Marvel’s Impossible Man Returns: Shocking New Variant Covers Unveiled

In an unexpected turn of events, the enigmatic character known as The Impossible Man makes his appearance. Originating from the comic series Fantastic Four in issue #11 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby back in 1963, this quirky extraterrestrial from Poppup has been a constant puzzle for the Fantastic Four ever since. This green-skinned alien with the ability to transform its shape was introduced in one of the most peculiar issues within the first dozen episodes of the series. Here, our superheroes – Reed Richards (Mister Fantastic), Sue Storm (Invisible Girl), Johnny Storm (Human Torch), and Ben Grimm (Thing) – faced adversaries ranging from Mole Man’s monstrous army to the strange alien Kurrgo from Planet X, the sinister magician Miracle Man, and yet another green-skinned shape-shifting race: the Skrulls.

Originating on the perilous planet Poppup, its inhabitants, the Poppupians, developed an extraordinary ability: instantaneous shape-shifting for survival purposes. However, when the enigmatic Impossible Man discovered his powers made him the mightiest being on Earth, chaos ensued that not even the Fantastic Four could contain – until Mr. Fantastic found a solution. By ignoring the Impossible Man, they managed to drive him away from Earth due to his boredom with being overlooked.

You can’t help but notice Marvel’s special “Impossible!” variant cover series that will be gracing issues of Fantastic Four, Avengers, Incredible Hulk, Amazing Spider-Man, and many others in May.
