Stretching Across The Marvel Universe - Mister Fantastic Appreciation

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

I know we have a FF appreciation thread, but there's also a thread dedicated to Sue, so I figured Reed deserved his own as well. A founding member of the Fantastic Four, Reed is considered the greatest scientific mind in the Marvel Universe and has the ability to stretch his body into any shape he wants. Not only that, but he's the husband of the greatest female superhero in the Marvel Universe: The Invisible Woman! He's also the father to two children, Franklin and Valeria.

To start this thread right, I'm going to be posting pics of Reed through the years by different artists and costumes, and my favorite panels.

A marvel to behold! especially when he got, to me, damaged beyond repair for a decade 'cause of the Civil Gore fest.

I don't think beyond repair, but yeah, Civil War was awful in regards to Reed

I guess that I'm lucky... I've never read Civil War...

One of Reed's feats--building the equipment and finding the NZ from FF #51:

Kirby had such a magnificent imagination when it came to putting machinery/equipment to pages (or everything, really).

QFT ! And pretty much grounded in art history in this issue : the collage looks toward Dadaism and Surrealism while the machine seems designed by a Constructivist or Suprematist artist. The kid from Brooklyn is full of ambition in his late 40s. I guess that he project himself a lot in Reed - and not only in Ben as it had been stated many times.

Waid and the late, great Mike Wieringo began their acclaimed Fantastic Four run with this special one-off nine-cent issue that gave us the hidden (and heartfelt) origin of exactly why Reed Richards chose to call himself “Mister Fantastic.”

Yep, good stuff!
