Alicia Reiss Masters is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby, she first appeared in The Fantastic Four #8 (November 1962).[1] She is a supporting character to the superheroes the Fantastic Four and Silver Surfer.

Alicia Masters is a blind sculptor.[2] She is able to create incredibly lifelike representations of real people by touch and memory alone; her sculptures of the Fantastic Four and other superheroes are frequently depicted.[3] A caring, sensitive character,[4] she has been a romantic interest, confidante, and eventual wife of The Thing, a member of the Fantastic Four who is frequently ashamed of his monstrous appearance. She has also helped explain human life and emotion to the alien Silver Surfer.

Actress Kat Green played her in the unreleased The Fantastic Four film from 1994, and then Kerry Washington portrayed her in the 2005 film Fantastic Four and the 2007 sequel Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
