Panels from What If? v.1 #36 (December 1982), script and art by John Byrne, colors by Bob Sharen, letters by Joe Rosen
Cast your peepers on Earth-8212, a world where Reed Richards apparently thought it wasn't such a good idea to steal a rocketship and carry his girlfriend and her kid brother into a cosmic ray storm. Minimum safety requirement equals no superpower equals no Fantastic Four...but it does give birth to The Richards Rocket Group, a quartet of adventurers (including Ben Grimm) who battle evil despite having no superpowers. Also, they got cool hats 'n' guns. Wonder how well those will help against Galactus, huh?

I'm going to wait 24 hours and see if funnier people than me make a good Team Rocket reference.
So basically, this version of the FF is Marvel's version of "Challengers of the Unknown."
Erin - Yes, with a dash of Quatermass on the side.
They're protecting the world from devastation and uniting all peoples within our nation!
I had to get that out my system. Of course, that still leaves room for a good Team Rocket reference.
