What If? Newer Fantastic Four #1

In a reality where the Fantastic Four are reimagined as Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, and Spider-Man, the team faces an escalating crisis when Kang’s attack triggers a wave of disappearances across the multiverse. With the fate of heroes everywhere hanging in the balance, Iron Man takes the lead as the New FF unite with the Silver Surfer, Dr. Strange, and Adam Warlock to confront a cosmic threat wielding the power of the Infinity Gauntlet — a force that threatens to unravel existence itself.

In a wild twist of cosmic irony, the Hulk takes on a roster of legendary heroes in a no-holds-barred wrestling match against the Illuminators—only to discover he’s been played by a fellow Warbound in a prank reality show. With the likes of Mr. Fantastic, Iron Man, and the Watcher watching from the sidelines, the battle blurs the line between combat and spectacle, leaving the Hulk both furious and bewildered.

When Chase lies dying from a stab wound and Iron Lad’s true allegiance is exposed, the Runaways are forced to fight Victor Mancha on two fronts—present and future—while Kang’s sudden arrival throws the battle into chaos. With their bonds tested and the stakes higher than ever, the team must decide what it truly means to stand together.
