<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Assertive:'''</span>
 
<br>Reed is used to getting things done, especially when he has to get the ball rolling just to get them done. He's not fond of waiting around for someone else's initiative; in fact, Reed often tries actively to keep himself out of such circumstances, so that he can rely on himself and his own way of doing things. This doesn't help his social skills, though, since as a result he usually dismisses the opinions or strategies of others in favor of his own approach.<br><br>

<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Compassion:'''</span>
 +
<br>When Reed faced the council of Reeds he found that his Father's presence in his life and the compassion instilled in him by this man set him apart from the other's. This compassion is on display when he interacts with other scientists. He recognizes and values their expertise and the different understanding they bring to any endeavor. It is also on display with his family, interacting with his children, the FF and other heroes.<br><br>
 +
<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Elder Statesmen:'''</span>
 +
<br>Reed is the leader of the first hero team of the modern age. His team was the beginning of the current age of heroes. He sees himself as the elder statesmen of heroes. Like everyone's cool uncle, with the fun toys and the great clubhouse, whose wife's make the best lemon bars.<br><br>

<span style="color:#1f75FE">'''Philanthropic:'''</span>
 
<br>While Reed is dedicated entirely to the pursuit of scientific exploration and understanding, he feels it is necessary to help create a better environment for the world at large; Reed thinks this goes hand in hand with his desires to expand understanding of science. His actions are then to aid society, and Reed also donates significant sums of money to various charity organizations. As he is independently wealthy, Reed donates corporate FF endorsements (and the finances made from government contracts) to charity as well.<br><br>

<br>Science is the name of the game for Reed. He is totally devoted to constantly searching for knowledge and the enlightenment of academic experimentation and discovery. To him, the unknown is just a foggy window that a scientist can wipe to see the understanding and reason that lies beyond the obstacle.

<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Elastic Consciousness:'''</span>
 +
<br>Mind Control is rarely effective on him and when it does work, it wears off sooner than it would on a normal person. HIs mind is difficult to read. He has the ability to elongate his synapses effectively increasing his intelligence temporarily.<br><br>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Elasticity:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#8a14ff">'''Elasticity:'''</span>
 
<br>After his trip through the Negative Zone, Reed discovered that he had gained the power of extreme elasticity and malleability. He has complete control over his body mass, able to stretch, twist, compress, expand, or manipulate his body (both in specific parts or as a whole) into any contiguous shapes that he wants. The more extended Reed's body is and the greater overall distance he stretches has an effect on his strength, lessening his might with his expansion.<br> Stretching:Reed can extend the major appendages of his body (arms, legs, torso, and neck) to a length of approximately 1500 feet from one end to the other, and can extend his fingers, nose, ears, and toes to 20 feet each.<br> Expansion: Reed can expand his body linearly, turning himself into a giant sheet (or parachute, or canopy, etc. depending on the situation) whose thickness depends on how greatly he has expanded his form. At his thinnest, Reed is the width of a piece of looseleaf paper (less than 4/10 of an inch).<br> Solidification: Reed's body can assume the form of any solid object that Reed can envision himself - cubes, prisms, spheres, and complex structures. He can also use his skin like rubber, for example, he is able to bounce around if shaped as a ball and in motion. The volume of his solid body can be no greater than roughly 1.8 cubic feet. Reed can also cause his body to narrow so much that it can pass through the eye of a .5 x .6 needle.<br><br>

<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Athletics:'''</span>
 
<br>Hardly the physically exertive type, Reed maintains a moderate athletic workout routine for someone his age. He does calisthenics, jogs regularly, and can lift 150 lb weights. He's in good health and has a pretty good stamina and a decent physique, but he is no rival of professional athletes.<br><br>

<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Electronics:'''</span>
+
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Deductive Reasoning:'''</span>
<br>Reed is one of the foremost experts of electronics, computer technology, and robotics on the planet. He's a mechanical wiz, and spends hours every day tinkering with ways to both improve his understanding of cutting-edge technology as well as expanding the limits of said technology. It's one of his favorite pasttimes, and Reed has authored a number of technical manuals, developed software for various professional and educational fields, and speaks regularly at computer and electronic conferences. In a nutshell, Reed digs the modern technological explosion and gets involved in it as much as he can, trying to push its possibilities to the limits.<br><br>
+
<br>While not the "world's greatest detective" by any means, Reed is a world class investigator. HIs deductive reasoning abilities make him an excellent cryptographer and linguist. He is a value add to an investigation in any field of endeavor.<br><br>

<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Humor:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Humor:'''</span>
<br>Reed has the ability to somehow remain a straight man throughout whatever humor (or lack thereof) might surround him - his embrace of scientific innovation seems to have made him immune to consciously engaging in witty repartee or comical conversation. Thus, Reed can never be derided for making terrible puns; he can, however, be derided for not catching a joke.<br><br>

<br>Reed has a remarkably dry wit. He maintains the ability to somehow remain a straight man throughout whatever humor (or lack thereof) might surround him. Thus, Reed maintains the facade of not getting it, so he cannot be derided for making terrible puns; he can, however, be derided for not catching a joke.<br><br>
 
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Investor:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Investor:'''</span>
<br>Since childhood, Reed has made a great deal of money through his numerous patents and inventions. He's made even more money by investing much of his funds in the stock market and various business ventures, which have turned out rather well for him so far. Reed has a knack for maintaining his money, though his interests (and efforts) aren't in conquering the market, so while he prospers, Reed isn't making exponential killings off of his invested income.<br><br>

<br>Reed has parlayed his father's inheritance into a great deal of money through his numerous patents and inventions.

 +
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Judo:'''</span>
 +
<br>Mister Fantastic has a black belt in Judo. As one of the few masters of Judo, he is the master of Atemi-Waza (body-striking techniques), uke waza (defending blocks & parries), throws (nage waza) and holds (katame waza).<br><br>
 
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Leader:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Leader:'''</span>
 
<br>Reed's a natural leader (growing out of either his assertiveness or his arrogance), and overall he's not a bad one. Not to say that every decision Reed makes is the best, but he seems to have the hang of it - especially when he's on the line and no one else factors into it. Reed can't always deal with others' input or the concept of individualistic approaches to teamwork, but his success rate is generally much higher than that of failure.<br><br>

<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Pilot:'''</span>
 
<br>One of Reed's more adventurous pasttimes (in strictly non-superhuman terms) is flying planes. Reed is a certified amateur pilot, and has taught himself also how to fly jets and spacecraft, possessing knowledge of such vehicles to the extent that Reed is an expert in all but official admission. In addition, Reed developed a special flight system for his own innovations in aircraft, most notably the vessel which the Fantastic Four used to travel through the Negative Zone.<br><br>

 +
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Psychohistory:'''</span>
 +
<br>Reed was so Intrigued by the fictional discipline of Psychohistory found in the Foundation series of novels by Isaac Asimov, that he decided to invent it. A discipline combining history, sociology, and mathematical statistics to make general predictions about the future behavior of very large groups of people.<br><br>
 +
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Relevant Intelligence:'''</span>
 +
<br>Not only has Reed proven himself to be a genius in virtually every area of science & mathematics native to Earth, he has shown himself to be more knowledgeable than even some of the most highly advanced alien civilizations in the known universe as well.<br><br>
 
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Scholar:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#00CED1">'''Scholar:'''</span>
 
<br>Reed Richards holds multiple doctorates, gathered from the fields of chemistry, physics (nuclear and astro), computer science, robotics, and mechanical engineering. In addition, Reed is held to be a valued and respected expert in every field, often consulted by his colleagues for his research and discoveries. He even holds a Nobel Prize from discovering the existence of the alternate dimension known as the 'Negative Zone'. From time to time, Reed will publish a new paper on one of his many fields of expertise, and is continuing to expand his academic understanding - he is working on PhD research for neurology and chemical engineering right now, during his spare time.<br><br>

<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Hubris:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Hubris:'''</span>
 
<br>Reed's got a bit of a superiority complex. He thinks he's the smartest and best guy around, and his life as a prodigy and innovator hasn't really tempered that self-perspective. As a result, Reed feels he always needs to be in control and in charge of any situation; he can't handle being subordinate to another's leadership, command, or initiative. In fact, Reed will often actively oppose following the lead of another in order to complete his own strategies or initiatives, which he feels are more successful thanks to his greater brainpower and intelligence. This sort of behavior doesn't exactly win him points with anyone else, and even his closest friends seem to merely tolerate Reed's self-importance rather than always adhering or following that leadership.<br><br>

<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Magic:'''</span>
 +
<br>Despite Reed's advanced level of knowledge and understanding he has something of a block when it comes to magic. He just doesn't get it, even the most simple incantation is beyond him.<br><br>
 +
<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Not Woke:'''</span>
 +
<br>Reed is a middle aged white man, who's intellect gives him further elite status. While he is progressive in his ideology, he is also a product of his environment and his upbringing.<br><br>
 
<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Overconfidence:'''</span>
 
<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Overconfidence:'''</span>
 
<br>Reed's a terribly overconfident fellow; some might call him downright cocky. He's a smart guy and an eager adventurer, and Reed relies on his experience and intelligence to get him (and the rest of his team) through any problems that might arise. However, even the smartest man on earth can be wrong, or at least miscalculate (or even forget something!), and it's bound to happen from time to time. Reed's overconfidence in himself always runs the risk of bringing him failure, but he's not always willing to admit it.<br><br>

<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Public Identity:'''</span>
 
<br>Reed Richards has made his life as a super-hero public, by making knowledge of his powers and origin (and most of his actions taken before and since) available to the world at large. This makes him relatively easy to access, and any enemies that want to come calling know exactly where to go. In addition, a public life removes a good deal of privacy from a person's schedule, and Reed & co. have had to sacrifice that privacy for their work as adventurers and super-heroes. It can get irritating, and it often does - and when four people all possess the same problem and have to deal with it together, the result can sometimes be messy.<br><br>

<span style="color:#EE204D">'''Weirdness Magnet:'''</span>
 
<br>Whether due to his extensive scientific exploration or out of pure luck (though almost assuredly the former), Reed seems to attract a lot of weird stuff into his life. Inexplicable phenomena that defy scientific law, alternate dimensions, and other curious oddities - not the least of which are fantastic super-powers! - abound in Reed's daily activities. He just can't escape having an extraordinary life. On the other hand, that lack of escape makes it impossibly hard for him to live a normal life, alone with his experiments and innovations, as he is constantly interrupted by the numerous distractions of adventure that call him away from his work.<br><br>
