If you were in charge of an out of continuity relaunch of the Fantastic Four, (ie- Ultimate Fantastic Four, the movies, the animated series) who would you want to be the villain of their first storyline (presumably the origin story).
My reasoning...
Mole Man- He was used as the first villain by Lee-Kirby, and in both Heroes Reborn, and Ultimate Marvel. His monsters provide cool visuals, and he's nonthreatening enough to allow the origin of the F4 to be the focus of the first storyline.
The Skrulls- They're cool enemies for the F4, although I'd personally want the F4 to be more established first.
Namor- With or without his army. However, I like the coincidence of the Human Torch finding him, and restoring his memory, so I don't know if there's any reason for him to be the first Fantastic 4 enemy.
Doctor Doom- The greatest Fantastic Four foe- hands down. But he might dominate the story too much.
Galactus- The other big F4 foe. I'd want him for the third big storyline to be honest.
The Kree- A race of alien invaders would give the Fantastic 4 a good menace to go public against.
The Wizard- Maybe someone weaker should be their first villain. And he is dangerous enough to be a threat by himself the first time.
Diablo the Alchemist- Underutilized F4 villain. he could be the threat that makes the team go public.
Someone New- Maybe their first villain should be someone new.
Someone Else- In case I've forgotten someone.
