History

Ben and Reed Richards went to there college reunion. Reed was initially excited to be able to discuss his powers and accomplishments with his classmates, and Ben was worried no one would care because of his appearance. However, when they arrived Reed found he wasn't on the list and was only let in because they recognized Ben Grimm as the quarterback. As the event went on Reed found himself being almost unknown to practically everyone there while Ben was getting all the positive attention, and event won the Dean's honors alumni award. When Reed and Doctor Doom fought Ben left with a woman commenting that Reed was just catching up with an old friend.
