You know,in many conversations with fellow comic book geeks,i feel sad that FF aren't that popular.Especially people who started reading comics from mid 90s till now,they prefer mostly x-staffs and now Avengers-stuff.

I always have a big love for Fantastic Four.To people who appreciate comic book medium,they know that FF are the heart and the birth of Marvel Universe.But even the people who love FF,most of them tend to diminish Reed Richards.



Mr Fantastic is my favorite member of the four,outside of Ben Grimm.I always have a think for scientist,gadgeteers and tinkerers. He is,in many ways,a great underrated hero.Except his amazing IQ(a great plot device and deus ex machina),his powers can be very creative in the hands of a imaginable writer.Also,Reed was a great team leader.In WWII,he showed those leadership qualities that lead him to be the leader of the Four.It's sad that sliding timeline erase that part of his history and he is just a science geek.
