I have 002 Invisible Woman and 017 Mr. Fantastic on my starting force and 049 The Thing in my sideline.

At the beginning of the game, I use 002 Invisible Woman’s Form the New Fantastic Four to replace 017 Mr. Fantastic with 049 The Thing. Would I then be able to use 049 The Thing’s trait to generate Buzz and Chuck bystanders?

No. When the "beginning of game" trigger occurs, all applicable effects in play all trigger and then resolve in the order of the active player's choosing. The Thing's effect was not in play when the "beginning of game" trigger was checked, so his effect will not trigger or resolve.
