For a guy who was all "Hulk Smash!", old school Hulk could really over think life sometimes...

Hmm, let's see... Totally random circumstances,no control factors or measurable degrees of faction ???? Yeah it's totally doable. Risk your life why not ?



Typical among the intelligentsia,why the scientific method fails switch to personal attacks to find subjects for experimentation.



Why can't people just leave things alone ? Someone always has to go and touch stuff.

Well, Reed Richards went from "I'm sure we'll be perfectly safeKKRZAAPPPPXAZAARGH!!!!" to "I have complete control over the elasticity of my body with no harmful side effects." in the space of 10 minutes, so I'll assume the genius level guy who did this on purpose, and who was zapped with the computer system of the spaceshuttle might be fairly quick on the uptake.

Well noticing your arm is stretching a great deal further is immediately noticeable. Just like catching on fire without being hurt or turning invisible.

Deflecting molecules not so much.

Except IIRC Reed didn't even NOTICE he was using superpowers at first until it was pointed out to him.

And they spent the issue reailsing what their powers were, there's 10 pages of fighting the Hulk between the first face off and their self destruction. Vector knew full well what his power was by the time he "died", as did Vapor, ironclad and X-Ray.

Reed was actually more irresponsible. His plan was to get to the Moon, not get powers. And he didn't bother with a WHOLE bunch of basic details. Unless this a Niles Caulder moment and he just went, "Ahh, what the fuck, let's see what happens." And what was Reed going to do once he got to the Moon? Without a lander? Or a way back?

Actually--come to think of it, it's NASA's fault for building a ship with crappy shielding in the first place, something I've never seen anything mention. Actual astronauts could have been killed, and they sure as fuck knew better then.

Reed built his own Rocket NASA had nothing to do with it. It cost him his family's fortune.

[jlroberson]

Um...so why did they have to steal it in the dead of night? I was under the impression all this time that Reed basically hijacked a rocket. (and by the way, if so then Reed's ignoring the shielding becomes more suspect--and didn't Claremont once as much as say Reed in fact had meant that to happen?)

[iskander]

It was built at an army base. Reed was quasi under their oversight. This was the original origin,as well as the JMS retelling. You find out about the money coming from The Richard's estate during Byrne's run( the story where the FF go looking for Reed's father). :)

[geoffsebesta]

Yeah in the original FF vs. X-Men it was revealed that Reed planned the whole thing. Sorta retconny, it's been more-or-less ignored ever since.

[salad_barbarian]

Actually didn't it get revealed that he didn't plan it and the idea that he did was a plan by Dr. DOOM?

[geoffsebesta]

you might be right, it's been a long time.
