in Fantastic practice #24 by Ryan North, Carlos Gómez, Jesus Aburtov and Joe Caramagna The team confronts the only living pilot of the pryonic-sized ships they’ve been investigating. The alien, who calls herself Zrixa, insists on using Reid’s particle accelerator to resume her journey, and eventually does so by force.
The altercation gives Val and Sue enough time to make sense of the information from Zrixa’s people, revealing that the pilot killed their son and doomed their planet. In revenge, they sent countless bombs after her, but that’s not all. In a Superman-worthy moment, one family, billions of light years away, sent their child into the void of space for a chance to live.

The unsettling revelation that Zrixa’s people sent countless nuclear bombs in retaliation for the harm she caused doesn’t paint the best picture of their species, but revenge isn’t their only final, desperate act. In their last days, someone on a dying planet poured all of their love and wishes for the future into their child and sent her away into the unknown. This is the same dream that Kal-El’s family had when they sent him to Earth. On the surface, the young alien looks nothing like DC’s Superman, however They represent the same idea: hope.
Perhaps the most important takeaway is that in this child’s case, the family was right. The Fantastic Four are the perfect people to find her and, as Human Torch promises her, she will be loved. Just as Clark Kent found a home and family on Earth, the last child of this species has a chance to do the same. Her future is still uncertain, and being a survivor is a difficult and lonely burden even for Superman, but She has a chance at the life her family probably wanted for her. Fortunately, she lands with some of the greatest representatives of humanity.
The Fantastic Four are perfect ambassadors for Earth
In their many adventures, there is little the Fantastic Four have not encountered. They have dealt with several different alien species and are always keen to explore further and learn more. The people of Zrixa were an advanced race, but so little is known about them, in general, that almost everything will be a new discovery with the surviving child. The FF is equipped to handle it, or at least find a way forward, but it could be a long road ahead for all of them. For now, the Fantastic practice Stop Marvel’s Superman In their hands still save the last daughter and hope of a lost species.
