Thus the two being [[AdaptationalOriginConnection indirectly responsible]] for the [[CreateYourOwnHero team's creation]], just like in the [[WesternAnimation/FantasticFour 1994 cartoon]] and ''ComicBook/HeroesReborn''.

[[WMG: The cosmic storm gave birth to the mutant race.]]
During his presentation to Victor, Reed said that a cosmic storm hit Earth long ago and accelerated the evolution of life. If Fox had made both [[Film/XMenFilmSeries movie franchises]] [[SharedUniverse share the same universe]] ([[WhatCouldHaveBeen which was briefly considered]][[note]]Also, William Stryker had a file of Franklin Richards in his computer, as shown in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''.[[/note]]), then this likely would have been true.

* If Doom succeeds in ruling the world, he will find a way to eradicate all evil in the 616 universe. He would not be an evil tyrant as some believe. No, he will allow people to go on with their lives like normal. The only downside is that everyone on the planet must obey his laws. Just look at the people of Latveria. Doom is never shown beating or killing his people.

* Even with the scene of Philip Masters vanishing after falling out the window, the shot of his puppet's crown falling off and hitting the pavement and Reed's statement of not finding the villain's body make his fate seem rather suspect. Most likely, the Puppet Master was supposed to die, but they had to change it to him disappearing mysteriously at the last minute because of censorship concerns over featuring death in a kids' cartoon.

* When the Skrulls were first introduced, they were very short and grotesque-looking, being archetypical "LittleGreenMen." Over the years, they've come to be portrayed as much more humanoid, albeit with pointy ears and bumpy chins (their women in particular); but occasionally an artist will take them back to their more goblinesque visual roots without explanation. But an explanation is simple enough for a race of shapeshifters. While an individual Skrull probably keeps his facial features constant enough to remain recognizable, more general aspects of his appearance like height and body proportions are basically arbitrary, like a human choosing an outfit out of the closet each morning.

* Due to ComicBookTime, Franklin has aged slower than anyone else in the Marvel Universe. Since Franklin is a reality warper who can't entirely control his powers, the explanation is simple. He enjoys being a little boy. And nobody has noticed the discrepancy because he doesn't want them to. He probably doesn't even consciously realize he's doing it. Valeria might be clever enough to notice it, though; and it would be just like her not to tell anyone.
