: Seeing as how FF is still being considered as a movie option and common comic book knowledge is that the Fantastic Four and the X-Men are homies on some level or another, it wouldn't surprise me if that was Johnny Storm.
: It seems to be the most marketable solution. Of course I'm probably wrong.
Marvel sold the rights to the FF flik when they were really hurting for cash. Consiquently they signed the contract leaving them without artistic liscence so, they don't even have the right to make suggestions on the movie.
As a point of reference as to how good I expect the FF movie to be (and bear in mind that I love these guys, Reed Richards you dog you, married to a woman half your age). The rights were sold at about the same time the rights to Captain America and the Punisher were sold (just imagine " ... and Dolph Lungred as Ben Grimm AKA The Thing").
: As for San Diego, Hopefully I get a chance to actually meet Kevin this year.
