The Four

Best image I could find
Here is group of characters that are based on the Fantastic Four. However, the Four (unlike Fantastic Four) are the main villains of Planetary.
History
They were part of Artemis, a secret 1961 moon launch. However, "a rift in the fabric of the universe" teleported to another planet. This planet's inhabitants were powergul and paranoid about the Earth due its super humans. Dowling promised to suppress super humans on Earth in exchanged for super powers. The inhabitants agreed and told to spend up to 50 years to prepare the Earth to be destroyed. When this will happen, they would be allowed to travel against Multiverse. When they got back to Earth, they began their scheme by using various methods to suppress humanity's advancement. They have fought Planetary, who posed a threat to their fan. When the deadline was coming up, Randall kidnapped Planetary member Elijah Snow and blocked his memory. However, Snow was saved by Planetary. When his memory returned, Snow re-tasked Planetary for the sole purpose of fighting (and eventually destroy) the Four.
