Reed Richards (Earth-11584)

History
"'Ben, no matter what may happen or what these powers will entail, I will find a way to change you back, I promise.'"Coming Soon...

Powers & Abilities

 * Elasticity: The cosmic ray accident which granted the Fantastic Four their powers gave Reed virtually total control over his molecular structure, allowing him to stretch, deform, and manipulate his body in extreme ends. He can stretch across long distances, expand his mass to cover a large area, and even concentrate his mass into his fist to increase his physical power.
 * Genius Intellect: Reed is one of the smartest men in the MCU, holding PH'ds in Engineering, Physics and Mathematics from some of the most prestigious universities in the world. He has used this intellect to create patents to some of the underlying technologies used in the MCU (such as the repulsor technology used by Tony Stark in his Iron Man suits) to become an independently wealthy scientist and researcher. He also invented the unstable molecule, which he utilizes in the team's uniforms.

Weaknesses
Reed's elastic body is susceptible to the weaknesses of elastic materials such as rubber. Exposure to extreme cold will cause his body to become rigid and brittle at a much faster rate than a normal human. He also could be hurt by extreme heat. Being rapidly stretched by force (such as by some sort of taffy machine) would likely cause him great distress.

Personality wise Richards is often considered cold and uncaring by those who don't personally know him. It has been speculated that he has some form of ASD that limits his abilities of social interaction, but this is unconfirmed. To his friends and family, he is much more compassionate, though.
