One of the best iterations of the Marvel Universe has to be the short-lived animated seriesAvengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. Perhaps one of the only times when audiences saw The Fantastic Four, Avengers, and the X-Men share a space other than comics in the same universe, the show truly gave its viewers a living, breathing Marvel Universe, where characters would have a lot of history together.
It is often the case that Reed Richards has been depicted as an aloof and distant partner to Sue Storm, which often causes a lot of issues in their relationship.
However, it is not remiss to other characters in the Marvel Universe that Susan Storm is an attractive woman, and with Reed away, there are a lot of people who make passes at her, sometimes even indirectly to Reed. However,Earth’s Mightiest Heroesgives us a Reed Richards who was ready to brawl it out with Iron Man, for even suggesting that he could take Sue after she breaks up with him.
Reed Richards can be a menacing character if he is allowed to be
There seems to be a popular misconception that Reed Richards, as a nerd, is kind of a wimp. This has led to a lot fans wondering why Sue Storm never decided to go with someone else, someone who is more capable, not only as a husband, but also as a fighter.

On top of being the Smartest Man alive, Reed Richards’ body essentially functions like that of an Eldritch God.

Pedro Pascal’s Reed Richards will be a father, but that does not mean he cannot be badass
More than a few sources point towards Franklin and Valaria Richards being a part ofFirst Steps. This means thatPedro Pascal‘s Reed Richards that we will be seeing in the film will probably be a lot more mature and tender. However, as shown by his depiction inMarvel RivalsandAvengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the character can dish out his fair share of punishment, rivaling the kind of damage that heavy hitters like Black Bolt and Black Panther can do.

The Reed Richards that enters the MCU can redeem the character in more ways than one. While Miles Teller, Ioan Gruffudd and John Krasinski’s versions of the character took a more strategic, genius approach to the character, it needs to be remembered that Reed Richards, much like the rest of his family, is a monstrous fighter who can put any villain worth his salt on the back foot, physically or mentally.
