The F-Men were a pastiche of X-Men who first appeared in E-Man #2 of First Comics in 1982. The F-Men were also recreated independently in August 2005 by a user on DeviantArt (pachunka). They are currently published as a bi-monthly webcomic. These have also spawned 5 spin-off F-men comics created by fans.

Original F-men Story
The F-Men were all a parody of the Marvel Comics characters who were given superpowers by Ford Fairmont, the blind CEO of Fairview Sunglasses who wished to create the superhero characters into reality. He kidnapped various people around New York City and gave them the powers and personality of The F-Men. After intervention by E-Man and W.I.M.P. (Who published The F-Men comics), all was returned to normal.

The F-men(2005)
The source of the F-men's powers is unknown. Whether they really have super-powers is unclear. Professor F leads the team, and sends his various heroes to fight super villains as required. The Artist has used polls on DeviantArt to allow his fans dictate plot development, which has resulted in an interactive story-telling experience. Stories parodied modern society(CNN, Hurricane Katrina) and fandom.
