Blue Beetle isn't the child of villains, but his scarab is evil.
But it changed it's mind because of the awesome power of Jaime! (Er, I'm referring to the pre-New 52 Blue Beetle. The New 52 Blue Beetle is more unambiguously adhering to the Reach's evil overlord plans, at least for now.)
I loved Mark Waid's run on Fantastic Four. Any other good FF stories out there?

You mean aside from the original Kirby/Lee which redefined super hero comics in the sixties and were the benchmark for a decade?
Yes. I shall keep my eye out for the Essential collection or something since those should be fun to read.
Most of the John Byrne run from #232 to 295 (I'd recommend stopping after #277 when editorial interference kicked in) is considered a classic of the title as well.
Yeah, I liked the John Byrne run. Better actually than his Superman reboot.
It was one title where his "Back! Back to the way it was when first published, I say!" modus operandi REALLY suited the characters. He took them back to the emotional core of the Lee/Kirby days, with bonus smarts and agency for Sue.
And I still think his take on Doctor Doom was the definitive one.

His remake of Sue was definitely a high point not only for his run but for the character.
I really liked Sue! She seems like she's a pretty great strong female character for comics.

She didn't used to be. She was the wimpiest simp in the Marvel universe. But Byrne's remake of her was true to her roots and let her grow up and into her powers.
