Roberta
Roberta is the android receptionist at the Fantastic Four's Baxter Building headquarters, designed to appear human while managing the team's front desk, screening visitors, and handling communications for Reed Richards and his teammates.
Roberta made her debut in the Bronze Age classic Fantastic Four Annual #17 (1983), brought to life by Larry Elmore, and has been a quiet but enduring presence in Marvel's First Family corner of the universe ever since. A member of the Fantastic Four's own extended world, she's shared the pages with luminaries like Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm across a publishing span that stretches an impressive three decades β from 1983 all the way to 2014. Her appearances span the flagship Fantastic Four series, its Annuals, and Marvel Knights 4, and at least one of those turns has earned genuine key-issue recognition among collectors. Seventeen appearances may not sound like a crowd, but for a character woven so consistently into the fabric of Marvel's most iconic super-family, Roberta is absolutely worth a second look on any serious collector's shelf.
