Nothing adds drama to the life of a superhero quite like good old-fashioned time travel can. As if one timeline of endless battles, revelations, shocks, twists, and turns wasnât enough, imagine having an endless supply of them, all tumbling over one another for chronal supremacy. Entire lifetimes can get very messy very quickly, and unfortunately for the Fantastic Four, thatâs exactly what happened to Nathaniel Richards. The father of Reed Richards, Nathaniel Richards, is a man of mystery who travels throughout time, sometimes as a benefactor for the Fantastic Four and sometimes as a harbinger of doom.It’s always a complicated relationship with oneâs children when the very idea of expunging them from an entire timeline for the sake of a future they will never see is a relationship that Nathaniel has had to shoulder numerous times. This isnât to say that Nathaniel Richards is a villain; in fact, heâs quite heroic (at least, some of his versions are) and has saved the world countless times over from threats across the timestream. But the endless weight on his shoulders has turned Nathaniel into a very textured character who hasnât always seen eye to eye with his own family.Tragedy struck for both Nathaniel and Reed when Evelyn died early in Reedâs life. His father was always at his side and did his best to provide Reed with a rich learning environment, never giving up on his son. Everything in both Nathaniel and Reedâs lives would change forever when Nathanielâs secret life came to an unexpected head. Nathaniel was actually a member of the organization known as The Brotherhood of the Shield, a secret society of geniuses who dedicated themselves to protecting the world.
