    Finally.... we have the Smartest Man Alive who stretches to new horizons (thanks to his ability to stretch his body like the DC hero Plastic Man), the founder and patriarch of the Fantastic Four (the progenitors of the Marvel Age of Heroes), and a legend in his own right...Dr. Reed Richards, a.k.a., Mister Fantastic! Now, the history of the Fantastic Four (Reed, Susan, Johnny, and Ben) has come full circle, and I have you to thank for that. As a fellow UA-camr said, your channel is straight up excellent!!!

      ​@@bigfootwalker5399the Maker is just Reed Richards but almost everything goes wrong. He has a lot of success, but defines himself in failures more often than not. The reason why most Reed would run circles over him is because they see a brighter tomorrow even if things look bad (Dr.Doom of 6160)

    ( Knowing how comic books treat relationships Even long-term ones and I can guarantee you Marvel Fans would be mad if they ever broke That family up And ended that marriage )
    But of course Reed and Susan have had their arguments and disagreements and bad times. But their marriage has lasted

    Can I ask a question.
    When Walt Simonson was writing Fantastic Four, he made Reed Richards against the Superhero registration act.
    But When Mark Millar wrote Civil War he made Reed supports Tony’s Superhero registration Act. Which started Conflict between him and Sue.
    Is it in character or out of character for Reed supporting the superhero registration act?

      Everyone was written out of character during Civil War. J. Michael Strazinsky and Dwayne McDuffie were wrtiting FF during that period and had to go to absurd lenghts in order to reconcile Reed's actions during CW with their characterization (which was more on the tradicional good guy lane)

    I've always been fascinated by the original backstory. Reed and Ben were old enough to have been WW2 veterans after finishing college degrees. In 1961 this would mean they were aboiut 40, perhaps a touch younger if their war experience was late and short. There was no problem with them being physically active superheroes. In1963, Marvel decided there had to be an ice freezing story for Steve Rogers (who would otherwise have been the same age or a touch younger) becaause a 40 year old superhero would be silly.

    If you have done it already and don't mind, could you please PLEASE DO THE *#UFOES**!!!* They're one of my favorite groups of villains in Marvel comics! Actually in all of comics! I love the Ufoes but they hardly get any attention, recognition, or just even talked about!
    No one hardly ever talks about them for some reason and it's a shame. They should be way more than what they are! They're literally the evil versions of the Fantastic Four. Ironclad is the Thing, Vector is Mr Fantastic, Vapor is The Invisible Woman, and X-ray is the Human Torch.
    They're in my opinion stronger than the FF. Reed just stretches, but Vector can literally use telekinesis to push or pull stuff to him and he can do other stuff like create shields and forcefields and fly.
    X-ray is intangible and can only basically be hurt by certain types of metals, and if his powers are siphoned the way. He can also fly, fire an sort of radiation that you can name as a projectile towards opponents, and can also turn invisible.
    Vapor can turn her body into any form of gas no matter what it is! That's as long as she knows about it or what it is anyway.
    And Ironclad, well Ironclad isn't as strong as Thing is. But the difference is that Ironclad's body is more durable than the Things body is. He can take a lot more of a beating then the Thing can.
    But it would really awesome, amazing, and appreciated if you could and would do the Ufoes!!!

      @@trexadvent4726 that’s what you’d think right?! I don’t understand why they’re not FF villains, it’s crazy to me. The literally have all the makings to be FF villains. They’re all strong, smart, there’s a brother and sister on the team, they literally did the exact same thing that the FF did to gain their powers, and they’re the type of villains that it would take more than just brute strength to defeat. I honestly think that they weren’t made to be FF villains is due to the fact that the creators and subsequently other people who worked on the Ufoes probably thought that they were too strong for the FF and put them on the Hulk’s level. But that’s why think that they’d make perfect FF villains because they’re so strong! And like I said earlier it wouldn’t be a straight fist fight. The FF would have to find another way to beat them. And they probably won’t be heres to hoping that the Ufoes will get more love eventually down the road or something… hopefully🤞🏾!!! Lol

    For me, Reed's canonical timeline does No way include the pathetic garbage that Marvel is trying to push nowadays! Where he has a "genius Sister" plus he loved another "genius girlfriend" besides Sue Richard! The previous Sue's arc & characteristics is one of my favourite. But, they're nowadays trying to tarnish it with narcissistic idiocy!
    That's the reason I stopped buying & reading the "political" trash Marvel has been puking out past few years!
    I want to be entertained in Fictional Fantasy NOT "PREACHED" nor forced to read about "sex & gender"! Plus "colour-washing with gender-bending every legendary Male hero into a "narcissistic Female"!
    I really like and always had favourite beloved previous REAL Female characters, with legendary status. Not these "political" smeared one-dimensional "Mary-Sues"!😨👈
