Though the Fantastic Four have yet to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, audiences have seen the importance of family in super teams thanks to groups like The Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy. But what those teams lacked was a common denominator that brought them all together. In the case of the Fantastic Four, the storm of cosmic rays that gave them their powers was what defined their future.While the cosmic rays were an accident and couldn’t have been predicted, even with Reed Richards’ calculations, it was a weight that Reed has continued to carry even in the present day. That same guilt has helped to define Reed’s role on the team and why his constant need to research was fueled by his desire to try and cure his family. With the team finally coming to the MCU, it’s the perfect chance to highlight this tragic aspect of Reed’s personality and offer a new look at a character who has always been considered the “smartest person” on the team.When the Fantastic Four first got their powers, none was more disappointed than Ben Grimm, as his entire body was now as hard as rocks. Known as The Thing, it didn’t help his self-esteem for some time and was the catalyst for Reed’s immeasurable guilt over the entire situation. For decades, Reed continued to search for a cure as Ben had highs and lows with accepting his new life. Though it seemed like Reed was a workaholic, trying to uncover the next secret, he was always looking for a way to cure the ones he loved from a life he inadvertently pushed upon them. Even now, the only thing that Reed could offer was one day when Ben didn’t have to be The Thing in Fantastic Four #12 (by Dan Slott and Sean Izaakse). But Reed’s guilt wasn’t relegated to Ben only.RELATED: The MCU May Be Setting the Stage for a British Superhero Team
