The new comic series Fantastic Four: First Steps is a modern, all-ages retelling of the team's origin story, designed as an accessible entry point for new readers, separate from the main Marvel universe.

The first issue concludes with an "MCU-style" post-credits scene that reveals the series' first major villains. In a secret lab, a mysterious figure assembles a team of classic villains, including:

• Wizard
• Paste-Pot Pete (later known as the Trapster)
• Sandman
• Medusa of the Inhumans

This group is instantly recognizable to fans as the Frightful Four, the original evil counterparts to the Fantastic Four.

The final panel of the comic provides a major clue to the identity of the mastermind behind this team, showing a green cloak and armored gauntlet. This strongly implies that the team's iconic arch-nemesis, Doctor Doom, is the one orchestrating the formation of the Frightful Four to challenge the newly-formed heroes.
