it's all right I'll catch you I don't think I'm right here I don't think I want to let do something else okay look at me [Music] son it's okay to be afraid it's okay to fail but to say that you're not even willing to try that's unacceptable Reed okay I'll do my best are you ready I'm ready good now jump I am an instrument of Fate look out Su I have been created for a single purpose Reed we're in trouble here Johnny's out and I'm doing everything I can to hold things together maybe now's the
time for some deductive reasoning I am righteous vengance in robotic war on it dear it's actually fascinating each of these machines appears to have been manufactured specifically to defeat a single member of our superhero family I cannot fail then we better switch things off there was a hole in my logic hey there's a guy inside he ain't got no clothes on it's Bentley Whitman the wizard Ben I'd recognize that head anywhere Johnny check the other machines we'll do yep all three Alive and Kicking well then be careful there are people involved let's show a little
compassion and restraint for our fellow [Music] man is there anything more disappointing to a Creator than the failure of his creation why is it that my sons so thoroughly fail to please me it is also very disappointing I know that a father is supposed to Unconditionally Love his children but I can only find room in my heart for anger for you and your current generation I'm going to have to do something about this here's the last one read they're all the same person manufactured I'd guess clones well which one's the real deal not sure maybe
none of them something's not quite right here let's have a closer look oh that's completely messed up DNA based processing redundant intelligence centers trans Universal point-to-point data streaming really solid work Dr Whitman oh here's the real problem hunter killer clones designed spefic specifically determinat us and you found a bigger problem he's got a plutonium powered brain Sue he's his own Final Solution great any other bad news bomb's active I can track the feed unfortunately I only packed a single translocator don't worry this shouldn't take long I'll be home for dinner bed oh what have you
done is it playing God if you're truly serious about creation no it's not you need to stop this don't be afraid Richards this is Discovery what do you say let's slice open some atoms and get a peek at the origin of the universe Bentley you're not well you think I don't have to do this I do we need to burn it down and start over Gods make mistakes Richard look at us when they lock you up I'll make sure you get the very best care I'll visit regularly I promise maybe we can publish a paper
together and that is what Daddy did at work today yes pow take that bad guys tell us another story Dad it's bad I'm Franklin and tonight was an exception you know that I don't like story time to be about whatever Adventures your mother and I get into you hear enough about that from Uncle Johnny and Ben so tomorrow night it's back to reading from the structure of scientific revolutions exciting stuff oh Ma'am good night Val I hope the part about the bombs didn't scare you dad I know that you were built the entire top of
the building to act as an interdimensional Panic Room I wasn't afraid Franklin and I were f besides I'm 3 years old it's important for me to not spend time thinking about things like that night I really hate going to bed I know how you feel when I grow up I'm going to stay up super late even later than Uncle Johnny that's pretty big talk I'm a pretty big boy love you Dad me too son good night hey Dad yes what happened to the little boy who the Wizard's kid you know the little boy in the
story you told us well as you know when a bad guy gets captured they usually get sent to prison then it becomes the responsibility of the authorities to help out with a situation like this they'll find him a new home so he's going to be all right I hope so sometimes when children have bad parents it makes things very difficult sometimes they need a lot of looking after there's too much of that going on right now oh but you're going to help him right you you have to try three choices in each envelope is an
all expenses paid vacation each one to a luxurious remote and secluded location it's time to choose contestant number one what's it going to be I don't know about this what's to know you're ugly you're lonely and you've just had your heart broken time to get out of town man pick okay uh that one kids are in bed thanks Val figured out the changes I made to the building how did you should plan on getting used to it Susan she's going to be much smarter than I am winner winner chicken dinner 3 days two nights on
beautiful new world with superhero SL celebrity Johnny Storm oh and what's this prize includes fruit baskets and a selection of scented oils and other fine bath products very nice Benny well done ah you're just going to ditch me for some girl when we get there you can't prove that hasn't happened yet we'll go this weekend have a bag packed it's going to be a blast should have picked a different one I'm not sure how to handle this the same way you handle everything else better than I do you're a great mom that's all she needs
hey these all say the same thing you couldn't lose big guy who loves you like Uncle Johnny okay I'm going upstairs turning in yes I'm exhausted I never used to get this tired you coming you pretend that there is something wrong with me but I know you see the same things I do math is the language of God Richards we've both done the calculations this world is going to tear itself apart and there's nothing either of us can do to stop it we've been judged I've got some things rattling around in my head I need
to deal with I would tell you not to stay up too late but we both know better than that don't we just don't fall asleep in the lab okay uh-huh confirm voice authorization there is always hope deep in thought keep out once I built a great machine it spanned the difference between the known and the unknown it provided answers to Impossible questions what is the true cost of man's mistakes what is the purpose of my life how can I save my world in these dark times and the one that changed everything who else seeks the
answers to these same questions the machine was pure knowledge a much too dangerous thing so I hid it here in my room of 100 ideas 100 ideas I believed could change the world and a greater one beyond that I want to build a different future than the tomorrow I see on the horizon what kind of a man am I if I don't do everything I can to make that happen so now I return to the machine you said you could help me he took 3 days longer than normal it's to be expected he's a troubled
and conflicted man now how can we help you Reed Richards how do I solve everything aggressively you're me clearly I am not and neither are these men then who are you my name is Dr Richards but I prefer Reed as I'm sure you do yes yes I do you two your powers are like the members of my family re of Earth 6590 and re of Earth 12 were chosen because you would find them familiar we found this helps ease the transition and what are your powers oh there's nothing special about me I'm just a man
come with us there's something you need to see where are we a conduit that leads to a construct nestled inside a fabricated pocket reality it's a place outside of both the universal structure and the space that exists between them do you understand no here the rules that govern all reality do not apply it is here that we do our work and where are we going to meet your brothers welcome to the council this is the good place made by great man here all things are possible this is amazing what do attention attention Universal Beacon activated
there has been a galactic incursion on Earth 2012 and the great hunger is upon me once more unexpected my first day was nowhere near as interesting as this this is what you do protect Earth's from whatever policing time is a reactive position read we do much more than that just just as the founders of this Council intended who built this place we did Dr Richards this is a dream made reality a place to become something greater than what you were we would like for you to join us it's time you reached your full potential [Music]
I don't believe in Murder here they come get ready but this morning before breakfast I helped kill a galatis on Earth 2012 this planet dies so that I may live a course of events that has occurred a billion times before engaging breakfast time function good morning morning Dad here you go stretch you look like you need this more than I do thanks what's going on over birthday party ah Arty and leech are definitely coming um so are Katie and Jack power is there anyone else you want to invite do you think Dad could get Spider-Man
to come well he'll probably be busy but I'm sure that he could ask what do you want that guy for if you want a super cool superhero at your party someone that says Franklin Richards living the dream then you're going to want the Human Torch kid I'm sure I could squeeze it in Mom I'd really rather have Spider-Man listen I'm going to tell you this because no one else will Franklin Spider-Man sucks you suck suck face Franklin apologize okay B sorry Uncle suck face and what's wrong with you I don't want the kid embarrassing himself
uh-huh do me a favor you and Ben go play with the kids okay I need to talk to Reed sure okay midgets move it you know stretch your scientist leader man when you don't keep the wife happy it's the whole team that suffers thisam call activated so you've been spending a lot of time with yourself yes yes I have Reed I know your work is important and I would never tell you what to do with your time sure you would in fact I'm pretty sure that's exactly what you're getting ready to do I hate it
when you do that you spend all day in your lab and then you act like you know every thought that's running through my mind Susan when I was 15 I split my first adom and by the time I was 25 I had spaced Gene created new life I've been to the stars in a rocket built with my own hands and I've seen the death and birth of sons with my very own eyes all of this my own doing I'm the foremost authority in countless areas of Science and Technology and when the smartest people on this
planet need help it's me they call I will not apologize for knowing the things I do what's your point I'm an expert in many things but it's you I've studied the most give me one more week Universe 8,901 day one I could never accept the idea of someone going hungry so I started here terraforming a 24 squ Mile patch of land on a Barren uninhabitable Planet I called it the farm and now this planet provides food for those that have none this is good Reed what it takes a while for one of us to get
acclimated to being a member of the council to get used to what it is that we can do your entire life you've had to think in terms of what's the most one man can achieve as if choosing between things as a requirement you're going to have to stop thinking so small I don't why would I ever stop at one read I have hundreds of Worlds like this the scale of something like that yes it's time to let your imagination run wild Dr Richards take a look now pretend there is no Horizon ah good a shipment
is getting ready to go through you won't want to miss this cool listen there's something I've been wanting to ask of course what is it you're wearing an Infinity Gauntlet a glove that will let any wish become reality why bother with all this when you could just snap your fingers it doesn't work that way the gauntlet only functions in the universe it comes from and we're operating in a slightly bigger Arena than that besides there's nothing wrong with getting your hands dirty is there Universe 45 day three you've seen the farm yes everything we do
is a purpose it was necessary for you to see that before you see this the greater good always makes the necessary evil more tolerable watch this is an important lesson hold him do your worst Richards Doom will never stop I know you think that Victor you could have been so much more what did you do do gar is a permanent control mechanism it destroys higher brain functions and so just like that Victor Von Doom is gone and only this shell of a Thing Remains Doom why would you do that to him Doom what made this
Doom so much worse than all the rest Doom I want to show you something this is the hole oh no the hole deep beneath the main Council chamber this is wrong of course it is but like I said necessary you don't know it yet but you'll learn that there is no greater threat in the universe than Doom his appetite is unmatched he will never break he will never yield I should I believe you because on my earth a small portion of Victor's DNA was spliced together with mine you see I know him in a way
that none of you ever will I feel those same urges I've got some Doom in me upper dimensional Space Universe 12,498 day four this is slightly disorienting don't worry Reed that's perfectly normal operating at higher level space takes some getting used to in this dimension scale and Will are perfectly proportional this is how we perform surgery on the universe now have a look around see what you're dealing with it seems to be a variable density star in a state of unnatural rapid Decay uh-huh and what could cause something like that my best guess right now
would be a super symmetrical oh careful oh I think I've got it move it slowly wow did you look at that Fringe Dark Matter yes the remnants of the Big Bang like a cruel parent the universe reached out from the past to try and take back one of her children you just saved 8 billion people Reed feel good yes very good well that's it then what do you mean you've seen the farm yes and the hole yes and you've seen the good and the bad and after that you Stood Beside Me larger than the Sun
and did The Impossible it's time for you to decide Reed do you want to play superhero the rest of your life or do you want to join us and solve everything the backer building day five [Music] I can always tell when you've got something on your mind Reed what's troubling you son the kids at school someone's being mean to you no nothing like that no one makes fun of me or anything actually they think I'm cool and how is that a problem Reed they like me dad but they're not like me no one is I
don't understand there's something special about you Reed one day you're going to have the opportunity to help lots and lots of people maybe even everyone just maybe if you set your mind to changing the world for the better you can do that because there is nothing you can't do you really believe that son I know it the council day six so you've come to a decision I have and you're sure I've Avid all the options and I think that I can do the most good with the council so if you'll have me I'd like to
join I believe I belong here then sound the great symbol let the word Echo out our number has grown by one we've been found by another brother what say you council is this man impossible brothers be wary the Gateway is breached the council is compromised it's the bridge from Universe 4280 what is the meaning of this I'm sorry so sorry they made me who made you speak man who made you theyve grown mad they think they are Gods I thought I could stop them alone I was wrong they took me tore open my mind I
told them about us now they have come and from here they plan to take everything who not Gods but something close enough [Music] celestials what are their intentions I can't push through madness madness they want the council as a staging area for Conquest they've noticed me unacceptable we have removed the Intruder animal from our mind Collective this place leads to all others we would have all of it kneel and gain favor forgiveness no we are men we have no Masters find cover defend the council to the Armory read I need you to access my universe
you're going to use your Infinity Gauntlet yes my body will not be able to handle it you'll burn me out I'll die die we have to turn this over we're finished I can't think of any other way can you no no I can't well it's been one hell of a ride for all of us [Music] [Music] you f get to your Earth and bring back whatever you can to help stop these monsters hurry [Music] activate [Music] Bridge Reed's primary Lab 5 minutes ago I'm all done Val what's your pack some Comics food snacks some juice
boxes well don't squish them remember last time when hey got it cool what is it Insurance Franklin your horse ready yep ready and RN then let's go we don't want to miss our flight okay that's it we're off it's going to take an hour or so for R to reach the platform where the new world portal is you sure it's okay for us to be going soon cuz you ain't going to be able to reach us if you need us go have a good time you deserve it all right then you heard the lady no
way to be bothered and stuck on a world that has never known the love of one Johnny storm here we go what was it you said Mom can we please go on vacation with Uncle Ben and Uncle Johnny no absolutely not she said maybe next time when you're older she said and what did we think of that it didn't seem fair it wasn't fair not one bit right wait why is that again because it's almost your birthday right then I'll be one year old Franklin yeah though they're going to have to round up I'm going
to shoot the thing [Music] now wo [Music] deep in thought keep out read I've been thinking mostly about the conversation we had at breakfast the other morning about what I want and what I expect and and I want to apologize not because I was wrong or because I reacted poorly but because sometimes I forget what it must be like to be you you needing to fix everything and me and the rest of the family not being able to help you or even see what it is that needs fixing deep in thought keep out so if
this is just one of those things you need to work through on your own I know it must be very important deep in thought keep out what I'm saying is yes I miss you God do I but you take however long you need because what I want is for you to be you and what I expect is for you to do what you think is right I'll be here waiting when you're done deep in thought keep out the council moments [Music] later a nice read a universal entropy gun punch a hole in an impenetrable object
with an antimatter shell and deliver a payload of Rapid equilibrium damned effective when celestials bleed [Music] [Music] energy I hope it hurt they're retreating good get this man some Aid status report the ccil has been secured five of them escaped through other Bridges four through one one through the other you're going to be all right shut off axes from those universes and gather a Hunting Party summon any Reeds that weren't here we're going after them on it read you stay here look after the wounded but I can help you've done enough you were the only
only one who came back the weapons you brought turned the tide so that's twice you saved my life today I'll have to owe you you saved me as well Reed are you all right no when they tore my mind apart looking for information about this place the celestials did something it's gone Reed my gift how my mind worked gone I'm sorry we'll find some way to fix this to fix you well you know and what if you can't I don't know there are other things important things like what friends family no one here has those
things anymore we gave all that up for the greater good so if I don't have this I have nothing what do you mean no one here has those things it's simple read the cost of solving Everything is Everything the work will consume you how can we think about little things like our personal lives when the fate of all we know lies in the balance Susan will stop understanding her patience will run out as she's forced to raise the family all alone doesn't she deserve better Ben and Johnny will get angry and eventually move on your
children will resent you because you work too much and love too little all you'll have left is this I would never do that yes you would you will it's the price read it always gets paid even knowing this is how it ends for me I'd gladly do so again no I don't accept that I won't who are you to think you're any different Reed you'll be back you always come back I have to go now Reed I want you to stay there are things that have to be done things I must do I don't have
any other choice son I wish I did how long will you be gone for a long time too long if you truly need me I'll be around I promise but what if I just want to talk Reed I've given you plenty of advice over the years and I know you've listened because I see what you've become a man capable of making his own decisions computer seal unlock the door to the machine erase the room but I want you to remember One Last Thing Before I Go the world is ugly it should not be but it
is it will force you to do things you know you should not do to compromise simply because you feel like you have no other choice this weakens us it makes men less than what we should be and will be even more difficult for you cuz you have an extra burden cuz you have a gift that will affect many people but this without this means nothing it's a terrible thing for someone not to reach their full potential I know as I've grown older I've realized I did not have the character to be both good and great
at the same time but you do read and as such all of my hopes and desires rest in you becoming what I am not when you grow up I expect more son I I expect better I want you to be a better friend than I was be a better husband be a better father read be a better man [Music]
