The comic book history of The Mole Man – the first villain The Fantastic Four ever faced

The Mole Man.

In addition to the titular super-team, there is also an array of villains that will appear in the new MCU movie. In The Fantastic Four: First Steps, you’ve got the massive, planet-eating Galactus (Ralph Ineson), as well as his herald, the shiny Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). But in addition to these main baddies, there’s also at least one more bad guy you might want to know about: The Mole Man, played by Paul Walter Hauser.

Also known as Harvey Elder, Mole Man is the first villain the FF ever faced in the comics, and based on the info we have on the new movie, it seems like he’ll be the first villain they face in the MCU, as well. That said, with multiple versions of Mole Man in the comics and a vastly different one on screen, let’s dig into what we know about the villain.
