One day, Reed caught Victor in his room rifling through his notes. Victor was a brash and arrogant student, known for his enmity toward his fellow students. ĭuring this time, Reed met a fellow student named Victor van Damme. The Baxter Building provided him with all of the resources at their disposal and they even developed an oscillating window that could peer into an otherworldly plane of reality known as the N-Zone. įor the next several years, Reed continued to work on his teleportation technology. Missing his family, Reed covertly constructed a " Fantasti-Car," a fuel free vehicle with the capacity to fly at MACH-7, but never used it. His only close contacts were his fellow students and his dog Einstein. Reed's father was relieved to get rid of him, so Reed rarely saw his family thereafter. Storm introduced Reed to his "greatest achievements", his daughter, Susan, and her younger brother, Johnny. He began working under the auspices of noted scientist Dr.
Lumpkin brought Reed to the Baxter Building, the central hub for the Mainland Technology Development consortium. Lumpkin approached Reed's parents for their permission, and explained that the government would pay them a nominal fee for allowing them to take Reed under their care. Īn agent named Lieutenant Lumpkin, who was present for Reed's Science Fair experiment, recommended him for induction into a special government think tank-a program that recruited young geniuses in the hopes of creating the scientific leaders of the future. This garnered him the attention of the Director of Mainland Technology Development. He displayed his work at the Midtown Middle School Science Fair, where he successfully teleported a toy car into an alternate dimension. When Reed was only ten years old he began developing schematics for a device that could transmit matter across the dimensional plane. Ben generally associated with Reed in order to get help with his trigonometry homework, but he valued him enough to help him against the school bullies. Fortunately, he managed to become friends with the school's star linebacker, Ben Grimm. Reed's heightened intellect naturally made him the subject of ridicule at his school. His father often found him cannibalizing household appliances in an effort to create something never before seen by man-an act that often earned him his father's ire and would lead to physical abuse. While other children engaged in sports or played games, Reed devoted himself to the sciences. As a child, he demonstrated remarkable intelligence, well ahead of that of his peers. Gary and Mary Richards had their first child, a son named Reed and almost immediately, the Richards suspected that there was something special about Reed, who displayed his curiosity from the day he was born.
