9 Most Shocking Betrayals In Marvel History
7. Ultimate Reed Richards - The Maker
What happens when a genius loses everything? Well apparently they betray their friends, go mad and come back as as a super-villain known as The Maker. The Ultimate version of Mister Fantastic is a child prodigy who is recruited for a government project located in the ever familiar Baxter Building, and things take an evil turn along the way.
A trip to the N-Zone, an experiment gone haywire and boom, The Ultimate FF are born. Everything is going as smoothly as can be expected for a group of people constantly fighting threats to the earth, right up to the Ultimatum series where the death of countless heroes followed by the break up of his relationship with Sue Storm and the disbanding of the Fantastic Four drive Reed over the edge.
After faking his death a new Reed Richards is unleashed on the world in the form of The Maker, and it's this version that is confronted by his former allies after they realise just what a threat he is to the planet. Sadly, even though they defeat him, evil Reed returns time and again seeking revenge.
