5. Spider-Man
Look, there was never going to be anyone else in the fifth slot.
The most deserving member of the non-original Fantastic Four is Peter Parker, the amazing, spectacular…uh…web of(?) Spider-Man. In fact, it was in his second appearance ever that Spider-Man first tried to join the Fantastic Four.
In Amazing Spider-Man #1, Parker decided to prove he should be in the FF by…breaking into their house and attacking them, like an a-hole. Shockingly, this didn’t work. Years later, when the original FF were unavailable, Parker was brought in as a member of the New Fantastic Four, alongside Hulk, Wolverine, and Ghost Rider.
This was pretty fun, but it didn’t last long. He got his second chance when The Human Torch died and the Fantastic Four revamped themselves as the Future Foundation. Spider-Man was Johnny Storm’s handpicked successor to replace him. And how much more cred can you get?
