What if the Fantastic Four got different powers?

Earth-Fantastic Four: Alternate Powers (Big Brain/Dragonfly/Ultra-Woman/Mandroid)

(What If I#6) - When four people piloted a starship into space, they were exposed to cosmic rays that mutated them. Their personality traits affected the ways in which they were mutated: Ben Grimm, who had always loved flying, became Dragonfly; Reed Richards, dominated by his vast intellect, became Big Brain; Johnny Storm, fascinated by things mechanical, became Mandroid; and Sue Storm, who pliable personality allowed her to adapt to mold herself to fit with her more dominating friends, became the elastic Ultra-Woman. They agreed to use their powers for the benefit of humanity, becoming the Fantastic Four. The Four encountered and triumphed over the Mole Man, the Skrulls, the Miracle Man, and Namor, much like their Earth-616 counterparts.

Years ago I had seen an interview with Stan Lee on television. He said the powers of the original Fantastic Four were based on the personalities of the characters he created and/or their desires.

Reed Richards was a Scientist who's mind was always in multiple places at once and he worked on many things at once, hence he got the stretching powers to support his already unique abilities.

Susan Storm-Richards was originally a very shy girl - hence invisibility.

Johnny Storm was a hothead - hence fire powers.

Ben Grimm projected a rock hard personality hence he because what he projected.

I just always felt that was incredibly creative.
