Fantastic Four on Cartoon Network

The days of DC Comics dominating the air ways of Cartoon Network with the likes of Justice League Unlimited and Teen Titans are over and now it's Marvel's turn.

This Saturday (September 2nd) The Fantastic Four make their debut on the network at 8:00 pm (eastern time) with Episode 1 "Trial By Fire". Johnny is put on trial for crimes against the Kree Empire by Ronan the Accuser after destroying the latest in a line of Kree Sentries, alien robots that have been observing the FF. When Johnny chooses Reed as his lawyer, Ben and Susan take the stand in Johnny's defense. But defending Johnny's reckless behavior is tougher than they thought, especially when the accused is presumed guilty before the trial even starts.

Here is the official series synopsis on what we can look forward to seeing this season.

Four friends were exposed to Cosmic Rays during an ill fated trip into space, and their lives were changed forever. Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, Susan Storm and her brother Johnny all returned to Earth changed, each gifted with incredible powers. And the world was given its first family of super heroes.

The Fantastic Four are Mister Fantastic, the Invisible Woman, the Human Torch and the Thing; and while they have amazing powers, cool costumes, and a high tech headquarters and vehicles, they're more than just super heroes. They are explorers, adventurers, and most importantly, a family.

Their incredible powers are part of their every day life, and using them comes as natural to the FF as walking and talking are to us. They don't hide their identities, and everyone knows where they live. The FF will encounter aliens from another galaxy, travel to other dimensions, and even save the world… but they'll bicker and tease each other while they're doing it.

Their lives are filled with excitement, wondrous inventions, amazing worlds that boggle the imagination, fearsome enemies, incredible adventure, and laugh out loud FUN. And while Reed, Susan, Ben and Johnny are amazing individuals, when they come together as a team, they are truly fantastic.
