10 Worst Things Reed Richards Has Ever Done

10. Injected Franklin With Nanomachines

A wise man once said that it is better to ask for forgiveness than permission. Reed Richards, it would seem, has taken this concept completely to heart. However, even the person behind that phrase, I like to believe, would agree that things like "bodily autonomy" should be listed as one of the few exceptions to that rule.

Shame, then, that Reed Richards disagrees heavily.

Now, when your kid has the power to alter reality to his every whim, to the point where he can magically undo the miscarriage of his little sister, it stands to reason that you would want to keep an eye on him to make sure he isn't going Bright Burn on your ass. But in the short lived series Fantastic Four/Power Pack, we learn that Reed's method of doing this is less "convincing your kid to download Life 360 or something", and more "nanomachines, son!"

This is bad enough on its own, but then it turns out that the nanomachines are potentially radioactive, so even more egg on your face, Dr. Richards.
