Natasha Lyonne's criminally underused Fantastic Four character is a wholesome tribute to Marvel legend Jack Kirby

Fantastic Four First Steps ending.

Natasha Lyonne's character in Fantastic Four may not be lifted straight from the comics, but her name is a wholesome tribute to someone very close to a Marvel Comics legend.

In The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Lyonne plays Rachel Rozman, an elementary school teacher and Ben's love interest. In the comics, Ben has a romantic relationship with a teacher called Debbie Green, so the character's name was changed for the movie. However, fans have pointed out that her big-screen counterpart could have been named after a real-life figure: comic book artist Jack Kirby's wife Rosalind "Roz" Goldstein.
