The Fantastic Four:Superhero Hype! got a hold of the first image of 'Dr. Doom', played by Julian McMahon, in the upcoming comic adaptation, The Fantastic Four.

The comic book adaptation, directed by Tim Story, features Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic (Ioan Gruffudd), who can elongate his body; Susan Storm/Invisible Woman (Jessica Alba), who not only can become invisible at will but can render other objects invisible; Johnny Storm/Human Torch (Chris Evans), who can shoot fire from his finger tips and bend flame; and Ben Grimm/The Thing (Michael Chiklis), a hideously misshapen monster with superhuman strength.

The film stars Michael Chiklis, Iaon Gruffudd, Chris Evans, Jessica Alba and Julian McMahon.

When an experimental space voyage goes awry, four people are changed by cosmic rays. Reed Richards, inventor and leader of the group gains the ability to stretch his body, and takes the name, Mr. Fantastic. His girlfriend, Sue Storm, gains the ability to turn invisible and create force fields, becoming the Invisible Girl. Her little brother Johnny Storm gains the ability to control fire, including covering his own body with flame, like a Human Torch. Pilot Ben Grimm is turned into a super-strong rocky Thing. Together, they use their unique powers to explore the strange aspects of the world, and to foil the evil plans by the likes of Doctor Doom, which is who the villain of this film will be. Even as they deal with the various threats that arise to threaten Earth's peace, the Four must also deal with the pressures of fame as the world's most famous superheroes, and the realities of being a super-powered family.
