Only comic fans may know that he and the Invisible Woman both moved over to the Avengers in Fantastic Four They effectively retired from The FF, but their stint on the Avengers was brief. They were part of the team between Avengers , and Reed ultimately balked at the chance to make one of the best Avengers rosters ever when his leadership style clashed with Captain America. The real-world reason, as mentioned by writer-artist Walter Simonson in " Modern Masters Volume 8: Walter Simonson ," was that he found out he could not use the characters in the Avengers as he planned, leading to a quick exit.
Several variants of Mr. Fantastic exist in the Marvel multiverse, with some of the best variants coming from the What If..? One of the most significant variations on Reed Richards came from the Negative Zone. He was secretly replaced by a double who later revealed themselves to be Brute, a hulking purple figure. Doctor Doom has committed numerous heinous acts against The Fantastic Four over the years. But he and Reed Richards maintain grudging respect for one another that resulted in the very unlikely act of Reed becoming Doom's best man at his recent wedding.
It was a nice gesture and an opportunity for the old opponents to perhaps bury the hatchet for once, but the wedding collapsed into chaos when it was revealed that Johnny Storm had a prior relationship with Lady Victorious, Doom's fiancee. Reed Richards' ability to make hard decisions, along with his superior intellect, led to his joining The Illuminati.
Two years later, the Fantastic Four are still recognized as heroes and celebrities, but the scientific community no longer sees Reed as a "serious scientist". While he and Sue were getting ready for their wedding, a silver object entered the atmosphere of the Earth, creating huge craters around the world; he had been studying it in secret, and discovered that all the strange events had been caused by energy cosmic, similar to the one that gave him powers.
To avoid further anomalies, General Hager appointed him to contain the imminent threat without telling Sue. During the marriage ceremony, the silver object discovered he was tracked by both the U.
This object was later revealed to be the Silver Surfer , a powerful cosmic being and the herald of Galactus , a cosmical entity that fed on entire worlds. Due to the fact that Sue wanted to raise a kids was no longer comfortable being a superhero, Reed proposed her to quit the Fantastic Four after capturing the alien.
Things became more awry when the team failed to capture the Surfer in London and by discovering that their old enemy, Victor Von Doom, revived due to the Surfer's arrival. Hager forced them to work with Doom and defeat the alien. The second trial gave positive results, the Surfer was captured in the Black Forest thanks to the tachyon pulse generator Reed developed, a device that separated the cosmical entity from his source of power the board however, the Fantastic Four found out that the Silver Surfer was not the real enemy, but that his master Galactus was, who was on his way to Earth to consume the planet.
When Dr. Doom betrayed the U. By working together, the heroes and the Surfer defeated Dr. Doom and returned the surfboard to the Surfer. Shortly afterwards, as Galactus was about to consume the planet, the Surfer sacrifices himself to destroy his former master once and for all.
Following their victory, Reed and Susan marry in Japan the next day just in time before they go with Johnny and Ben face another threat in the world.
Nathaniel was a scientific genius, and Reed inherited a similar level of intellect and interests. A child prodigy with special skills in mathematics, physics and mechanics, which allowed him to win multiple science awards locally, nationally and internationally.
Reed was taking college-level courses when he was By the age of 20, he had several degrees in the sciences under his belt. During his time there, he developed a rivalry with Victor and a romantic relationship with Sue. The relationship lasted a long time with her; until Sue decided to end it, since she wanted to share an apartment and Reed didn't know how to react to this, since according to him they didn't consider "the variables" of sharing a place to live.
At some point, he met Benjamin Grimm , a test pilot with multiple advanced degrees in engineering, a former football star in high school, and his eventual lifelong friend. Despite their being from radically different backgrounds, Richards described to Grimm his dream of proving that cosmic clouds provoked evolution; sharing his dream with his new friend, Grimm jokingly volunteered to pilot the spacecraft that would take them to outer space.
Reed is a genius, yet timid physicist, who is convinced that evolution is triggered by clouds of cosmic energy in space, and has calculated that one of these clouds is soon going to pass near Earth. Reed has always reached for the stars and would do anything to fund his lifelong dream of an experimental space mission.
But one miscalculation turned into a tragedy, as they got hit by cosmic energy, therefore; bodies changed, especially Ben. Back on Earth, everything seemed normal until at the dinner after Ben left, Sue turned invisible and knocked over a bottle of wine. The government denied the flight into space so Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny decided to sneak onto the ship and they took the ship into outer space. Reed miscalculated and forgot the abnormality of the radiation from the cosmic radiation.
The rays destroyed the ship and they crash-landed back on earth. After the crash Reed found out that he could stretch his body like elastic at will. Reed adopts the name Mr. Fantastic and convinces the four of them to use their powers for good. Fantastic was created and developed by the writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby. Many of the funniest scenes in Fantastic Four history have involved Mr.
Issue 13 had the Thing use his might to squeeze Mr. Fantastic into a small tube. FF 42 even surpassed the last scene, as here the Thing squeezed Mr. Fantastic like an accordian and then put him in a jar and sealed the top. Issue gave Mr.
Fantastic a chance to have some fun, as he used a vacuum cleaner to defeat the Sandman. Reed's intellect can often make him so focused on a problem that he forgets his friends and family or will sometimes make half-cocked decisions that aren't the best option. His focus on facts and logic can cause disagreements with Sue and his colleagues in the superhero community.
Luckily, Reed has grown to the point of knowing when to stop and what lines to not cross. He's a devoted father and family man, caring as much about his children and wife as he does science.
Reed started to invent equipment for the Fantastic Four including their superhero costumes, and multiple models of the the Fantasticar. Doctor Doom's hatred of Reed would make the group battle him many times and he would become the team's greatest adversary. After a long time Reed and Sue finally married and had a son named Franklin Richards.
Franklin was born with powers that were unimaginable, leading to him being considered as one of the strongest beings ever. She filed for divorce, but they would reconcile soon afterward. However, their marital separation was quite bitter. It began at the end of Fantastic Four and did not conclude until the end of Fantastic Four Hence, the separation lasted for 19 months and during this time Medusa replaced Sue on the team. A huge debate erupted in the Fantastic Four Fan Page of issue One fan even called for Sue to be killed.
It appeared as if most of the fans sided with Reed regarding the marital separation and who was to blame the most. Reed was then placed on trial by an intergalactic court, made up of the survivors of Galactus. They accused Reed of sparing Galactus' life, a criminal act in their minds.
After an extensive trial, Reed was acquitted at the last moment by Eternity , who testified that Galactus is an essential part of the cosmos. The match between both Mr. Fantastics dragged on for a while, and Reed pointed out that they would never defeat each other due to their equal powers. Johnny was attending Empire State University when a number of old Fantastic Four baddies - Paibok - attacked, and in an attempt to send them back, went supernova.
This caused ire. Johnny flew off, guilt-ridden but too cocky to give himself, and crashed with he rest of the FF. Seeking to bring him to justice, the former FF replacement team. In reality, Reed has been transported thousands of years into an alternate past timeline known as the Hyborean Age.
The Fantastic Four and many Marvel heroes sacrificed themselves to defeat Onslaught. The remaining heroes thought that their friends had died, but in actuality Franklin Richards had hid them in a pocket universe which he had created. Reed and the others lived on a Counter Earth , unaware of their original pasts, only to slowly piece it all together again.
Soon after, all reality was restored, but the Fantastic Four had lost their home. Reed would later become a member of the Illuminati and would not tell Sue about it. The group went on several clandestine missions together, and during one clashed with the Skrulls Empire. Reed believed that the Skrulls experimenting on him while he was captured was what allowed their shapeshifting powers to increase tenfold.
The Fantastic Four were targeted by a new entity calling himself, and then found thsemvles propelled through multiple alternate. Ben was granted the ability to change back to human and his thing form as he pleased, which made reed happy. Later an alien known as Zius developed a cloaking device to hide worlds from the hunger of Galactus.
Galactus wanted to take Sue, in order to make the device useless. In order to protect her, Reed built a device to swap the power of Sue and Johnny. Johnny was taken by Galactus until he was rescued with the help of Quasar. When Reed activated the device to switch the powers back, the remaining Power Cosmic in Johnny overloaded it, and all four members lost their powers. Their powers went across the city, temporarily inhabiting the bodies of civilians.
The cosmic rays which gave the group their powers made it so that anyone who were accidentally given The Four's powers would not have them long. Reed developed gloves that would bring their powers back to them. He attempted to trick Ben by giving him a fake glove.
Reed planned to take the powers of the Thing for himself, and cure Ben once and for all, believing the accident to have been his fault. Ben saw through this and fought with Reed long enough to take back his own power and burden. During the Civil War , Reed worked with Iron Man on the pro-registration side and was one of the higher ranking individuals. The choices he made during Civil War would cause a rift between him and Sue, especially when he unleashed a clone Thor , killing Goliath.
It was later revealed that one of the reasons Reed sided with the Super-Human Registration Act was because of his uncle. His uncle had picked a fight against the American Government and was imprisoned, ruining his career, reputation and ability to find work. He believed his Uncle was wrong for picking a fight that he could not win, which led Reed to not go against the Registration Act.
The other reason Richards joined the act was related to a mathematical equation he had been working on. In that equation he used theories to surmise that at the current path humanity was heading in, it would be a matter of time before they all destroyed themselves. He hid the knowledge from his family, and it wasn't until Johnny decided to visit with his brother in law in secret, that this information came to light.
He enlisted the help of the Mad Thinker to check his work. The Mad Thinker theorized that the plan was flawed because he didn't include a person's decision, hence an improbable variable. The Mad Thinker's theory was proven when Sue made herself known. She had been there the whole time, and finally knew why Reed wanted the Registration Act to exist.
Angry, she stormed off leaving Reed with the Mad Thinker. However, Sue's feelings altered when Reed literally took a bullet to protect her from Taskmasker during a massive clash between the heroes. In an effort to reconcile and fix the emotional strain their marriage had endured during the Civil War they decided to take a leave of absence.
In their place, Storm and the Black Panther would take over. He took Sue to one of the moons of Saturn to try and rekindle their love, as well as give her their first true honeymoon, since they never had one. While there Reed discovered a strange object and teleported back to Earth in order to gain information on it. Unbeknownst to him, the Frightful Four commandeered the ship with Sue still within and kidnapped her.
This was another plot to destroy the Fantastic Four. Naturally, Reed was able to outsmart the Wizard once again and help save his wife. In the midst of the Civil War Reed learns from a conversation with Mastermind Excello that Hulk is not where the Illuminati intended and he goes on to tell Iron Man what has happened, he mentions that Hulk has friends and "may God help us if they find him before we do".
This plan backfired and Hulk became stronger than ever and returned to Earth to get his vengeance on Reed and the Illumanti. With the help of Sue Storm and the new Fantastic Four, Reed tried to stop the Hulk by creating a hologram of the Sentry to calm the Hulk down, the Hulk knows this isn't the real Sentry and destroys the machine, he goes on the defeat Johnny, Ben and Sue.
The plan failed and led to the Fantastic Four's defeat and Reed's capture. Reed defeats Tony, but is stopped from killing him when Hulk states that he came for "Justice not murder. Hulk is eventually stopped and locked up three miles inside the earth's crust. Prior to the events of the Skrull Secret Invasion , the Illuminati conveyed a meeting to investigate the corpse of a Skrull impersonating Elektra.
It wasn't until Black Bolt voiced his opinion that things weren't looking good for them. Black Bolt then turned into a Skrull and attacked the Illuminati to retrieve the dead Skrull.
After it was killed by Namor , the Illuminati separated, perhaps for the last time, because any one of them could also be a Skrull and therefore they could trust no one from now on.
In his laboratory, Reed and Hank Pym were doing an autopsy together on the dead Skrull to find out why the Skrulls had become undetectable. When Reed finally found out, Hank shot him from behind and revealed himself to be a Skrull. It was revealed that a clone of Reed Richards was possibly the reason for how the Skrulls knew how to be undetected.
Reed is first shown in a room meeting with the other members of the Illuminati. The members are discussing their escape from a Skrull ship, as well as if they could be hiding undetected. Once they find their powers seem to be failing, tempers begin to flair and it is revealed that the Charles Xavier in the room is a Super-Skrull and the rest of of the illuminati are just clones.
The clone of Reed Richards is viewed by one of the Skrull scientists, by the name of Dro'ge , as having the key in his mind for what they wish to acquire. A second clone is subjected to physical and mental torture, which fails. A third clone is then placed into a recreation of his bedroom. The Skrulls then manipulate this Reed by looking like his loved ones, and manage to get him to write down some kind of equation that is hinted at being the answer to how they remain undetected.
Reed was later found being torturously overstretched in a Skrull ship in orbit, and was rescued by S. D agent Abigail Brand , who later used the information to find out a way to discover who was a Skrull and who was not. He and agent Brand traveled to the Savage Land , where Richards fires an odd weapon, which revealed who were Skrulls among the heroes there. The Skrulls were defeated and the remaining heroes were gathered for the final battle against the Skrull empire at Central Park.
After the battle was over and the war was won, Reed returned home with Sue, finding the Baxter Building in shambles, but their family turning out to be alright. Trying to prevent the building from getting into the wrong hands, Reed blows it up.
A week after the Secret Invasion, Norman Osborn has taken control, and the rebuilding of the Baxter Building is near completion. While starting reconstruction on the building, Reed became sidetracked and started to develop a device called the Bridge.
The Bridge is a reality bending supercomputer Reed created for observing other earths and seeing how they solved similar problems that Earth has faced. The power fluctuation from the Bridge sends Sue, Ben, and Johnny through multiple strange realities. As Reed sees the alternate realities, he realizes that there is no way that the events of the Civil War could have played out peacefully. Telling Reed of what happened, Sue makes him promise to destroy the Bridge.
Reed Replies: "I'll take it apart piece by piece. Love Interests: Sue Storm. Enemies : Galactus, Doctor Doom and so much more. Reed Richards was born with incredible intelligence. Like most other comic characters, his mother died when he was very young. This left his father, who was also an intellect, to raise him.
