Impossible Man Wreaks Havoc Across the Marvel Universe in New Variant Covers

Marvel Comics continues to celebrate the Fantastic Four this year with all-new Variant Cover programs! Following recent cover collections focused on the Thing, Human Torch, and Invisible Woman, a legendary Fantastic Four supervillain hogs the spotlight this May—the IMPOSSIBLE MAN! The impish prankster will star in 10 variant covers split into two categories: IMPOSSIBLE! VARIANT COVERS and IMPOSSIBLE POP-UP VARIANT COVERS.

In the IMPOSSIBLE! VARIANT COVERS, see surprising takes on classic Marvel imagery as Impossible Man unleashes his unique brand of chaos on Marvel history. The covers pay homage to John Byrne's UNCANNY X-MEN (1963) #136, Todd McFarlane's AMAZING SPIDER-MAN (1963) #300, and Adi Granov's INVINCIBLE IRON MAN (2004) #1 covers as well as John Romita Jr.'s Wonder Man pinup from MARVEL ILLUSTRATED – THE SWIMSUIT ISSUE and Jim Lee's depiction of Psylocke from an iconic '90s X-Men trading card.

Then, the Popuppian from the planet Poppup lives up to his species’ name in IMPOSSIBLE POP-UP VARIANT COVERS, which sees the Impossible Man take over the respective issue’s main cover.

This latest variant cover program arrives to celebrate the history of the Fantastic Four during a monumental year for Marvel’s First Family. In addition to the release of Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated The Fantastic Four: First Steps film on July 25, the Fantastic Four are undergoing major developments in ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM, a new comic event that kicked off last month, that will lead into an all-new era by writer Ryan North and artist Humberto Ramos in FANTASTIC FOUR (2025) #1 this July.
