Notes

• Jamie Bell portrayed Ben Grimm in the 2015 film Fantastic Four. Evan Hannemann portrays Ben as a child.

Trivia

• Ben had Jewish roots.
• His birthday is erroneously listed as March 14, 1986 on his official record shown in the movie which cannot be accurate since he was shown to still be a child in the 2007 flashback.
