Marvel’s big Fantastic Four revealneglected to announce the actor behind one extra character – who you might have missed at first glance.
In the left corner of Marvel’s Fantastic Four Valentine’s Day card announcement (which is a wild sentence in and of itself), is a robot drinking out of a mug. But that’s not just any old robot, that’s Fantastic Four character H.E.R.B.I.E.
H.E.R.B.I.E first appeared in the animated series The New Fantastic Four, which aired in 1978. NBC was unable to secure The Human Torch due to a legal dispute with Universal Studios, which was trying to get a solo spin-off movie off the ground. According to lore, it was Stan Lee who pitched the idea for a robot sidekick as a replacement. Fred Welker, who has voiced Fred in the Scooby Doo franchise since 1969, provided the voice for H.E.R.B.I.E. The robot would then go on to appear in the Fantastic Four comics.
