This story discusses major plot developments, including the ending and post-credits scenes, in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” currently playing in theaters. From the very first scene, the question of what will become of the child of Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) and Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby) looms over “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Honestly, no joke, The Fantastic Four: First Steps had such a killer emotional scene that fans straight-up forgot Vanessa Kirby is also in Avengers: Doomsday. Yep, the same Kirby who’s supposed to be suiting up for Marvel’s next mega-event had us convinced Sue Storm was actually dying.

In their MCU debut, the Fantastic Four become a Fantastic Five with the arrival of Reed and Sue's son, Franklin Richards. Worries that he might not be "normal" are confirmed in Fantastic Four: First Steps when Galactus recognises that the boy can wield an unlimited energy known as the Power Cosmic (presumably because of the "cosmically compromised DNA" shared by both of his parents).
