You thought you could be Reed? Being Reed Richards isn't about being super smart, or having his powers... it's about being selfless. It's about helping people. You really want to be Mister Fantastic, Thinker? Fill some void? Well, last I checked,this world didn't have one anymore.
Ben... should we be doing this? What if we just have a shrinking reservoir of power left? This isn't even our universe! It's one of a million! And we have to find our Reed and Sue still!
So, what's the plan again? Reed left you a message in a device, which Doom had but couldn't access. So Doom gave you the device and in that message Reed pointed you to.... another device he left?
Don't know why I've been questioning Reed's every decision. Nobody's proved himself time and time again like Reed. Maybe it was seeing him lose control while in the Doom armor that bothers me. If a guy like Reed can fall apart, what hope is there for a hothead like me?
I have a career as a singer, fame -- There's my tour to focus on -- even without my powers, that's a life most guys'd kill for. So until that day you come to me, Reed, all "I've found it, Johnny, I've got the cure..."... I guess it's "Flame Off."
You were right, Reed! And I was wrong again -- as usual. I lost my temper -- blew my cool -- gave up on you, and on Ben -- just like a spineless quitter!
Here's my proposal, Roma. Leave Franklin with us. If it works out, your needs are satisfied. If it doesn't -- -- if we can't handle the responsibility, or the threats, to your satisfaction -- -- you get us all. Whatever fate you plan for Franklin, we face it together.
But... what if this is that one time they don't? What am I to do? Reed and Sue have kids! What am I going to tell them? I mean, have you ever lost anyone close to you? Like a family member?
Three of the Fantastic Four are in the Negative Zone -- maybe lost -- and I can't get to them. Meanwhile, the world needs an F.F. to handle -- you know -- F.F. stuff!
I screwed up a lot in my life, Crystal. My relationship with you... ...my chance to be a movie star... Look -- I can't even control my own flame. But I'm not gonna screw this up! I'm not gonna let my sister die!
If I can help the family, I want to be a part of this. Jian'll backstop me, but youcan trust me. I'm not always fourteen. Everything I do know about being an adult, I learned from you, okay?
You thought your gods gave you eternal life. But really, your lives ended. You can't die... but you also can't change. You can't become better people. Your lives can't move on... and you'll never know how happy you could've been.
You can't use my mojo because it's too... too human! I forget. You're not a giant man with a bad wardrobe. Not the giant part, anyway. Yes, you're big......but humanoid...nose, fingers, optic nerves, etcetera...is how my brain registers you so it doesn't melt down.
Is this what you're trying to do, man? Fill the void left by Reed? By the FF? Doesn't that just leave a void where the Mad Thinker was? Or... are you so much of a joke that no one would care if you were missing?
Ms. Koul, no one understands the lengths a person would go to for loved ones more than we do. I promise I'll do my best to help your sister -- we'll do our best... because that's what this family is all about.
If you’re hearing this, I’m sorry, pal. Sorry that I’m gone. ‘Cause... well... I know how you feel when it comes to losing family. And that’s what you are to me. Family. So... if you’re thinking of this as my last will and all... I’m not leaving you my sports cars or stuff like that... I’m leaving you the best thing I ever had... My spot on this team. A place in this family. The best sister, twobrothers, niece, and nephew a guy could ask for. They— We all love you, Pete. So? You up for it, bro? We’re all here for you.
I'm happy for Ben. Seriously, good for him. It's just... You've been an Avenger. Reed's been an Avenger. Hell, probably Val's gonna get drafted next week... And do you think that Luke Cage, when he was putting together his team, thought, for even one second: 'I'll ask Johnny Storm'? ... I know exactly what it means, Sue. And it's nobody's fault but my own. I made my bed of mediocrity...now I'm lying in it.
Hold it, fella! I noticed you hanging around! In case you're too shy to ask me, here's my autograph anyway! Don't bother thanking me... I'm just all heart!
'Course it does. He probably dreamed it up one afternoon between Seinfeld reruns. Okay, Susie. You better hope he designed this thing fer these mitts I gor fer hands now...
Everyone was trying to buy this place. Alchemax, Roxxon, Hammer. ...and I outbid 'em all. So I could hold onto it... until the day the FF are finally back. And that day will come, Johnny.
Speaking of handling. Which of your finely tuned and expensive toys are we taking this time? The Spider-Copter? Spider-Cycle? Spider-Underground-Drill-Car?
I'm Johnny Storm, the Human Torch, and-- Wait. No. I'm not, Not anymore. I keep forgetting that I've lost my powers-- that I'm just like anybody else now. I'm not fantastic at all. And I've never felt so helpless... hopeless.. useless..[1]
