Among the six fiercely independent men—Mr. Fantastic, Stark, Professor Charles, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, and Namor—Mr. Fantastic was vaguely regarded as the leader. Many of the Illuminati's operations were led by him, with the plans drawn up by him and the others assisting in carrying them out.
