Mr. Fantastic & The Thing

Reed Richards and Ben Grimm have been friends since college, and have shared more adventures and excitement in that time than most people will experience their entire lives. It was Reed's help and inspiration that got Ben through college and led him to become a pilot. Likewise, it was Ben's gruff encouragement that drove Reed to continue ever farther down the path of discovery. Unfortunately, Reed's single mistake caused the accident that changed Ben into THE THING. Since then, the two have worked as teammates and family on the FANTASTIC FOUR.
