Marvel Promises Biggest Change To Fantastic Four Member Since 1961

Is it the Human Torch? That's what this Fantastic Four-related page grabbed from the new Marvel Previews suggests when it comes to a promise from Marvel that we will be getting the biggest change to a Fantastic Four member since the comic book debuted 60 years ago, in 1961. Previously, a "profound" change had been solicited, this seems to take it further.

What are the clues? Well, we have the upcoming wedding of Doctor Doom and Victorious. We have Human Torch and his own soulmate. We have the intervention of Skrulls and the reminder that Human Torch used to live with Lyja, the Skrull who impersonated Alica Masters. And today's Fantastic Four, which reveals that Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters' Skrull adopted daughter, N'Kalla, used to go and look at the seized body of Alicia Masters on the Skrull homeworld.

Here's what's coming, if you want to join the dots… it can't just be a new marriage, we've had those before in the Fantastic Four. What could it be?
