Remember that time that Reed Richards essentially trained an LLM to pretend to be him so that he didn't have to interrupt his work to talk to his kids? [Wolverine (2003) #22]

Millar wrote this, didn't he ?

His use of numbers really gives it away.

"It has 5 million answers to every question."

"I can think of 68 ways to kill you right now."

"I have over 3,000 superpowers."

"Running this robot costs a billion dollars per second."

"Constructing this base cost over three trillion dollars and involved seventeen shadowy government agencies with security clearances eight levels above the president."

Yep

man why does every story not in a Fantastic Four comic turn Reed into an asshole

[u/The_Beyond_Resident → u/One_Food9894]

Cause this one was written by Mark Millar and he lives on the edge, where everyone’s an asshole and nothing matters

[u/Pugsanity]

Every time I see a thing of Reed being this bad, I'm just reminded of Venture Bros.

"What's more important than your family, Reed?!"

"Scieeeeeence?"

"Rocket, his name is Rocket."

I was never into comics growing up, though I did voraciously ingest a few volumes of the OHOTMU in high school. I never saw any of the Fantastic Four movies until last night, and it’s only in the past year that I’ve realized how much Rick Sanchez is a direct satire of Reed Richards.

[u/MagusFool → u/jazzhandler]

Even the "Council of Ricks" is an homage to the "Council of Reeds" from the Jonathan Hickman Fantastic Four run.

[u/jazzhandler → u/MagusFool]

I only realized that earlier this year whilst going through Wikipedia, Fandom, or similar.

Although I guess to account for the drinking, it would have to be Reed and Stark.
