How much intelligence is Reed going to lose? Is he going to be Johnny Blaze dumb, or is he just being downgraded to "lowly" top teir professor intelligence.

Hickman has also pointed out numerous times that they all have been manipulated by black swan. They don't have any other options because she guided them to being world killers. Something that wasn't as hard as usual according to Maximus. You can rationalize their actions if you want but there is one inescapable fact: They allowed Black Swan to turn them into world killers and that was exactly what she wanted.
How disappointing.
It's like this time when you face a road and want to take the crosswalk.
Either you go all the way in and take it, or you don't and stay clear off the road.
But there's one thing you don't do: stopping in the middle of crossing the road, waiting for the traffic to get right back at you - that's the most dangerous thing to do.
And it's basically what happened here.
The moment the Illuminati reformed and started talking about solutions to destroy other planets, they had lost any sort of morality, or rather, turned their back on said morality.
Namor is the only one who knew truly what this meant, and was always ready to make sure things went through to achieve their initial goal - save their world and their universe.
Countrary to the others, he truly had renounced the persona he was when he joined the group to tackle this threat.
Namor is the only one who acted like a leader in this situation, period.
He won't take any pride in this, becoming a mass murderer to preserve the entirety of his people, his planet, his universe.
Yet, apparently, he will be confronted by his teamates next issue, who were willing to bail on the entirety of 616 - their own families, friends and people included ! - only to preserve the image they had of their former selves: moraly pure and shiny heroes.
Instead of being thankful he relieved them from this burden and actually saved their lives (among trillions of others across 616).
The sad truth is that they were pathetical, the whole lot of them - I can't decide who came off the worst out of this, maybe Stark "I'm not using this thing" and Richards "It matters" ?
Actually, Stark deserve the palm, he comes off as the worst kind of hypocrite.
As if him not using the bomb despite being one of those who designed it in the first place would, somehow, wash him out of the billions of death it being detonated on another world would bring...
Revolting.
That being said, the issue was a gem, between Schti and the crafting of Hickman...Just stellar.

Anything less negates every belief we've ever had, every sacrifice we've ever made."
