10 Worst Things Reed Richards Has Ever Done

1. Becoming The Maker

Ultimate Reed Richards seemed like a normal alternate version of our Reed at first, granted with a few things changed to set the two apart. But over time, the layers began to be peeled off to reveal that this version of Reed was a true blue sociopath with a fundamentally contemptuous view of human life, and his universe in particular.

So he became The Maker, with the aim of leaving his universe behind to find one that's a tad more fascinating, after blowing up his original one, of course. He wouldn't be that good a villain if his motivation stopped at needing a vacation.

The Maker is everything that 616 Reed struggles with keeping himself from becoming every single day, as this list so handily demonstrates. He is all of Reed's vices, with none of his virtues, and becoming The Maker - with everything The Maker then does afterwards - is by far the worst thing a version of Reed Richards has ever done.
