—Reed Richards[source]What. A. Prize. This is Nathaniel Richards. [...] Did you know that these 'fathers' spent all of time on a suicidal quest to destroy themselves? That they left everyone that loved them behind? That he left me behind? We Reeds learned that lesson very well.
Reed Richards of Earth-12498 was one of the three founders of the Interdimensional Council of Reeds, each with an Infinity Gauntlet.[1] When the Council was annihilated by the Mad Celestials, Reed-12498 narrowly escaped.[2] On Earth-616, he instigated the War of Four Cities and built the Sol's Anvil to fight the Mad Celestials,[3] though he did not use it. He was killed in a failed attempt at destroying a Mad Celestial with the Ultimate Nullifier.[4]
History
Reed Richards acquired his universe's Infinity Gauntlet and founded the Interdimensional Council of Reeds, along with his "brothers" Reed-99107 and Reed-98570.[1] Somewhere along the way, he found his father, the "Beast," but was so disgusted by the ravening lunatic that he turned away.[5]

When the Council contacted Reed Richards of Earth-616 when he activated the Bridge, each of the three founders spent time with him to show him the workings of the Council and what they did. For Reed-12498, he and Reed-616 journeyed into the upper dimensional space of his home universe to monitor a star and Reed-616 helped remove exotic matter which would otherwise have destroyed a sun and killed billions. Soon after, Mad Celestials from Earth-4280 attacked the Council and killed the other two Reed founders. With his Infinity Gauntlet and a Universal Entropy Gun, he was able to repel them temporarily.[6]
