action
Through cosmic radiation, Reed Richards, his wife Susan and Ben Grimm receive various superpowers and from now on appear as a team against criminals, super villains and aliens with the robot HERBIE. The child-friendly implementation of the individual episodes is self-contained and is partly based on the stories of the original comic books.

In the series, the human torch by the robot HERBIE (was H umanoider E xperimental r ROBOT type B with i ntegrated electronics) replaced. The film rights were then with Universal Studios . The planned television series about Johnny Storm was never implemented. Alternatively, the rumor persisted for a long time that those responsible were afraid that young people would imitate their hero and set themselves on fire.
