The Fantastic Four gained superpowers after exposure to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to outer space, are: Mr. Fantastic (Reed Richards), a scientific genius and the leader of the group, who can stretch his body into incredible lengths and shapes; the Invisible Woman (Susan "Sue" Storm), who eventually married Reed, who can render herself invisible and later project powerful force fields; the Human Torch (Johnny Storm), Sue's younger brother, who can generate flames, surround himself with them and fly; and the monstrous Thing (Ben Grimm), their grumpy but benevolent friend, a former college football star and Reed's college roommate as well as a good pilot, who possesses superhuman strength and endurance due to the nature of his stone-like flesh.

Sooo how does this challenge relate to the FF?? Well, it doesn't really, When I came up with the challenge name, I just thought the it sounded cool, but much like the FF, this challenge has many different attributes and aspects that make up the 'whole'.

Here's how the challenge will work. First, announce that you are starting the challenge by posting a note, include the date in your post. From that point you will have 2 days to complete this challenge. When you are done with the challenge announce that you are done by posting a note, include the date in your post also. Now I realize that I can't verify the exact time one started and stopped the challenge or the 'fudging' on the dates when one actually logs the requirements, so let's use the honor system.

There are only 4 requirements to log the challenge, what are they?? Thought you'd never ask!!

  • You MUST find & log 4 caches. No previously found caches count and ALL must be of a different caching icon (Traditional, Multi, Event, Virtual...etc).
  • You MUST find & log 4 Benchmarks. These may be any kind of benchmarks (Discs, Landmarks, Spikes, etc...).
  • You MUST find & log 4 Trackables. This doesn't mean "Discover" them, it means you have to 'grab' them and move them or still possess them at the time of the challenge conclusion. For this challenge, vehicle bugs, hats, t-shirts, anything that you can't physically 'grab' and move, do not count.

Now comes the REAL hard part!!

  • You MUST find and log ALL the above requirements in 4 DIFFERENT states in 2 days or less!!
