Marvel's First Family gains another title! The Fantastic Four and their friends are celebrating Franklin's 8th birthday. After the cake is brought out and Franklin is given his presents, Kourtney Keaton, Johnny's new girlfriend, asks if they can leave yet. Meanwhile, Franklin is upset that he got a wagon for his birthday instead of the video game console he asked for. This disappoints Reed, but they are all interrupted by the Thing who tells them that their accountant Jed Shultz has asked to speak to them all. Meeting with Jed he tells them that the Fantastic Four are now broke thanks to the United States government cutting funding to scientific research. He tells them that with a rocky market combined with the fact that their money manager -- Terry Giocometti -- has swindled their fortune along with money stolen from Stark Enterprises and Oscorp. Shultz advises them that with their net worth obliterated they should file for bankruptcy. Johnny protests this idea, telling their accountant that super-heroes don't go bankrupt. Shultz points out that they still need to pay taxes and bills and therefor their only option is for them all to get jobs.
