This week we're stepping into MCU territory with THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS. Angel is missing. Evan does his best to hold down the fort with special guest Adam Suellentrop, who drops knowledge bombs from baby steps to giant leaps forward.

*Adam called out "Elastic Man" being similar to Mr. Fantastic, but we think he may have meant "Plastic Man" (https://www.dc.com/characters/plastic-man). But Evan agreed and didn't realize either, so that's on him.
*The Quinjet actually belongs to the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. (Here are the Fan4 vehicles: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Vehicles_of_the_Fantastic_Four)
