~Benjamin “Jacob” Grimm grew up in poverty in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York. He had a terribly rough life, a drunk jobless father and brother who was a gang member in the Yancy Street Gang. His parents sustained themselves with help from Ben’s brother Dan who got his money by nefarious means.
Ben’s life took a dramatic turn when his brother was killed by a rival gang. Ben joined the Yancy Street Gang and eventually became it’s leader, but tragedy struck again when his parents were killed and Ben was forced to move in with his Uncle Jake and Aunt Alyce Grimm. His Uncle was a doctor and offered Ben a much more stable life, which Ben refused at first, but slowly Ben came around to the love and care that his family offered. He went to High School and became a football star, getting a scholarship to local Empire University.
While at the university, Ben was the roommate of Reed Richards, a science major. Although vastly different, the odd couple hit it off and became fast friends. When Ben heard of Reeds plan for building a starship he even offered to be the pilot.
After graduating, Ben did just that, he joined the military and became a pilot. He went on to be one of the best test pilots they had and even went on to train as an astronaut. Meanwhile, Reed was working on his starship plans and when he came into funding problems, Reed asked Ben to fulfill his promise years ago in college and help him pilot the ship. Ben was reluctant at first as he thought the shielding might be insufficient to protect them from radiation. Reed talked Ben into it however and they recruited Reed’s girlfriend Sue and her kid brother Johnny to accompany them.
Everything was fine until the ship was dosed in Cosmic Rays, which penetrated the ship and irradiated the crew. Upon landing, Ben and rest of the crew discovered that the Cosmic Rays had somehow changed their very genetic structure. While the other retained their human shape, Ben changed into an orange monstrous creature. Sue announced upon seeing Ben change, “He’s turned into a--some sort of a thing!” The four decided to use their new abilities for mankind and formed the Fantastic Four, a team dedicated to scientific discover and serving the world.~
