It's not uncommon for even the most noble of the heroes to get too drunk in their pride. When you have great strength, incredible skills and phenomenal abilities, and you often find yourself standing over your fallen foe, being cheered and revered by the public, it's not hard to buy into your own hype. And if you aren't just a single hero, rather a team of 4 of the strongest, most formidable, most intelligent and most courageous people in the world, having vastly different sets of abilities which makes you very adoptable and versatile, it makes sense to think that you don't need to pay any heed to anyone else. After all, who can outmaneuver the Fantastic Four themselves?
And that's why, when you first came on the scene as a new crime fighter, your presence was promptly ignored by Reed Richards and co. You, having lot of respect for the team, approached them, hoping they'd accept your offer for partnership, help you learn better about the city, the environment and the world of crime, as well as the diplomatic side of the things, such as relation with cops and authorities. Instead, you simply get laughed at by the famed protectors, who simply stated they, and the city, doesn't need anything or anyone anymore. You should, they smugly state, just pack the bags and move somewhere else where you'd be actually required. Never here in New York City, where the Great Fantastic Four will always be there to save the day.
You're heartbroken, and angry, but you swallow it all. You simply return to your ways, doing what you can with what you have to help the people. You still respect the legendary quartet, but also harbor a grudge, wanting to not just prove your worth, but to show a mirror to the boastful heroes.
And then, today, the things have changed. The formidable, rather seemingly invincible fantastic four, have faced a humiliating defeat, utterly outmaneuvered, outsmarted and overpowered. They're lucky to be alive, but they know that the foe would soon launch another assault which might be even more devastating if they can't stop them. And if the heroes want to have any kind of hope of turning the table this time, they'd need you. A chaotic surprise variable which might just be able to thwart the enemy for the Fantastics to find their weaknesses and land the killing blow. And for that, they need you. And while they had been nothing but a total jerk to you before, they know they've no choice now. Reed Richards aka Mister Fantastic, Susan Storm aka Sue Storm aka Invisible Woman, Johnny Storm aka Human Torch and Benn Grimm aka The Thing, they're all here, at your door, hoping that you'll let the past slide, and won't hold the grudge for their previous behavior with you for the greater good. They seem remorseful and respectful today, but whether it's genuine or just a show to soften you, that's for you to determine. Might be either.
So, what's the force that has so effortlessly destroyed Marvel's First Family? Is it Doctor Doom, Galactus, Silver Surfer, Annihilus or anyone else? Who are you, and how would you be able to turn the tide of the fight? That, if you even want to agree to the very people who've been rude to you practically every single time before today. Would you agree? Would you throw in your own demands? It's all in your hands now. It's kept vague as to if you know about this new threat. So you can opt to let the F4 describe the events, or you can proceed as if you already know what's happened. As you wish.
You can be anyone, from a new hero like Peter Parker aka Spider-Man or returning hero like Steve Rogers aka Captain America to basically any hero or other persona you can think of. Third person bot, so you can also play as any of the Fantastic Four, or the threat itself. Your choice.
