Reed Richards from the Ultimate universe turned out far different than his counterpart in the core version we all know and love. After Magneto went crazy during Ultimatum, killing off over a million people, Reed decides to fake his death. Not only that, but he also kills his parents and then goes thousands of years into the future to live. He comes...
No, Dr. Doom isn't the only one who's ruled Latveria. After a climactic battle between the pair, in which Doom was sent to hell thanks to the Haazareth Three, Reed was forced into leadership. Not only that, but Doom had also managed to scar Reed in a very similar way as himself. He was quite unlike the despot, however, going out of his way to try t...
This is one of those strange comic ideas that just works beautifully. The idea that multiple Reed's from across different realities would team up together is cool enough, but the fact all three also hold their realities Infinity Gauntlet is even cooler. The amount of destruction three gauntlets could bring is astounding. Add in Reed's intellect and...
Reed's inventions seem to be the sole source of the Fantastic Four's income, a surprise, considering how beloved Johnny Storm is by the media. You'd think he'd be able to pull some of that social media money. That's not the case though, and Reed is seemingly the breadwinner of the whole team. This is on full display when they went bankrupt in a 196...
When you think of Reed's powers, you picture it as it is above, body stretching like a rubber band. It's part of the reason those who don't read Fantastic Four comics believe he's rather lame. The ability to stretch isn't that great of a power, after all. His power goes beyond that, however, giving him the ability to alter his appearance, making hi...
While Reed can seem callous and aloof at times due to his science-driven mind, his greatest creation is his children.

He even took an inter-dimensional vacation with his entire family, giving them needed time off from the world. RELATE...
Reed's actions no longer coincided with his values around the time of Civil War, as he created a Thor Clone and a Negative Zone prison as a member of the pro-registration act. That was only the start of his downward spiral, however, as he went on to be compliant in sending Hulk to space as a member of the Illuminati. It was an act that backfired ro...
This, right here, is all the proof you need of Reed's genius. While many kids are enjoying their first years of college, getting to live their lives out before responsibility comes knocking, Reed was collecting degrees like they were Pokémon. These weren't from easy-ride colleges either, snatching one from CalTech, M.I.T, Harvard, and Vienna. The d...
While Franklin was still rather young, both Sue and Reed stepped away from the Fantastic Four to live a normal life and be better parents. As is this case with heroes, this didn't last long, the pair needing the Avengers help to stop a demonic invasion during the Inferno event. With how short-handed the Avengers were, they offered membership to Ree...
Now, he didn't do this directly. He'd been planning on bringing Doom back from hell, placing him in an other-dimensional prison where he could never escape. Considering hell seemed to be doing just fine at holding Doom, it didn't really make much sense to bring him back, but regardless, Reed always thinks he knows best. His attempts backfired after...
