Default What if the Fantastic Four was formed today?

This is a fan fiction I've been writing on Marvel.com.
Tell me if you like it, please.

if the Fantastic Four was formed today, the leader would be a female of either Islamic, Asian, or Hispanic descent- and she'd probably be a lesbian or single mother or both or something like that- the flamey guy would be a vegetarian and drive a hybrid- and his fire would be some sort of magical clean combustion process that puts out no carbon emissions- the muscular rocky guy would be a misunderstood poet with a mysterious past, and the stretchy guy would be an African American from a rough neighborhood that has had a lot of hurdles to overcome in his life, but he has succeeded to make something of his life despite (and, perhaps, because) of that.

Yes, if Marvel actually were to make it into a comic, that would be something. Sadly, I don't think the editors read the message boards.

Being the sort of writer who loves feedback, I've been meaning to ask: What did you like most about the story? What, if anything, did you dislike most?

Having more descriptive text and not just dialogue adds more colour to a story, but if this is for a comic then the graphics would make up for that.

Yes, it's written in "comic book style". What did you like best?

Have you seen the recent movie... I believe it did a great job of bringing the Fantastic 4 into the modern world.
