The first Marvel family had a history of adaptation as they did in the comedy itself. As one of the vanguard of the silver era of the cartoons, such as Spider-Man, she was often at the forefront of Marvel expanding outside the page and to TV and at the end the movie-now Fantastic Four: First Steps It will be just the latest in this long line. But in bringing Red, Su, Johnny, and Ben to MCU, The first steps It also brings another part of this adaptive date in the form of a small robot for the team, Herby.
We only see Herbie- which means “Humanoid Robot B-Type”-in this week’s trailer for The first steps Cooking a meal with something at the team’s residence in the Baxter building, but Herbie was part of our first looks to the movie from the beginning, from the moment the actors were confirmed for the first time. This is logical, while giving his origins, because Hirby not only originated from adapting himself, but when he was first presented, he was a complete member of the Quartet in itself.
New Fantastic Four
Hirby first appeared in 1978 as part of the team’s second animated series, New Fantastic FourDeveloped by Depatie-Freleng Enterprises after NBC mediated in a deal between the animation studio and Hanna-Parbera, which was originally scheduled to follow up on the 1967 cartoon, and exchange development A. Ghadzella An animation chain that will also be broadcast in the same year. Herby was just strange problems New Fantastic Four In the face of early development: At that time, Marvel and University licensed a number of comic characters for TV and potential live films, including human Torch. Unable to use Johnny in the animation chain due to rights, Stan Lee developed Dibatti-Verling on an alternative member of the team, in the form of a Robot R2-D2-ASQEE.
Initially, Dave Cockerum approached Dibati – Ferling and Marvel – known at the time as the main photographer in the first years of Chris Cleremont’s legendary race X-MenThe co-author of the likes of Storm, Colossus, and Nightcrawler-for the design of the new fourth member of the team. However, Cockrum was said to have risen to the idea of having to replace Johnny, and to deliberate designs for the robot that was raw and primitive. Instead, the studio turned into Fantastic Four Participant creator Jacques Kirby to deal with the design of the character, which is originally called “ZZ-123” before obtaining his absurd abbreviated name, while Kirby’s final work with Marvel will be before the publisher left for the first time.
Although he is the “new member” of the Titular team, the role of Herbie in New Fantastic Four It was very little. In a series that was already restricted in largely according to the rules of broadcasting standards at the time, Herbie was not a great active fighter, and was largely reduced to the background as a sensor and technical support, and chat away and present comments (apparently unlike The first stepsin New Fantastic Four Hirby can communicate in English, and it was expressed by the cartoon legend Frank Wilker).
Herby is heading to cartoons
New Fantastic Four It was not a particularly good offer, either by fans or NBC. After the end of the first season in December 1978, many factors led to the NBC chain not captured for the expected second season – but Herby will not perish with the offer he created. After only months New Fantastic Four Marif Wilfman and John Bern Hirby concluded to comedy on pages Fantastic Four #209. Part of an arc in which the team was working with the new heroes to stop the rise of the Sphinx by the Sicging Galactus himself on the new god, Red hass to hurry a robot companion for the team using XandAran technology to provide a distance access to the Paxter systems computer while searching for Galactus in space.
But what distinguishes it in part from the origins Which – which The origin of comedy. In the same story, Reed explains that the design of his robot built in a hurry came from a story that spent months working with a moving studio for the universe in the universe. Fantastic Four Animation chain. As was the case with New Fantastic FourIn the pictorial stories, they also needed to replace Johnny, who notes that he was “outside the city” when the team signed contracts for this series. “Ah! New Fantastic Four From fear, children try to simulate it through self-dislocation-we have known the truth from the beginning!
The team uses Herbie to calculate their way to try to find Galactus, and deals with their work in the field of distance – but little knew that his new creation was a dark secret from the moment it was presented. in Fantastic Four #217 It was revealed that Herbie is an unintended coat, after the living robot was taken by Dr. Sun Sara. Sun was hidden inside computer systems in Xandar, and the Reed’s development for Herbie was used to transfer consciousness and may try to take advantage of the SPHINX power for itself. After liberating Blastaar from the negative area to try to assassinate the team, Sun/Herbie reveals himself using the security systems in Baxter Building to Sue and Johnny prison, while using Herbie’s arms systems to not be disrupted Reed and Ben. Although Sun is transferring himself from Herby’s body to try to seize computer systems in the Paxter building completely, Herby decides to sacrifice himself as soon as he was released from Sun’s control, and shooting the computer system while the sun was still trapped in it, and destroys, himself, himself, himself And the sun in this process.
Two years later, Red rebuild Hirby to serve as a crane for his son and son, Franklin, monitors the development of the prosperous forces of a strong child … only in order to fluctuate in Franklin’s capabilities to destroy the re -robot immediately. From there, Herbie’s comic history fades to the background: Red will not develop just a unique herb, but it is a full set of third -generation robots that will act as a maintenance of Herbi Robot maintenance once again as Franklin, and eventually the Valeria cliff, appears irregularly from During the comedy until Valeria finally decided to remove a inhibitory chip that connects the nest to serve the Richards family, which leads to going to its own path and participating in the end with the robot- the group of rights known as the Army of AI.
It wraps its circulating history alike Fantastic Four Caricatures and team modifications, Hirby continued prosperity outside the pages of Marvel books also – appeared in many animation series Marvel Beyond New Fantastic FourAnd though The first steps His first major cinematic appearance will appear to be removed for a short period of time during a deleted scene in 2005 Fantastic Four film. At the present time, you can even see it in the famous shooting championship in Netease The marvel of competitors– It is not a playable character, unfortunately, but a goal accompanying the New York map in New York, was presented along with the addition of Suid Ward to the list in January 2025.
