Mister Fantastic

Mister Fantastic's History

Early years

The past history of Reed Richards on Earth-10011 and the Fantastic Four mirrors that of his Earth-616 counterpart until the bedside vigil of Mar-Vell.

With his friend Ben Grimm, the Thing, his wife Susan Storm, the Invisible Woman, and her brother Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, they formed the Fantastic Four.

With Susan, he had a son, Franklin.[2]

Corruption

Reed Richards was one of the heroes who sought to find a cure for Mar-Vell's cancer. He was at the bedside vigil for the dying hero, informing him there was nothing science could do for him. As Mar-Vell began to take his final breaths, he struck a deal with the Many-Angled Ones, becoming corrupted and corrupting those in his presence, including Richards.[3] Soon, their whole reality, Earth-10011, became what is known as the Cancerverse.

Seemingly under Reed's guidance, the Fantastic Four welcomed the Many-Angled Ones, who corrupted them into the Ftaghn Four. They told the Ftaghn Four of the "meaning of the word" "family", and Reed used his elastic body to unite the family by attaching them to each others, and live forever. Franklin was given by his family the "greatest gift a family can give a child", and made him an host for their Many-Angled Ones masters. He was able to house several of the elder gods, and was thus considered the most blessed of all.[2]
