Based on the cover art for the upcoming comic #1, many fans speculated that Reed Richards was fighting the classic X-Men member, Beast, due to the foe's blue, furry, and hulking appearance.
However, the article clarifies that this is incorrect. The creature is actually the "Hulkverine," a character who first appeared in a 2023 Incredible Hulk comic. The Hulkverine is a monstrous clone created from the combined DNA of the Hulk and Wolverine.
The comic is set in Marvel's new, rebooted "Ultimate" universe (Earth-6160), which means this is a new version of the Hulkverine, likely serving as an early, formidable threat for this new iteration of the Fantastic Four to face in their debut.
