Iceman As A Member Of The FF In Fantastic Four #24

After a hologram call from mom by the bottom half of the page Franklin is shooting through New York's Washington Square Park on his way to the FF's unassuming 4 Yancy St. headquarters with Iceman.

Yeah, Iceman.

Turns out he and the FF got history.

"Hey, remember that time Iceman replaced the Human Torch as a member of the Fantastic Four? No?" Marvel's official solicitation copy asks. "Well, Johnny Storm sure remembers! And now it's time to let everybody else in on the secret of the Fantastic Four story we were never supposed to talk about!"

The story 'Cold Snap' may or may not be a direct prologue to October's Fantastic Four #25 by Slott and new series artist R.B. Silva which promises "New villains! New uniforms! And a new, major, permanent status quo change for Marvel's First Family," or in totality "a new era for the Fantastic Four!"

The one thing FF #25 doesn't promise is a line-up change, but they're pretty much standard issue for big status quo-altering stories these days, so we'll see if Bobby Drake's secret FF history has a longer tail than just September's issue and Franklin's association with the X-Men dives deeper than it has in the past.
