Mister Fantastic

Reed Richards, also known as Mister Fantastic, is one of the major characters from the Marvel Comics series.
== Charactah Account ==
Reed is the leader of the Fantastic Four. He can stretch his body to great distances due to his exposure to cosmic rays while in space. He is also considered to be one of the smartest men alive.
Reed is a very scientific man who often prefers to solve any situation or confrontation he finds himself in with logic and nonviolence. He is invested in saving as many lives as he can, with any type of scenario that his brain comes up with. Although even the rest of the FF may be weirded out by his ideas, Reed's plans usually come off with a hitch. Johnny once put it that Reed's type of genius came once every several generations and that it was to be appreciated. This "genius" also propels Reed to make decisions based on data. When the X-Men used the power of the Phoenix Force to make the world better, he saw the X-Men as heroes and disbelieved the Avengers' notions purely based on how much a positive environmental impact they were creating.
As logical as Reed is, his science-based approach to most things in life can come off as disrespectful and cold. He routinely needs to be pulled out of his work and back to earth by the team, and most of the time by Sue. The two have gotten used to their polar personalities, but Reed's attempt to abide by his principles has threatened their marriage on several occasions; the Superhuman Registration Act, the Council of Reeds, the FF's takeover of Latveria, etc. Thankfully, the two believe in each other and Reed's family and humanity (which he cares for much) always do his good. His children's youth often causes Reed to utilize his powers in humorous ways for their entertainment.

== Trivia ==
* The powers of all of the Fantastic Four are based on one of the four elements; in Neil Gaiman's Marvel 1602, his power is associated with the classical element of water. The association to the element of water was also brought up in Heroes Reborn Fantastic Four, X-Men / Fantastic Four, Ultimate Fantastic Four and in the Marvel Boy mini-series by Grant Morrison.
* Reed failed his driving test four times.
* Though both Moon Girl and his daughter Valeria have surpassed him in intelligence, Reed Richards is still considered by Moon Girl to be the "smartest man" since they are not male.
* When Power Cosmic-empowered Tony Stark gave everyone in New York City Stark-level intelligence so they could all be super-geniuses like him, he adversely made Reed Richards less intelligent.
* He served as a military consultant in the Siancong conflict.
