Real name: Reed Richards, Leader of the Fantastic Four, based in Baxter building, New York City
Powers: Capable of converting his body into a highly malleable state at will, allowing Mr. Fantastic to be able to stretch, deform, expand or compress himself into any shape.
History: Mr. Fantastic was a child prodigy with a special aptitude in mathematics, physics and mechanics. His intelligence has allowed him to invent numerous objects whose patents serve as the income for the Fantastic Four. He received his powers on an interstellar test flight when his spaceship encountered severe radiation. The cosmic rays had mutagenically altered not only his body but the bodies of his fellow crewmates: Susan and Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm. Richards then convinced his friends to use their powers for humanity’s good and the Fantastic Four was created.
