The Fantastic Four Were Marvel's First Response to DC's Justice League

In the 21st century, the Avengers have become Marvel's premier superhero team. A collection of heroes that cover the wide scope of the Marvel Universe and are often led by heroes like Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, and the Hulk, it is easy to see how The Avengers could be compared to DC's Justice League. Justice League's big selling point was bringing the company's biggest heroes together in a single book. However, the Avengers' popularity is rather new. DC's creation of the Justice League led Marvel Comics to create a team book of their own, but it wasn't The Avengers. No, the team the Justice League inspired was actually the Fantastic Four.
