I immediately thought that a synergy they might have would be that, as Medusa was once a member of the Fantastic Four, while on the team she should trigger the AP gain from Mr Fantastic's yellow power when it triggers. But when I looked I saw that she was missing her FF team affiliation. So it made me think about all of the other affiliations as there have been more than a few member changes throughout the years for the world's most famous family. I went to wikipedia to refresh my memory on a few. It would seem that every single one appears to be missing the team affiliation: Medusa Luke Cage She-Hulk Ant-Man (Scott Lang) Storm Black Panther possibly Spiderman possibly Doctor Doom To the best of my knowledge none of them were simply 'one-offs'. The two questionable ones however would be spiderman and doctor doom as they joined the future foundation, which might technically be considered a different team. Spiderman I think did join briefly prior to the Future Foundation, but I believe that was a 'one-off' story. However the rest were all solid memebers at various times. What's up with that?

I'm confident it's a very intentional decision to limit the Fantastic Four affiliation to the core members, and it's one I agree with. Also worth mentioning, Spider-Man does have a FF tag.... on his 2 star version.

Very few characters require team affiliation, and as mentioned, Mr. F's is a pretty small perk anyways--the perfect kind of perk for a detail-oriented, exploratory player who likes to try out different combos, but easily ignored by 95% of the playerbase--which means adding a few characters to the Fantastic Four wouldn't hurt anyone at all.
