Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd heard of the Fantastic Four, but I didn't know who the individuals on the team were until recently. (And I'm pretty sure that it's not a permanent roster -- I know I've heard vague mentions of Spider-Man being a member at one point.)

From my medium-interest-in-comics viewpoint, that seems really unlikely. The Fantastic 4 were a group that got their powers at the same time in the same accident. Sue, her husband, her brother, and their friend. They may work with other people, but the four? Just them.
Maybe you're thinking of The Avengers?

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
I kind of want tos see Fantastic Four, but the trailer clip in which whats-his-name shouts "FLAME ON!" just makes me want to pee myself laughing.

Wikipedia agrees with me. (Mostly -- Spider-Man was in the New Fantastic Four, who were sort of a temporary replacement group for the main Four. But they also list members who shifted in and out of the core group for various reasons.)

Thrive to spite them
He's always said FLAME ON!! but it still makes me laugh.
I've known about the Fantastic Four for a long time. I watched all the super hero cartoons: FF, Super Friends, X Men, Spider man and his Amazing Friends (Iceman and Firestar), GI Joe, and Tarzan. And something with Plasticman.

But you'd heard of The X Men before their movie came out, yes?
I might have heard of them through the cartoon, but only through seeing it mentioned in the TV guide. The only comic-strip related cartoon I ever watched was the old Spiderman cartoon, and I did see some of the old George Reeves live-action Superman shows, as well as Lynda Carter in Wonder Woman and the 1960s Batman show. That's about it for my knowledge of comics, though.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
When my friends and I were playing Who Am I with characters, the default question to determine if the subject was in the Marvel Universe was "Have you met the Fantastic Four?"

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
I found this in the Highlander thread at TWoP:
Word has it, Adrian told some fans yesterday at a U.K. con that both Peter and Jim will be in the new HL movie. David A. shared excerpts from the original script he had written at the recent con in Australia. In it Duncan and Methos were in a sword fight to the death, but in the end they couldn't kill each other, because "they love one another" (his quote), and so they both walk away bloodied and weakened, but alive. Since he wrote that script for the movie production company that went belly up, and the HL rights have now reverted back to Panzer-Davis (which is a very good thing in my opinion), he now is in the process of rewriting this script (he is putting the finishing touches on it right now), because you cannot even plagiarize yourself (complicated legal stuff).
I don't know how true it is. At least the new HL movie can't be worse than Endgame. right?
