'Interheroes' peers inside the stylish homes of superheroes

However, in "Interheroes," illustrator and architect Federico Babina offers a look at the stylish homes of superheroes if they were decorated to reflect their costumed identities.

...the Fantastic Four's, which reflects each of the members: The Thing in the wall, the Human Torch in the fireplace, Mister Fantastic in the chair, and the Invisible Woman in the floor lamp.

Have to agree, the FF one is one of my favorites! Cool and thoughtful work.

You can 16 other superhero pads at Babina's website here, and he offers these as prints.

It looks like Al Ewing is connecting the transformation of Galan into Galactus and the cosmic ray bombardment of the Fantastic Four with the gamma ray irradiation of Bruce Banner.

In Fantastic Four #81, Crystal mentions she is the same age as Sue was when the FF were founded, but then in Fantastic Four #82, Reed says Crystal is a minor. Did a teenage Sue get engaged to a Reed Richards who was old enough to have been a vet in a war that ended 16 years prior?

They've played around with how old Reed and Sue were when they first met a bit over the years. Especially when John Byrne had his way .

The quotes are another brilliant example of how Stan Lee often skipped over or neglected details to advance a story. Remember Bob Banner? But there was no way Sue wasn't an adult flying up into the rocket. She was Johnny's guardian after their parents' death. Looking at Crystal's age, I can easily imagine her to be a minor (16-17) when first introduced. Personally, I'd earn a no-prize by saying Crystal meant she was Johnny's age.

Yeah, I think that's the simplest way to look at it.
