In a recent review of Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl for NR, S.T. Karnick finds deep biblical allusions and allegorical meaning:
“Shark Boy and Lava Girl turn out really to be composed of water and light, respectively.
This is significant because the first of these is a biblical symbol of the Holy Spirit, and the second a biblical name for Jesus Christ. In addition, Lava Girl is, of course, made of rock, another name by which Jesus Christ is known. Also, fire is a traditional symbol of manifestations of the Holy Spirit.”
I bring this up only to point out the obvious biblical allusions in Fantastic Four. The Thing is made out of rock. The Human Torch, fire.
Jesus is everywhere, people.
