“I learned that the difference between living and dying is managing fear. Not being afraid so afraid of losing the things you love that you hold them too tight. I used to believe in universal contraction. Entropy and the end of all things. Well, I changed my mind. I'm letting go. Because now I believe in expansion. I believe we endure. Don't you see? Everything lives. ” ―Reed Richards
Mr. Fantastic , also known as Reed Richards , is the leader of the Fantastic Four and considered one of the most intelligent man on Earth. He is the husband of fellow Fantastic Four member Susan Storm AKA The Invisible Woman, the brother-in-law of his teammate Johnny Storm and the father of Valeria and Franklin Richards. However his intelligence sometimes gets Reed in trouble with his many experiments and inventions.
However he is much more responsible than his brother-in-law and unintentionally causes harm to others. He is also bitter enemies with Dr. Victor Von Doom, who was his rival in college. However, Reed has his team, the Fantastic Four, to help him defeat his foe.
