| | Opinions 27 - Superheroes Behaving Badly XI: Reed Richards (Aug 2000) |
 | | Reed Richards, as Lee and Kirby conceived him, combines in his overachieving person the virtues of a genius-level intellect, a first-rate scientific education, and the motivation necessary to play the roles of cutting-edge inventor and first-rate hero. |
 | | Reed Richards, however, comics scientist - a role that combines teacher, inventor, researcher, physicist, engineer, mathematician, astronomer, chemist, mechanic, author, pundit, biologist, archaeologist, historian, lawyer, paramedic, and a few dozen specialties as well - certainly would comprehend big numbers, Avagadro's number, transfinite numbers, and the kind of gigadeaths that amounted to business-as-usual for Galactus. |
 | | In this, we should perhaps forgive him a bit in the bizarre outcome of this story, with Reed Richards enjoying a warm and fuzzy moment with one of the most relentless mass murderers produced by the comics of the Silver Age. |
