Marvel Characters - Mr. Fantastic

Mr. Fantastic (real name Reed Richards) is one of the first super heroes that Marvel created in the sixties when they decided to create superhero comics once again. He's the leader of the Fantastic Four, and has the ability to shapeshift - most notably being able to stretch to great lengths.

As a child, Reed was able to show off his brilliance when it came to solving math problems, and doing mechanics and physics.

At college, he met many people that would make a dramatic impact on his life. First is Victor Von Doom, who was Richard's roomate. Doom hated Reed the moment he met him, and requested to get a different roommate. Victor would later in life become the Fantastic Four's greatest enemy as Doctor Doom. Reed's next roommate was Benjamin Grimm, who would later be known as The Thing.

In college, Reed came up with a ship that would be able to travel to different solar systems. Once he transferred to Columbia University, he rented a room who's landlord had a daugter named Susan Storm. Susan ended up falling in love with Reed, and they eventually got married. Beyond that, Susan Storm is Invisible Woman, and her brother, Johnathon Storm, is the Human Torch.

He turned into a super hero once he, Ben, Susan, and John went into the ship he designed, the cosmic radiation that resulted was too much for them, and they had to turn back. The radiation ended up giving each of the people their amazing powers.

MORE COMING SOON!
