Plot

''World's Greatest Heroes'' is not directly connected to any of the previous iterations of the Fantastic Four, telling its own version of the team's origin and their encounters with their rogues gallery. Unlike its 1994 predecessor, which consisted almost entirely of straight or modified reinterpretations of classic ''Fantastic Four'' comic book stories, ''World's Greatest Heroes'' primarily features original stories, though elements from various comic iterations of the Fantastic Four were used in the series.
