TMNT and Fantastic 4

I was watching the first Fantastic 4 movie and noticed a lot of similarities between these two foursome teams.
Ben Grimm/The Thing = Raphael
Johnny Storm/Human Torch = Michaelangelo
Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic = Donatello
Sue Storm (Richards)/Invisible Woman = Leonardo
I know Mr. Fantastic is the leader, but he just has so many similar qualities to Donatello, and Invisible Woman is very straight-laced and serious stuff, like Leo. The Thing is a nice guy, but also a loyal protector and kind of the tough guy of the group, like Raph. And The Human Torch is always making jokes and egging Thing on, like what Mike does with Raph.
Some of you will probably disagree with my logic, like you may think Human Torch is more of Raph and Thing is more of Mike and Mr. Fantastic is more Leo and whatnot, but I stand by my logic.
If Raph and Mikey were arguing and it got heated and looked like it would turn into a fist fight, who would you imagine coming in to break up the fight, Leo or Don? Of course, Leo. In the Fantastic 4 movie, Thing and Human Torch fight and who comes in to break it up, Invisible Woman. Mr. Fantastic is a leader who is kinda distant from the others, like he works out his plans without being near the others while the others are either fighting or trying to stop the fight. Mr. Fantastic is kind of a pushover. The more I thought about it, The Fantastic 4 seemed kinda like how the Ninja Turtles would be if Donatello were the leader. When Don was the leader in the OT episode, Take Me To Your Leader, he calculated for a long time before coming to a decision about what to do, which is how Mr. Fantastic works as a leader, and Invisible Woman just follows orders and doesn't question them, which is something Leo would do if he weren't leader, and The Thing sometimes questions what the leader's plans are, but in the end does as he's told, like Raph. Don would be a leader, Raph and Mike would argue and Leo would be the straight-lace one who always follows orders and makes the others look bad sometimes and breaks up the fights between Raph and Mike.

Anybody agree or have something to say about it?
