User blog comment:Blinkn/Were they a little bit evil during Civil War?/@comment-11559702-20130715181306

I don't think they went evil, but they were pushed by emotions. Superheroes are supposed to help protect the masses, yet Iron Man and Mr.Fantastic both use their considerable intelligence to do so. They were doing what they thought was the most logical thing yet it was not the right thing. They both were pushed by children's needs, his children for Reed and his young, deceased, fans for Tony and were driven by instincts. Reed, given his nobility, would do anything to protect his children and he had the ability to change the world. But that's my opinion on why they changed so much from their original personas. But as M(G)P said, (see below), we're still arguing and may never truly know exactly the true reasons.
