Reed Richards (Storyverse)

Reed Richards or Mr. Fantastic is one of the main protagonists of the Tim Story Fantastic Four film series.

Why He Is Fantastic

 * 1) Ioan Gruffudd was well-cast for the role, as he looks just like the character from the comics.
 * 2) He and Sue have a healthy relationship and eventually get married.
 * 3) Most of the time, Reed frequently takes notes so he can study.
 * 4) His Baxter Building is so lifelike.
 * 5) In the second film and video games, he is more productive.
 * 6) His speech to General Hager is a clever recreation of the Fantastic Four comic “Ultimate Destruction”.
 * 7) His costume is very comic book accurate.
 * 8) Some of his lines are memorable including “I’m one of the greatest minds of the 21st century” and “We need a massive amount of evidence before making that leap”.
 * 9) He had some funny moments, particularly around Johnny.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) In the first film, he believed his powers are a disease. Luckily, Johnny helps him understand it is a bad idea.
 * 2) His stretching looks cartoony with obvious CGI.
 * 3) In the second film, he is more focused on his wedding, rather than saving Earth from Silver Surfer/Galactus/Doom.

Trivia

 * Gruffudd returned to voice Mr. Fantastic in the 2005 Fantastic Four video game.
