Franklin Storm

Franklin Storm is the father of Sue and Johnny Storm, the Invisible Woman and the Human Torch of the Fantastic Four. A doctor whose troubled past created distance from his children, his reconnection with them is deeply tied to the Fantastic Four's family dynamic.

Franklin Storm has been a quiet but meaningful presence in Marvel's Fantastic Four corner of the universe since his Silver Age debut in Fantastic Four #32 in 1964, sharing pages with legends like Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, and the Storm siblings themselves. Affiliated with the Fantastic Four and woven into one of Marvel's most beloved family dynamics, he's the kind of character whose modest appearance count belies a genuine emotional weight in the stories he touches. With over six decades of publication history and a key-issue debut to his name, he's a rewarding discovery for collectors who love digging into the human heart behind Marvel's first family.
