With The Fantastic Four: First Steps no in theaters, acclaimed artist Steven Richter decided to honor Marvel’s First Family in the most crazy way possible… by building them up just to completely tear them down.
Each bust is crafted from materials reflecting the heroes’ powers: Mr. Fantastic from stretchy rubber bands, The Thing from actual stone, The Human Torch from matchsticks, and a ghostly, translucent Invisible Woman.
The result was a breathtaking showcase of skill and creativity… until Richter, channeling his inner comic book villain, destroyed them all himself. No Doctor Doom, no cosmic rays, just one man turning his own incredible creations to rubble.
